I feel a bit stupid even asking this, but on the R33 stunck on the underside of the bonnet there is the standard grey liner. I figure Nissan put it on for a reason, but its rubbing on my newly painted strut tower bar. What difference will binning the liner make?

I would hope so, but then again I know that in some countries the legal definition of "asbestos free" can include up to 5-10% asbestos and therefore can sneak into the country (like in gaskets etc) unnoticed. I would hope Nissan wouldn't include this, and thinking logically, the lining under a bonnet wouldn't need to withstand the kind of temps that you would usually need a material like that (as opposed to brakes, gaskets etc) so I would assume it wouldn't include it?

Yeah I leave mine on there for that reason ^^^^

I searched not long ago for these and they are still available from amayama. Not sure on shipping but its not overly expensive

Shipping might be the killer but if you wanted to replace it with a new one, its still probably not going to be to bad

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      255 can't go wrong with the price.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
