Hey guys,

I have 2008 v36 370gt. Everytime the car is turned on and is idling I hear a rattling sound. Took it a mechanic and was told the cats are nearly done - got a quote from Nissan for $2000 per cat lol. For a second opinion took it to Autobahn here in Perth, and I was advised that they can "regenerate" cats and it would stop rattling. I've booked the appointment for Regen early next year. I personally think I'll have no luck with the regen so now I am starting to look for a plan b. Would it advisable to change the whole exhaust system and this would take care of the rattling sound? If yes, what would be a nice exhaust system that is not too obnoxious (as I use my car as my everyday) but can roar on higher revs when needed [emoji23]

Also, folks from Western Australia, any recommendations for a good shop I could go to?

Thanks in advance.

Hey man,

 

Similar issue about 6 months ago on my 370gt coupe. Rattling etc
Nissan quotes $1193.45 For one.. Lol

 

I went HFC ($600 installed) But have since just swapped to 370z cats ($200 plus $100 to install)
Keep an eye out for 370z cats or just go hfc :)

Super Cat Converters in wangara sell them they are a wholesaler who supply to exhaust shops.

Much appreciate the valuable advice. Will look into HFCs and give the Super Cat converters in Wangara a shout and see what they say. I've checked their website and they do installations as well. This is my first Japanese import vehicle so not too sure where to source quality mechanics and part suppliers. Any suggestions for good mechanics/mod shops and tuners in the greater Perth region?

Thanks mate, I will definitely go for HFC. Are you in the eastern States? Prices in WA are a bit more than the eastern States. The local Nissan dealership in Perth quoted $2k per cat lol

Dude, buy a set of high flow aftermarket cats. You don't "regenerate" or rebuild cats. You replace them. Don't be tight about it.
That's definitely the plan, I'm loving the 370gt and think I'm gonna keep for a couple more years.

What the actual f**k is a cat regen ?
So the dude at my local Autobahn told me that he's gonna somehow regenerate the elements in the cat converter which I found surprising coz if the compounds run out, the simple answer would be to replace them and he was adamant to "Regen" first prior to replacing them.

HFC all the way. Have a look at Fast Intensions or Stillen. I have a pair of second hand Stillen ones if you are interested.

Thanks mate, you in Perth?

Yea I am, down at Success

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
