Alot of negativity going into this post and I'm really not interested in it. I don't know who you think I am but my opinions are my own so drop the tough guy acts in my post please

And I won't be whinging if I do eventually go down that path because I will have chosen to drive with that defect full knowing the consequences.

Now.

That sounds awesome James and Martin. I think I'll definitely be headingdown that path now!.

What's a decat pipe??

Thanks for the effort of uploading videos too :))

Oh FFS. It's a pipe that has had the cat converter punched out if it. Google.com and try to help yourself!

This thread sucks. Can I be closed now?

I'm new to skylines and this forum.

I see helpful and nice people so I'd rather talk to them.

A google search would help but I'd much prefer to meet new people and maybe build some friendships

It doesn't suck to me so if you have a problem maybe just stay out??

I'm an electrician currently doing my diploma I'm sure I could teach you a few things if you had questions. Although I wouldn't treat you like shit

Bang for buck is getting a second hand system from the FS section.

But if you want new.

Then get your local exhaust joint to weld in a large body centre muffler and take the hot dog (the lump in the section at the top of the pic) out. The alternate is to attract lots of police attention, as it will drone hard.

Ditch the stocker cat (keep it though, just in-case) http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18070&cat=275&page=1

That will leave you enough coin for a pod filter and box.

cheers Ruxis, glad to hear someone agrees with me, the skyline is the king, and the ford and holdens should be hosed off and put in there place :domokun: lol, not promoting illegal street racing here, :down: so dont get wrong idea, but the skyline is the best car on the street, so everyone should respect the rb!!:worship: maybe a bov is needed to compete with that v8 noise, so be it.. :cheers:

Best car on the street? I'm sorry but that's just not true.

I love skylines as much as anyone else on here but that statement is a bit much.

Id Probly prefer to buy something already done, less mucking around.

Well ACTUALLY, if we are getting technical and telling people to google here... A decat pipe is a straight piece of pipe with flanges on it that replaces the cat. Like this:

Evo4-6-decat-small.jpg

Bit different to a gutted cat which is what you were referring to ;) Picture for comparative purposes:

*EDIT* I would advise you use caution when googling the term "gutted cat". Sweet jesus, use caution :blink:

Lol yeh, I saw that and thought it best to stay out of it... But seeing as you called him on it; it's probably a bit much to say the sound of a bov competes with the sound of a V8 lol.

ok well one of the best for the price range, bang for dollar is what i meant,

So while were talking bout cats, is the "gutted cat" a bad thing performance wise, ive been in a skyline with the cat gutted and it was very noisey thru mid range as in very loud droning sound, is that droning the sound of back pressure, cause ive heard that it creates back pressure and to just use a high flow cat???

They aren't a bad thing performance wise, they certainly don't cause back pressure. If you weld a straight pipe through the middle then they work just like a decat pipe, but look like a cat from the outside. Otherwise I have noticed they drone because the sound resonates inside the chamber.

With the gutted cat do u get the popping and farting when you are backing off- I had one on a commodore years ago and it sounded Terrible!

Yeah you do get some popping occasionally and some flames too, dont think its sounds bad though. The droning sounds a bit crap if you throttle it on low revs, its like a labouring sound till it hits some higher revs.

Decat pipe with the stock heat shield put on it is the way to go thumbsup.gif

I've not got a BOV at all on mine, doesn't flutter that much which is cool, just a little bit. Love the induction noise from the 3" metal front pipe though.

Exhaust I've got a 3" custom dump with 2" screamer and trust power extreme 2 cat back exhaust

Doesn't drone on the highway at all and is quite pleasant at idle and low rpm.

here is a video, first half driving with pants on fire, 2nd half, taking it easy.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
