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!

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
