haha, yeh i have heard about cheap ones on ebay, but after the whole GTDNO thing i went through on here i would rather buy one from someone legit...I heard of some available from somewhere in Redcliffe for like $180, but dunno the name of the joint. Any help would be kool, if we can we might organise a group buy.

$170 each and you can have as many as you like

3" high flow

Brand: Carsound.

Have been running 18psi and lots of hard time on this one for 2.5 years now and is still good.

My car runs rich as a muther and it is still ok

I work at Midas Woolloongabba but am currently filling in for someone at our Capalaba store.

And then you can have it fitted also.

Depending on the car and setup...fitting won't be more than $80

Step One, remove cat from system.

Step two, stand cat north south over a drain.

Step three, using a hammer and screw driver, belt away at the honeycomb looking filling.

Step four, continue belting away until said honeycomb is all in the drain.

Step five, re-attach cat to system.

I did this on my secret track car, as its illegal to not run a cat on poublic roads.

Problem with a 2nd hand one is that the internals of the cat will be demolished by now

They should only be keeping good cats at most of the wreckers anyway. You can still get a secondhand good one if you look, just like buying a turbo. I did the same for an engine conversion about 6 years back and both are still going well. A cat can last for a long time as long as it is operated properly in the car it came from (correct fuel mixture, temperature.)

You forgot Step 6. Get pulled over by transport inspectors who tell you your cat is hollow because of the poisonous gases bellowing out the back

and Step 7. Get fined up to $5000 depending on how 'aware' you were that it was hollow.

But what if there is no cat there? You can't be aware of a hollow cat if you don't have a cat now can you :P

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
