Stock Cat R33 S2 - X3 Or X5?

[phrensta]

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.

Thanks

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.

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

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

Pics of the required CATS

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.
