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

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

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.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
