I just came back from the dyno and my GTR did a nice 260 whp at 12 psi with GT-SS ( sarcasm :ph34r: ). My tuner said I NEED to change my cat, we found some piece of the cat on the ground it's really block.

What are my option !? I don't want some cravy 600$ sard or nismo cat. I want to keep the oem look. So, I was thinking about buying a high-flow cat and weld the heat shield on it so I can keep that oem-look.

What do you guys think?

Why do you want to weld the heat shield onto a hi flow cat? Its not like there illegal, people only weld the stock heatshield on when there using a stright pipe to make it look stock.

Hey Cobraa,

If you have a look on Ebay, there are a couple of cats, the main one manufactured by a workshop in western australia that are reasonably cheap $200 - $230 in 4 or 5".

They use 100cpi metal matrix if i remmember correctly and these should flow sufficiently for your GT-SS's and at that price if your really chasing the power you can probably afford to knock the internals out for use on the track :D

I'm after one too

AFter researching Just Jap have the most resonable stock.

Catco/Xforce $175 each bolt on.

450+CFM. $370 for the 700CFM.

I'm probably gonna get the xforce $175 one

*edit btw Catco ones COME with the heatshield.

*edit again, there was a dyno done somewhere, hiflow vs testpipe. No HP difference. Obviously crap cat vs highflow/test pipe would be obvious. So just stick with Hi flow for legality purposes.

There was a test done. Something stupidly low

lame! makes me want to remove mine again, but right now it's the only thing holding back the annoying drone at 2000rpm

X-Force 3" Stainless High Flow Cat

it flows up to 570 cfm...

anyone know what a stock cat would flow roughly?

I got one of these on my r32 gtr making 205awkw @ 6000rpm with just exhaust, pods and 14psi. Seems to do the job good for the price!

I would also like to know this!

My muffler shop told me about magnaflow cat.. but that 175$ catco seems right too. Don't know which one flow better.

Have a look at that bad boy.

Straight pipes all the way mate

I actually run a high flow catalytic converter business, which drastically increases the flow through the unit whilst retaining the standard shell :)

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
