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.

Probally seeing how loud his exhaust was at a guess.. its a bit hard to tell if there no cat in there unless you nosed is set to pick up excess emissions, tho a bad tune could also have the same effect as no cat..

ok, no cat will give you a slight performance increase, less restriction and all that, yes it is smelly, yes it is illegal, no i don't advise it, the 10k fine is real as far as i know, but i belive its an EPA thing, not something the DOT hand out, and unless you've really upset someone i seriously doubt they bother, id say its more a thing that they use on companies than individuals..

if your cars a daily runner, leave the cat in, you'll do yourself and the eviroment a lot more good and less hassle if a cop does pull you and spot it, unlikely but hey it happens..

if yours ia a weekend racer and you use fancy stuff like antilag, then get a cat replacement pipe, lots of antilag usually melts them after a period of abuse, but throw the pipe in on the day and pull it out that night, can probally get them made up for about $50 at your local exhuast shop with the right flanges, and take about 10 mins to swap in and out..

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
