HassanZ Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi all, I have 2 sets of HFCs and I believe they're both meant to be Kinetix HFCs. However when comparing them, I noticed a few differences. I know the ones without the lambda sensors attached are definitely Kinetix but I don't know about the other set. What's your thoughts? Your input would be greatly appreciated Images are attached. Many thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think that the set without may be for an HR. Check out the triangle flange to see if the flanges are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think that the set witout may be for an HR. Check out the triangle flange to see if the flanges are different. Both triangles are the same shape... Also the set without the sensors were bought off Daood (Dblock) on this forum and his car is not a HR as far as I know. Both sets seem to have the bolt holes in the same, if not, similar position. Only large difference I've noticed is that large peice of metal that sticks out of the HFC, which looks like a support brace? Both have the same filter inside them, which confirms the unknown one is also a HFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think Alex is right, see this http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_07up_350Z_G35_370Z_G37_high-flow_catalytic_converters.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Do you think one of the HFCs is a revision of the other? But both are still manufactured to fit the DE engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Do you think one of the HFCs is a revision of the other? But both are still manufactured to fit the DE engine? The most likely answer. You could check the American forums as that's where the company is based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Are those the ones which came up on eBay a week or 2 ago advertised as standard cats? Could they be standards with the heat shield removed. The fact that it has welded in bolts reminds me of how mines looked when I took them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they be standards with the heat shield removed. The fact that it has welded in bolts reminds me of how mines looked when I took them off I checked the inside of the cats, they have filters in them that look identical to the HFCs that were provided by Daood. Do the standard cats have filters in them just like HFCs? Possibly the OEM ones may look like that without the heat shields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Take a look at this Neil, did a quick Google image search on '350z oem cats': http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h ... 20&bih=979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 i've just had another look at mines mate and those definately look like the oem cats with the heat shields removed. Especially with the mounts for the brace and the ready fitted bolts welded in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
