Hey all, was hoping you guys could help me out with this one. I'm looking at purchasing a pair high flows cats, i have a 2003 nm35 stagea and pretty much all the parts im looking at, at the moment are for the infinity g35 and nissan 350z, im currently hooked on purchasing one from z1 motorsports and purching thier z1 highflow cats for the g35 de model, now all i need too know is if the catalytic converters are the same on the g35 and my stagea. if so i know it will fit, ive already looked a ton and from what i can see they look identical but just need too make sure before i go through with purchasing something from overseas which is pricey. i couldnt manage too find anything local as of yet hence why purchasing online and was going too get it custom done but the guy didnt look too keen on doing it and quoted me far more then i could afford soo only got everything from the mid pipe back done. but if any of you know any high flow cats which are a perfect fitment and/or if the g35 runs the exact same cats as the stagea would be a great help.thanks!

2003 nm35, is it a vq25det? If yes, the cat is built into the dump pipe on the back of the turbo. Very few aftermarket options. Scotty's customs used to make his own, not sure if he still does it. Am performance in SA is another one.

 

Pnm35 is a vq35 and the cats you are talking about in your original post may fit.

Buying cats "that fit" is not the only way to do it.

The only way I have ever done it is to buy the cat I want, without flanges, then weld the flanges to suit the car.

Yea I know of that way of doing it but I can't weld nor own one, and would need too take it somewhere and pay for that as well, just looking for something with direct fit so can do myself. if nothing then will have too go with getting it custom done or like you said.

No it's the vq25dd should of mentioned that too sorry, no turbo and I do believe I have the same manifold as the pnm35 and infinity g35, all run the same manifold I'm sure from photos. correct me if I'm wrong, soo that's believing me too think their cats are the same too, they look almost identical besides the fact they have o2 sensors in them. Just from the videos of installs I've watched its like as if it's longer in length then mine, but will do more research. Thanks heaps

Ok, i see. Next question is why you would want to get high flow cats for a vq25dd? They are unlikely to make a big noticeable difference. High $ for low gain. Doesn't really make much sense to me.

 

Personally i would leave the stock ones in there.

Honestly it's just the car I have haha and it's become a little project too me I understand there not much gain in it, I just wanna get a bit more power out of it anywhere I can and also my stock cats are making a very weird sound and looked almost cracked and rusted down there. Also want too change the tone coming out of my exhaust as I just got a custom exhaust from the mid pipe back done, and it's got a very deep low tone at about 2000 - 3500 rpm if I explained that correctly haha soo was hoping new free flow cats could change that tone possibly. I'm still learning. And oem cats I heard are pricey soo thought. Might as well upgrade if possible

OK still cheaper to buy from Venom than from the States. Or just take them off, knock the guts out of them and put them back. And to change the tone get a resonator and put it in the middle of the exhaust.

Or for more power buy this:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
