Yeah you won't believe this but I currently have a Stock Standard ADR approved compliance Catalytic converter on my R33 and when i went for the DECC inspection (i got defected for noise levels a while ago and sent to the decc) , the guy at the DECC inspection has defected me for the cat because i dont have the compliance papers. 2nd hand owner here...

So I've been defected again for a compliance CAT!

I need some help from the good natured people on this forum, because the only one i can find the guy wants 850$ for. And i only need it for a day! Im not paying that for a cat most people throw away.

Anyway the part im looking for to get past this DECC test is as far as i know the Stock CAT for an R33 Series 2, or it also comes off a Nissan Maxima 1998 - 2001 models

The cat will have X3 or X5 stamped on the bottom of them. I can post up some pics tomorrow.

Does anyone have one for Sale, or will to let me borrow/rent for a few days, else my car gets de-registered....

Even if someone has the full exhaust system i will take that.

Call me on 0401016609, names Simon

Thanks :)

Thanks :cheers:

Simon,

Where are you located? I have the same problem, check my thread under NSW. I am getting an original cat tomorrow. You can have it after I pass the test. I know what pain you are going through.

You guys just need a stock Cat from an r33?

Im pretty sure ive got one lying around. $50 plus postage if you want it. Coming from Brisbane.

Let me know and I'l Rummage through to find it and confirm for you that it has X3 or X5 on it (im at work- Cat should be at home).

PM me if interested.

Cheers

got a stock r33 ser2 cat if you want it. pm me or call 0421561681.. in gc qld

Hey guys, sorry no internet for the last couple days.

Um yes the cat was actually x4 and x5 stamped on it on the bottom (the mechanic is dyslexic apparently and told me it was x3, until off course i saw the photos and its clearly a 4), the X5 one looks more like a plate attached to the bottom of cat .

So yeah anyone with a DECC passed cat, i will take it.

The DECC guy in Cambpelltown who is apparently the best to go to has given me two photographs, it the cats dont look like one or the other, he wont pass em.

Will upload photos tomoz.

Will be PMing everyone who has replied here

i have a few adr approved compliance cats here is that what you require?? if so pm me they have flanges on the fo direct bolt in replacement

No they wont pass the ADR compliance cats, trust me i have one ont he car atm.

The DECC specifically want the original nissan parts that get taken off the car for compliance, i know it hard to understand but its the reality we seem to be faced with.

The cats have and X3, X4, X5, stamped on the bottom, some have a nissan stamp also.

If you have one that fits the above criteria PM me!

so basically they want you to return the cat to the "non adr approved" japanese version to pass a test am i getting this right?

That is correct, i have even called and spoken with the one guy responsible for approving these things at the DECC.

Greg somebody, and he is just painfully uncaring.

He will give you the following options

1. Use non standard cat and pass an RTA emmsions test

2. Get the non ADR original nissan CAT and get it passed DECC inspection

Believe me i tried to sort this out and get him to f**king see sense over this. Basically their reasoning is they can't trust mechanics or engineers or US. So unless you have compliance papers for your car, no deal. He even said if you get compliance papers now that youve been defected it wouldnt matter, you still have to go for an emmisions test again!

Good times

Those are the X4 and X5 cats, apparently an X3 is also passable but no photo of it.

Sorry for the horrid scans but the photos i was given are not the best quality.

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
