There seems to be a neighbourhood cat that is attracted to my skyline. I have noticed catprints all over the roof/boot/bonnet 3 times in the past 3 weeks and today I see that the motherf$#%er has pissed down the crack between my windscreen and bonnet. How can I stop the cat from being attracted to my car? Could it be something like a faint smell in my interior that attracts him/her to my car or is it just another attack on skylines. I want to stop it from happening ASAP because its putting small scratches on my paint I think and I'm sure cats piss isn't great for paintwork either.

cats normally sit on your bonnet due to the heat from the engine (keeping them warm at night)

get yourself a car cover or get a product like this

Commercial Cat Repellents

4. One of the commercial cat repellents available is a powder called, "Shake-Away." Shake-Away bears the scent of the urine of predators that cats fear, namely, the coyote, the fox and the bobcat. This commercial cat repellent comes in a granular form, which you simply sprinkle around the problem area. The product is advertised as being organic, making it an acceptable option to use around children and pets. Nor will it harm your plants.

put it around the area were your car is and should keep the cat off your cat

try going to a play like city famers or a pet store and asking them for something similar.

yeah just put a car cover over the car, or a piece of tarp or something so if the cat pisses it just runs down onto the ground and not into your cabin air intake haha.

I think the secret ingredient in Passiona is "cat-piss"

OK cheers Kaido RR that makes sense as it has definately got colder during the nights here in the past few weeks which would explain why it didnt happen before. Not surprisingly it happened again last night, and my engine would have been warm because I got home at 11:00ish, I'll have a look for some coyote urine to replace the cat urine that is on my car :)

Its because another cat sits on your car. Its obvious the one that pee'd on your car is beefing with the other one and marking its territory. My suggestion, wait with a water gun or a hose and spray both cats. Or let nature sort it self out.

b b gun.. problem solved.. thats how we stopd like 10 diff cats from fkn climbing on our fences and startn trouble with our old cat.

i dont mind comn round n sittin outfront to wait :D

but i take no repsonsability with dmg to paintwork for missed shots haha

Call the council and they will drop off a cat trap for you. You then buy small tins of tuna and bait the trap and start catching the neighbourhood stray cats.

When you catch one, you call the council come and get it. If it is a registered cat the owners are notified and informed. If its a stray/feral then its destroyed.

I had the same problem about 5 years ago with some old fat neighbour that was feeding stray and feral cats. They were breeding like rabits in the car bodies abandoned in his back yard. We got rid of 12 cats in 2 weeks and solved our problem.

Nothing is as angry as big feral cat in a small cage too. Feral cats are freeking psycho!

Yeh I have Cats Staying under my Car @ night specially in Winter.. sometimes they crawl on the bonnet, i can see

there footrprint. Sometimes they think it's there friend n just stand besides it. I see it sometimes just sitting next to it..

Strange.. but i Have a Black Car n it seems to attract it :)

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
