I will post here cos u can't attach pics to a PM.

You can have it for $40 if you want it - I think it cost me about $60 to get made up.

Pics attached - the flange bolt holes are at a 45 degree angle to each other .... not sure if this is normal, but you would want to check. I hope the pics show what I mean.

I am in Northgate fyi

Sorry, it looks like the sale is goin to Nightcrawler. But, yeah the flanges are meant to be set at 45degrees of each other on the cat. It should be a direct fit to your standard or aftermarket exhaust, provided its not a custom one. In the unlikely event it doesn't fit it only cost around $15 for Profix to knock out & re-weld flanges to align with exhaust.

ok...it seems the flanges on my cat apperar to be the same as your replacement pipe nightcrawler. Can u pm me your number so i can pick it up?

I need it tonight as my car goes into shauns tomorrow morning for a tune :cheers:

My cat is roughly 320mm long too...is that about the same as your pipe?

Northgate aint that far from me either...in near tea tree gully.

the pipe is excatly 342mm long from tip to tip - I am sure that is close enough!

I just tried to ring your mobile, but there was no answer. I'll PM u my phone number now.

well, had the new pipe fitted, and exhaust put on. All sounded sweet.

Then had the car put on the dyno where shaun started to give the car a tune to see what she could get.....

Made absolutley SFA difference....the car makes about 133 odd rwkw last time i had it tuned before it started to struggle to make power.Now the top end is better, and it makes a little more power but she struggles like hell.

It topped out at roughly 145odd rkwk then didnt make any more. :) Needs to go back to Shauns in a week or two for some problem solving. Might be cam timing is off, or something stupid like a boost leak.....who knows :(

Im soooo pissed....but the car does sound very nice with its "free flowing cat" now :cheers:

is this power figures for your RB31DET? i'm presuming your engine is fully standard aswell as your turbo? how different is yours to joel's?

Yes its my rb31det.

My engine is built to the exact same specs as Joels. (they were built side by side :) )

Turbo is a rb20det highflow jobbie (not done by me, but previous owner of the car).

My engine only has a few bits like rb20det oil pump (joel used rb25det) bigger fuel system (550cc, 044) and q45 afm/pod. Other than that they are identical.

I had some STR cam gears fitted when i had the motor installed, and Shaun reckons they may be a tooth out. :( I dunno myself, but it has to go back to get it all sorted in a week or two.

Dont worry about it Maxx, we were justy finishing as Joel went to leave....it wasnt gunna make any more power yesterday unfortunatly :(

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
