Re: Cat Converters....

[Andrew Denniss]

its a $10'000 fine for this both the owner and fitter!!! But only if your caught heheh.  A good 3" cat will not restrict power anyway so its best to be 100% legal either that or plead ignorance- insanity Andrew Davo wrote: O well.  You win some, u lose some.  Anyone use the "pipe thru the cat" system by knocking out the inside of the cat and welding a pipe in.  Very illegal and i think theres quite a large fine for anyone caught with it. ScottDavo -----Original Message----- From: Mark Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, 8 July 2000 5:06 Subject: Re: Cat Converters....  I'm in the process of engineering my FJ, I've rung around and spoken to several engineers who all stated to me that a cat was required because the motor was originally fitted with one.  When I asked those same engineers about some cars I knew they had engineered in previous years, and that they had passed them without cat converters fitted, all stated to me that the EPA was clamping down on emissions and they could no longer certify cars without the cat's fitted. Wardy  ----- Original Message ----- From: Davo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2000 7:35 PM 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  --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
