*Smack* take it to whoretown boys :-) back to cat fines....

My understading is that in the eastern states you can get a maximum fine of 10G for having no cat against the emmision laws.....

The flame looks cool and all but if our fines are as bad is it worth it?.... up to the individual and the environmentalist within really.....

well ive got a mate who was pulled over that had dickhead annoying cops, he actually had a smashed out cat with a pipe through it. they pulled him over because he dropped a big flame out the back and they saw it. the cops tapped it with a batton and said it sounded hollow although i doubt they could tell from that. gave him a yellow for that. he tried to take it over the pits with the punched out cat and they just said get a cat and we can pass your car. no fines.

i believe that a workshop who fits the hollow cat or test pipe can be fined up to 10k, not the indibidual with the car, u just get a yellow at worst. never heard of anyone or any place getting a 10k fine anyway. bit of an urban myth.

Erm ....... I seem to remember some espousal of virtues about this forum and the SAU WA club to promote responsible use of modified and high performance imports. I'm with R34:

Why bother guys for the poofteenth of a horsepower you gain over a larger sports cat.

Lets do the enviroment a favour as most of you will be around longer than an old bugger like me

Really guys, there have been plenty of threads in the last 18 months talking about abusing the privileges that we all enjoy (i.e. the right to drive a high performance import) and what that abuse will bring about. So a load of you half my age have just groaned and gone "WTF!". Well, if you can't handle it, that's tough.

There are plenty of mods that are on the margin, but taking your cat off is just crap. Changes to intakes and the like make a marginal difference in emissions and adding a SAFC or similar actually improves them. Taking your cat off makes your emissions a hundred times worse. Boasting about it just shows you need a bit more time in the nursery before you're allowed out to play with the adults.

This forum is about responsible use, so if you demonstrate irresponsibility, don't be surprised if you take some flak! Don't forget this is a pulic forum and you are handing propaganda to those who would regulate us to death. This is just as bad as that crap about the dickheads cutting up an oval, a while back. Jeez, guys, get some perspective!

Cheers.

Further to the point of the thread, i have a mate who purchased a car that has no cat. The cops pulled him over to issue him with a speeding fine. The checked his exhaust by having him rev his engine. What they did while he was doing this i do not know BUT he drove away with just his driving infringement. So far as i have been informed by workshops etc it is as we all know against the law to not have a cat but the police have no sure way to check at this point.

On the topic of removing the cat i was under the impression that a car that has no cat but has a stock (recirc) BOV would not produce flames. I was told the an ATMO BOV would bring the flame issue to the fore. I have no idea why this would be and i am just trying to get my facts straight... Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

You might not have noticed, but what tends to happen on these forums is that the discussion develops from the question first raised. Also, as your question implies quite clearly consideration of removing a cat, the thread has discussed the merits or otherwise of that move.

Also, I was not specific with regards to who was boasting about not having a cat. I did not accuse you of it. These is another contributor to the thread who was - hence my point.

As for your personal observations, given the context of your first comment, I think you should consider carefully your own ability to pass judgment on maturity. Perhaps if you were to take part in the debate you have started, rather than ignore it, then others would refrain from throwing brickbats (and their contribution could be improved too).

Cheers.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
