That 80W90 Motul seems to be recommended for heavy duty vehicles. I really don't see any merits of you putting it in the FX. As for the p.s. fluid, I would get the ATF since it clearly says its compatible and YES, one bottle will get you at least 3 flushes.

i thought the fx required 80w90?
 
let me clear it, you are right about the 80W90 as far as i know. I meant to say that judging by the "especially recommended for noisy and highly loaded gearboxes", i do not see a major advantage to having this for the FX. Also, it seems expensive than oem. Just my opinion that I would stick with oem fluids during regular interval changes.;

havent really compared prices but i figure if nissan is sponsored by them then it must be good for our vehicles lol. Also our fxs are heavy figure it might help. im more concerned about what to get for ps and t case. :s
 
What would happen if the catalytic converter is removed from a 45 and replaced with a straight pipe? The rest of the exhaust is left stock. Performance? Noise? Throws codes? Back pressure?
 
Can the sensors be positioned well in order to not throw codes? Or is the ECU going to know regardless?
There would be exhaust leaks too difficult to seal up?
 
Should i buy 1 rotor? for my front right side or should buy rotors as a set?

It will also increase the smell of the exhaust quite a bit. Like a race car.

Exhaust leaks where?

I read this as: exhaust would leak from directly under the passenger compartment instead of making it all the way out and be stinky for occupants. Did you mean that tail emissions would be stronger when they exit the rear?

I was originally thinking, why go resonator-delete; just go cat-delete. ???

EDIT: (discussion purposes only - green purposes aside)

Oh, right. No leakage (unless something is wrong) but the smell from the tail pipes would be stronger.

Resonator delete will get you more sound. That's about it.
 
ok thanks, also when i disconnected my muffler from mid pipe, their was smell. Then i connected that part back and disconnected the y pipe end from the mid pipe, same smell. So straight pipe will make it worse.
 
I get smell with HFC's. Sucks starting up under the parking area because it kind of captures all the smell.
 
the only thing that makes the smell "go away" is the precious metals that are embeded in the cells of the cats, aftermarket cats do not use anywhere near enough which is why they are so cheap compared to OE cats. factory cats are 2 stage, first is coated with platinum and rhodium, second is coated with platinum and palladium. very expensive raw materials

What are you going to be running for cats?
 
well I bought 3" race cats and gonna see how they do. I think the turbo's will quiet it down a bit and hopefully won't get any rasp... I didn't think you could get rasp with turbo's tbh but can't say I'm 100% sure of that.
