It has just been suggested to me that there are issues with standard ECU / tune if you decat the front pipe or put a high flow cat in with new front pipe. As there are no more sensors after the one in the dump pipe this seems like bollocks to me and have not read anything about this anywhere on these forums.

So can some one with stock ECU, custom dump and decat or highflow in front pipe just confirm there are no issue with how it runs on a stock ecu.

Thanks :/

It is funny how ofter we hear people being told porkys about the M35.

I had stock turbo, stock ECU and special dump pipe and 3inch exhaust from the dump back with high flow cat.

And the car runs beautifully. It won't make the car any more economical but you will gain some more power and pick up.

Thanks mate that's another one cleared up. Will pass it back to the source as well!

I'm with Andy.

Dump pipe, high flow cat & aftermarket exhaust. Absolutely no issues, more power,, more torque, no downside.

Someone is talking out their ear.

Thanks - probably the other end of their torso talking. :/

whats a cat?? :(

i know the sensor he was talking about. it existed on early 90s jap imports and it was a temp sensor for the cat. maybe if he actually looked at an M35 he would know. most people just throw imports in the same boat, mostly along with C34s hahah

I wonder why that would happen, lol!

100% no issues.

I have a high flow, a custom dump pipe, had a Kakimoto 80mm de-cat front pipe and a Legalis cat-back.

No issues whatsoever.

Indeed... whether it is the engine, transmission, DVD "player", suspension or exhaust, there are very, very few sellers and workshops that get their shit right with these cars.

Hmm... maybe someone needs to put a website together where people could easily get the right info on these cars....

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
