Mr Plod found out you didn't have one?!OOOh,this is gonna hurt!i can't talk-my V Spec has a straight through JTCC-spec 90mm Nismo system,no cat',no muffler-just a tip to quieten things somewhat!It's louder at idle than the 3200rpm 92dB set limit...Fark!The reason I'm trying to find out about these substrate cat's is so I can have a road legal ''zorst" built up,but try not to drop too many kilowatts...gotta keep the peace sometimes!LTS J.

Hi all!I'm hearing good stuff about "metal substrate" catalytic converters,but I want more info...Anyone got any ideas?Apparently,they flow up to 30% more than a hi-flow cat',and they're smaller.Sounds good to me!LTS Jayce.

Dont believe the hype with all the high flow cat rubbish. After 3 years any cat is gonna cause a restriction on the car. I have a magnaflow cat on mine and it worked ok for the first 2 years with stock car but now it is totally screwed with new turbo setup and smells like rotten eggs everytime u give it the car a bit of stick.

Bikes dont use cat, either do racing cars, rayy cars, drag car etc.

Dont know how they can justify big fine for cars not having one when any car over 5 years will have a farked cat anyway.

Why not fit a removable silencer to your tip? and have a Cat shroud put where the cat goes.

Thats all the cops notice down here.

hell cars get roadworthy down here without cats

Why don't you just get a "super high flow" cat... i know some guys running this and it is basically a cat with a straight pipe through it... so you can't be dinked for it unless they take it off in the middle of the road. You prolly won't pass emissions, but like INASNT said, a cat stuffs up after a while anyway so what's the difference.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
