i dont know about everyone else but we just take the catalytic converter off and ram a bar through it and knock out the catalyst... its not legal but it works and skylines run very clean even without a cat, so even if they bring out road side emmision testing it will still pass.

dude i emission tested my own vehicle, i saw the figures with my own eyes, not to mention everyone else in the workshop. i wouldn't say it if it wasnt true.. the skylines do run very clean even without a catalytic converter as long as you are running standard management your fine... its not like im going out telling people to do it that way thats just how i did it and it works for me

my exhaust guy told me if ur caught without the cat theres something like a $10,000 fine... im pretty sure thats true in melbourne.

safer to just get a hi-flow cat... dunno if its as good though as taking it out completely. but I dont wanna sell my car to pay a fine.

True. In Vic you risk a $10k fine for no cat.

There is no way in hell a catless skyline could pass emissions. Even my nose could tell you that.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
