The egg smell is from the sulfer used in the fuel.

BP Ultimate & Optimax come from the same manufacturing plant. This plant uses oil from overseas which has a lower sulfer content. However Ampol & Caltex & Mobil use a local oil mix which has a higher sulfer content.. hence the eggy smell.

i think its more to do witht he chemicals in your cat than actually a broken cat or your fuel... the cat's got reacting agents in it that neutralise certain gasses, I guess your one jus came with less of that...

maybe you should put it up on a hoist n punch your cat (hit da kitty hit it hit it :() and listen to see if it rattles. If it duz u'r cat guts are loose and are on the verge of goin into your resonator and possibly your muffler.

Sumhow I dun think you drive your car that violently to gut your cat... maybe its just the chemicals in your cat being wierd...

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?

      Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.
