Hey guys,

Can you have a look a these photos for me?

Looks like it might not be a hig flow cat but i would have no idea.

The rest is 3 inch as in front/dump and cat back.

So if this isn't, i would like to get rid of the bottle neck.

Will i notice much difference?

Should be able to get one off ebay for $160 i hope.

Yibeda yibeda !

Hi Birnie

Doesn't look like it, but very hgard to tell from the outside!! take it off and whild looking through it, hold it up to the light, if you can see the light throgh the mesh, then it may be a high flow. I put a magnaflow in mine and they usually retail for ~ $400, I got it through a mate in the trade for $150.

I'd be careful of the $160 'high flow' cats - if the are the generic type, forget it! save the money and get one that has actual flow figures provided for it.

On the issue of liberating a few ponies, when I imported my car it had a full 3.5 inch system, no cat or mufflers, this is the only way to improve exhaust flow - but not legal :cheers:

noticed a drop in performance when I fitted the legal system - also slower to come onto boost.

i got one (including front/dump) for my 34 from BATMBL. Have fitted or driven the car yet :P but how'd you find the car after fitting the new cat?

cheers.

i fitted his 3" front/dump also,

already had a 3" catback

it does the job, i dont really see the differences in all these cats, they all 3"

some are larger voloume. thats all

why pay $500 for 1kw difference?

A friend has a ballistic s/charged rodeo ute and has upgraded to some magic cats ( twin exhaust).

They are not fitted yet but the workshop is going to do a before and after with the old high flows first and then whack on the magic cats to see if they are all they are cracked up to be.

I will post results when its done.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
