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 :(

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
