Hey guys

The engine in my r33 gtst is getting a full makeover. The final result should show well over 300rwkw. I have been reading on the Internet on how to get flames out the exhaust after giving it a boot?

If you degut the carry or whatever it's called will you still get in trouble or will they see it has a cat and not know its gutted?

Also when it says the car is running rich. Does that mean you run it richer then normal or will it still blow flames on a normal tune just without the cat.

Cheers

Tyler

Yes gutting the cat will assist with flames, but it's a terrible reason for getting rid of that cat which is a critical part of the exhaust system. If it is a street car i highly advise leaving the cat alone or replacing it with a high flow metal one. It takes all the nasty chemicals out of the exhaust and traps. Without the cat you will not pass an emissions test if you have to pass one for rego whatever state you are in. If you gut the cat its still pretty easy for a switched on policeman to tell, just stnad behind the car when you rev it and it stinks, whereas nowehre near as much smell with the cat.

Getting caught withwout/with a gutted cat is a maximum penalty of $16,000 if i remember correctly.

Have fun.

Grab a fuel injector. Weld it into the exhaust system with an ignitor. Wire it all up with an activation button under the clutch pedal. SICK WAN!

But seriously..

Skylines get enough unwanted attention without shooting flames. You might change your mind once you get done.

Grab yourself a nice venom cat! :thumbsup:

Hotrod used to use a spark plug in the exhaust, and let it run overly rich on deceleration.

That's how they achieved it.

I personally wouldn't worry about it.

How are you going to see them?

If to impress others, a car thats quicker with less flames will generally impress more.

Either way, good luck.

Hope you don't blow up.

Yeah screw it.

I don't want to lose the whole car or have to spend more because of defects just for some flames. Ill see how it is when its finished and spend the money on something else.

Good call !

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
