Boosted,

I got a high flow cat fitted for $250, alternately, exhaust dynamics do a high flow - high flow (flows about 70% better than standard high flow) which is custom built - not sure about the price. It sounds like you have been really lucky so far - get a lotto and a cat before it runs out:)

Which is shit cause if the cops are being real wanks no matter what permit you have they could bend you over for the exaust.

of course they do!

I have Permits for my exhust!

if I wasnt sick I would talk to ya more on the cruise... :)

ask them to test your exhust sound etc... etc.

if you are scare of they ask you to take them off cuz it's too loud well then you take chance with cops!

cheers

Joe

Bwahahah, try taking yours off sometime and putting a straight piece of pipe in... i'll be betting you wont wanna put the cat back on again :D

My bro's 180SX goes like s.hit off a shiny shovel without a cat. At the end of the day even a high flow cat converter is a MASSIVE restriction on just a piece of pipe.

But... it IS illegal, if your willing to put up with the risk and the additional noise associated with it, go for it..... easiest mod you'll ever make :D

I'm headin to the welshpool pits tomorrow to get my sticker of, I was told they were the ones to see. I'll stock up on permits while im there. Stock road pits said I couldn't have a permit for my exaust. Those guys are wanks. Fail ya first time no matter what.

you dont need an emissions test to tell if the cats there or not, cause it really stinks if its not there, so if a cops following you, theyll be able to tell pretty easily.

I found this out when following a skyline, im not going to name him, we'll call him captain catless for now, he knows who he is.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
