Poor turnout for the Show n Shine, was there for about 20min... I vote my car for the loudest, Jamie heard me driving down the main road haha.

Where did you get yours made up?

What material is it made of?

lol you guys are gonna get pinned like eeeeeeeeeeeeervy day

Full stainless, hiflow cat only :P I rarely drive anywhere, only to work, which is a 10minute drive

Who did the exhaust?

PM me if you prefer, I'd like to have twin stainless steel and fix my twin muffler while I'm at it.

decat mang... mine is a cat shell with the ends cut off and a 3" pipe through it.

cant possibly get fine for it as it 100% looks the same as a cat

have heard of them using a temperature gun to see if its a real cat or not. also doesnt it sound hollow when tapped compared to a normal cat?

with the pipe welded into a shell it doesn't sound hollow.

if they hit it with a temp gun the best they could ascertain is that it's a cat that has broken over time and give an EPA - to which you would NEVER turn up to with the decat.

they can't actually PROVE anything....

of course there are about 600 other things they could pick on.... lol

yeh but it could be a f**ked cat.... they cant prove you were intentionally running without a working cat unless they drop it....

although, the way labour is running this state i wouldn't be surprised if vicpol will be issued with toolkits soon

either way that is pretty much a thing of the past now as a copper can just tick a box on a NOU that epa's you, and ANY car can be given an NOU without much hassle so they don't need to bother checking things like that.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
