Hi,

Im after a 3" cat converter for a r34 gt-t.

There are 2 to choose from - 5.9 ltr? or the 7.5 ltrs that suits high hp cars.

Which one would be better for the r34?

Thanks

Brendan.

my opinion is that the 5.9 ltr would suit the R34 GT-V and GT-t, and if the R34 GT-t or GT-V is high performance then go the 7.5 ltr on it.

Its not always the case of bigger the better in cats the cat may be a bigger litre one but if it flows shit then thier is no point for a genuine high flow cat u pay upwards of $400-450 for one that is a true high flow. Most of the other ones flow better but not best and sometimes not better than stock thoe thier size is bigger. Look for around the $250-300 mark for something average...My 2 Cents. Rob

Also the cat is the main blockage in a system. So it is worth spending abit of money on if you have it, just go for something average which should help abit and for track work or if your keen on the streets take it out and replace it with a pipe :P thoe this is illegal to remove the cat for street use i know alot of people that have it out and have not had a fine of any sort (EPA States fines upto $10,000) but i know a person that got epa's through a breath testing station without a cat and they didnt notice it at all. So if you really need the power just take the cat out...depends how keen you are. My 2 Cents. Rob

a cat with the guts riped out is the go, get the cheapest one and do that. then if ya get pulled over they can see it and you dont get done. if you get done for somthing ealse then put a cheap cat on to get over the pits as they mite tap to see if holow. very easy to change over, and their are very good gains to be had with a high flowing exhast. i dont want to be be a bad influance but this is what a large amount of people do :P

Tried to get my new exhaust fitted today, its a Veilside 3.5" system with no cat, just the front pipes, two small resonaters then muffler, but the exhaust shop wouldnt go for it, doh!

Theyre reasoning was it would belch flames out the back (they wernt concerned about epa) but they wouldnt listen to me when I said it already belches flames out the back :wave:

I couldnt find the old gaskets that came with the exhaust, and no-where had anything a similar size. The exhaust shop in question wont sell me the gaskets either because they know ill just run off and put it on myself :wave: But I think I might have sourced some a similar size, and if so, its off to deans on the weekend :)

you shoudl be able to source the gaskets from any shop (as long as they carry that size) - just tell them you took the exhaust off for 'x' reason and stuffed/lost the gasket if they ask!

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
