Yeah you won't believe this but I currently have a Stock Standard ADR approved compliance Catalytic converter on my R33 and when i went for the DECC inspection (i got defected for noise levels a while ago and sent to the decc) , the guy at the DECC inspection has defected me for the cat because i dont have the compliance papers. 2nd hand owner here...

So I've been defected again for a compliance CAT!

I need some help from the good natured people on this forum, because the only one i can find the guy wants 850$ for. And i only need it for a day! Im not paying that for a cat most people throw away.

Anyway the part im looking for to get past this DECC test is as far as i know the Stock CAT for an R33 Series 2, or it also comes off a Nissan Maxima 1998 - 2001 models

The cat will have X3 or X5 stamped on the bottom of them. I can post up some pics tomorrow.

Does anyone have one for Sale, or will to let me borrow/rent for a few days, else my car gets de-registered....

Even if someone has the full exhaust system i will take that.

Call me on 0401016609, names Simon

Thanks :)

Thanks :cheers:

Simon,

Where are you located? I have the same problem, check my thread under NSW. I am getting an original cat tomorrow. You can have it after I pass the test. I know what pain you are going through.

You guys just need a stock Cat from an r33?

Im pretty sure ive got one lying around. $50 plus postage if you want it. Coming from Brisbane.

Let me know and I'l Rummage through to find it and confirm for you that it has X3 or X5 on it (im at work- Cat should be at home).

PM me if interested.

Cheers

got a stock r33 ser2 cat if you want it. pm me or call 0421561681.. in gc qld

Hey guys, sorry no internet for the last couple days.

Um yes the cat was actually x4 and x5 stamped on it on the bottom (the mechanic is dyslexic apparently and told me it was x3, until off course i saw the photos and its clearly a 4), the X5 one looks more like a plate attached to the bottom of cat .

So yeah anyone with a DECC passed cat, i will take it.

The DECC guy in Cambpelltown who is apparently the best to go to has given me two photographs, it the cats dont look like one or the other, he wont pass em.

Will upload photos tomoz.

Will be PMing everyone who has replied here

i have a few adr approved compliance cats here is that what you require?? if so pm me they have flanges on the fo direct bolt in replacement

No they wont pass the ADR compliance cats, trust me i have one ont he car atm.

The DECC specifically want the original nissan parts that get taken off the car for compliance, i know it hard to understand but its the reality we seem to be faced with.

The cats have and X3, X4, X5, stamped on the bottom, some have a nissan stamp also.

If you have one that fits the above criteria PM me!

so basically they want you to return the cat to the "non adr approved" japanese version to pass a test am i getting this right?

That is correct, i have even called and spoken with the one guy responsible for approving these things at the DECC.

Greg somebody, and he is just painfully uncaring.

He will give you the following options

1. Use non standard cat and pass an RTA emmsions test

2. Get the non ADR original nissan CAT and get it passed DECC inspection

Believe me i tried to sort this out and get him to f**king see sense over this. Basically their reasoning is they can't trust mechanics or engineers or US. So unless you have compliance papers for your car, no deal. He even said if you get compliance papers now that youve been defected it wouldnt matter, you still have to go for an emmisions test again!

Good times

Pics of the required CATS

Those are the X4 and X5 cats, apparently an X3 is also passable but no photo of it.

Sorry for the horrid scans but the photos i was given are not the best quality.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
