ive got a stock r33 gts-t and looking to get a bit more power + sound, im thinkin a 3.5inch system, sounds a bit overkill but id like to go for 300rwkw down the track.

so im thinking of going for a big hiflow cat over a gutted stock one for legal reasons, so question is wats the diameter of the stock one, and also the dump pipe (which is the one comming from the turbo to the cat right?)

so is it possible to keep the stock dump pipe(reason for this is wen i upgrade my turbo, ill need to change it agen right? if i go for a bigger turbo, something to handle 250-300rwkw) and can i go into a 3.5inch cat with an adaptor or something?

if im not making sence, i want a 3.5inch system, but also save money at the same time, hence the reason i wna keep the stock dump, so i dont have to buy another 1 later on, and i heard cats restrict the rb25 alot and i heard the 3inch highflows are shit, so i wna find a less restrictive one, would a 3.5inch highflow metal cat flow good? if not wat brand/size do u guys recomend for a 3.5inch system

can someone point me in the right direction please, im new to the modification scene.

For starters, anything under 350rwkw and a 3inch system is capable of performing well. If you go for a 3.5inch system it will cost you 30% more for no gain whatsoever (except for the extra loud exhaust note).

You can change the cat back system to whatever you like then just bolt on the larger catalytic converter and front section later if you like. If you get something custom made for a dump pipe, it can easily be chopped later if it has to be and would only be around $100 to change it to suit the new turbo.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
