I'm sure thats the risk he'll have to take if he wants a gutted 1. Everyone knows the penality for not having 1 (all I remembered was some ridicules fine at least 5k or more) but yes he did say he want a gutted cat.

In any case I've posted a topic on which cat to use and what I've got recommended is MetalCat (I think Repco sells them for 400ish). But I end up getting the cheapo Catco ceramic one.

I think sayin "you have spent 20k f**king grand on your car & your a tightass" in the same sentance is a bit of an oxymoron.

But as much as hate to admit it thats a good point.

Does anyone know from personal experience about being caught with no cat?

Yeah, I got nabbed for one but managed to talk my way out of it.

If you do get caught, don't mention EFI to the cops or have a sticker on the car as they can be up for a $5k fine if they fit it. Make sure you do it yourself if you go down that road

Yea cat can be fitted damn easily (even idiots like me can do it), if they dont require welding. Cant you say you hit a speed bump and didnt know it was gutted? :D

The RnD in cats these days means you can run them with no issues, if you get a decent one. EG: What the ERD cars have.

You sacrifice a certain type of exhaust note, but the lack of tolerance towards no cats is almost not worth it.

I’m a fencer sitter, when you start making big power, one would think the un burnt fuel and heat would kill them pretty quickly?? But I guess they just become a part of the maintenance you need to keep on top of with a more serious car.

Yeah I was told by a well known tuner that they can burn out eventually especially the high power setups than burn a lot of excess fuel

i dont think that holds true for the new 100 cell cats. As dan says, we run 620hp through mine and pulled it apart after 6 months and 4 track days and it was absoultely immaculate. Brand new condition basically.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
