possibly slipped through? or maybe if it passes the
emissions test there is no need? wouldn't know for sure.
but sure man, if you can get away with it, it has to be a
hell of alot better!
....Optimax, good fuel, i think it really does work and
have a higher octane, plenty of people disagree and think its all
bullshit.
I'd like to see some kind of comparisons on
it.

of Cat converter I run it on super anyway as it runs better soon to be running
on optimax.If I had to run cat It wouldnt be a prob dont think a good
desighned one would loose much power.

Every conversion I know of, using an engine that had a cat
on the end of it in the original car, whether the car the motor is going
into originally had a cat or not, has a cat. No
motor, that originally had a cat on it, can be run without one, no matter
what the car is, dates ect. This is RTA spec,
it is however not required by engineers (as far as I know) to get your
vehicle engineered, because the certificate is only used as a basis by the
RTA that your vehicle is sound and road worthy, the certificate does not
give your vehicle direct permission to be on the road. Thus, RTA regulation, it has to be done. Engineers CAN NOT say
you don't need one, UNLESS the engine did not originally had
one. This is just from memory and as far as I
know correct, this is also for NSW only, wouldn't know any other
state, anyone else know of otherwise? Jon. -------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Cat
Converters.... OK, i lost a
bet today with my boss. I am down a carton of VB. I seem to remember a
while back on the list that if you put a new engine in an old car, the cat
converter is not required by law. The car is a datsun 240z and the
engine is a Toyota Supra 2.5L twin turbo. So i rang up the RTA and
they said it does need a cat converter because the exhaust system has to
be the same as the engine originally had. So i was wondering if any
of you FJ or SR 1600 blokes have a cat or have spoken to an egineer about
it??? ScottDavo
