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.

Thanks Brendon

No flow problems with them at all. We run a 4 inch 100 cell on the GTR at 620rwhp

Yeah im sorta looking for the cheapa alternative considering ive just spend 20k on other mods

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?

Ill tell ya what will be funny. . . .

When the EFI performance R34 rapes and pillages the PCE performance 180 :(

Both ERD cars will rape whoever wins :D

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 would def do it myself so It didnt implicate them

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

:D

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.

Ah ok well thats interesting.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
