Hi all please help if you can,

yesterday a strange dash light came on, I've never seen it on any other car but my skyline, it looks like a part of the exhaust with heat coming off it... anyone have any ideas as to what it might be??? its placed on the right side of the dash in the middle between the oil and battery lights, only recent mod done is an exhaust system - Trust PEII extreme with front pipe, standard Cat still on.

All advice is appreciated, thanks guys....

1)What does this light mean?

2)What is happening to the car exactly?

Its the catalytic converter "over temp" light.

Supposed to tell you to fit a new one, as the constant overheating of the cat will destroy it, causing a collapse.

If you just got a new cat back, its possibly not been connected back up.

As its a only a warning, and doesn't feed back into the ECU, you can just pull the dash globe.

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
    • I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.
    • And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.
    • From watching the 6 hour, it seems they've really got the class A2 Ford Mustang sorted, as it was cutting it up in lap times with he X1 cars, which are all those late model turbo BMWs. I have no real idea about either of them, but watching what was happening at the 6Hour, it made the Mustang which is meant to be in a slower class look very impressive.
    • Also Mark, perfect timing for you to offer Fab9 to open an Aus branch for them, where you'll setup all the contracts that basically you're just the paperman, everything goes through Aus for their gear, and you can buy a piece of paper off of them once every 3 months that's really expensive. Tariffs aren't paid on exports after all. And for it, you'll just take 10% cut for your name on the papers. Oh, and a free NC intake setup and air box...
