Hi guys,

I've been slowly buying parts to upgrade my car

I've got turbo (HKS GT2535), intercooler (Cooling Pro Stealth Series for R34), front pipe (JJR Bellmouth)

Is a cat from a R33/R34 bolt straight on? I'm looking at a magnaflow 3inch cat that has been flanged already and want to that it will bolt straight on

I'm going to custom the cat back (don't want a cannon tip and can't find what I want around)

the last bit is the suspension - this is proving to be a nightmare...I don't know that the group buy is still going...if it's not going - that what options should I go for (don't want coilovers - too much hassles and I have read the suspension thread and made even more confused :D )

Yes, 34 and 33 cats use same flange pattern, bolt on.

Have you considered one of these ? Mine came with the flanges, bolted straight on, very happy with it.

I fitted a JJ Bellmouth and Hi Flow X Force Cat. Fitted perfectly on my S1, with a 3" Cat back, as supplied

Increase in power most noticeable and saving about 2l/100 in fuel.

yeah I would love to get a metalcat but there are none around and I have spoken to some exhaust places around my place there is a massive back order for these...they recommended me to go mangaflow (that's my second choice) or to wait (which I can't)

If I can find a metalcat that I can get straight away then i'll buy one

just get the x force metal cat. cheap and good. be sure to get the high flow one its worth it.

Thats the one I got from JJ. Also put in a new O2 sensor at the same time.

I just came op the mountain and the difference with the X Force and bellmouth is amazing.

Before it was like 3 grand plus and 4-5 psi to keep at 60kph, now it comes up at 2and a bit with no boost, so in effect the S1 now comes up in D and not 2nd, hence the better fuel consumption.

Also fitted a hi flow panel filter caus I have a cold air deflector.

I have had a HKS 2535 on an R33 and I tried 3 different exhaust combinations and let me tell you the 2535 is a great punchy turbo but it really needs to breath!!!

If you can gut the cat and you will never look back, it really does make a massive difference.

It also makes your rear bar turn black from the carbon deposits your exhaust puts out too. But who cares when you've got a Stagea that blows flames? :/

Well I got a magnaflow cat. got it for $280. Now just gotta go to the exhaust place and get the cat-back made up. Xmetal - the reason I didn't get a X-Force 5 of my friends had their one collapse on them after 6 months.

I'm going to go custom as I don't like cannon exhasuts (personal choice) and can't find a aftermarket dual tip exhaust (or maybe I haven't looked hard enough).

I was thinking to go for a de-cat...but i guess i want to go for a sleeper look

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
