If you guys want, drop me a Trader Rating if youre happy with how things went.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Thanks In advance.

I just transferred the money for 16 magic cats into their account, and faxed off all the names and addresses of the people in the group buy (except those 4 above) to them. For the 4 above, dont worry, when the money clears in my account, ill do the same for you. I just didnt want to pay for those cats out of my own money in case something happened.  

I hope everything goes well with the postage side of things; i think they'll post them tomorrow at the latest. If you guys want, drop me a Trader Rating if youre happy with how things went.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Shaun,

I would appreciate being placed on your list for 1 x 4" cat on the next group buy.

Please provide banking details.

Mine just arrived too. Thanks Shaun. Feedback coming your way.

BTW what was the verdict on whether these cats are coated or not? That other thread has spooked me since I bought this to reduce emissions, not because I didn't want to get fined.

That testing hasn't been done yet.

Yeah got mine today too. I'm not too worried about that other stuff, i'm gonna get mine fitted soon. It does look like its coated with something, and theres residue inside the tube, so i think it should be all good.

Thanks again Shaun, champion effort mate, if you're ever gonna do another group buy (of something i need :D) i'll definitely be in.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend ya.

Cheers

Jeeeezus, theyre pretty small arent they!

Thanks for the good feedback guys; i just hope they perform for us all as expected. ill be keeping an eye on the results of the tests.

I dont think ill do another group buy; its too stressful!!

Thanks again,

Shaun.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but no surprise there being up in Townsville.

What im wondering , from the guys who have theres , ..........

Does it look like the curved ends holds the cat guts in........ ??

As i was going to chop the ends off as i wanted a true 4" to fit 4" piping....

Hope i still can !

Gary

Its hard to say Gary. The stainless mesh does end where the outside of the cat starts to neck down, so it might be captive in there. However, if you cut the ends off as close to the mesh as possible (while still leaving material to weld onto), it'll still be held captive and the diameter will be about 3.95 inches. Im going to do the same thing, because i dont want a reducer in my exhaust either.

Shaun.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
