Hey guys, got a 93 lux with a 3rz in it, prolly seen the build, just have some q's.. I have the engine all modd plated, however im getting a transport inspection due to getting defected, just wondering is it law to have a charchoal canister and weather i should bother putting one in?
It got modd plated no dramas so i doubt they should even bother lookin at it? And should i fit a resinator or cat converter in the exhaust? It currently just has the diesel system welded to it..

Any help appreciated, Cheers Chris

They dont run a Cat in them from standard on the Hiluxs. I think I may have my old canister lying around in the shed somewhere if you need it, let me know and I will have a look if its there.

With your luck Chris you'll get a copper who says "unleaded - needs a cat conv." wether it came with one or not.

I find it hard to believe that 3RZ's don't come with one though.

Those engines were designed to not need a cat to comply with that adr but there a law unto themselves so see what they say about it.

Hey mate I have that canister and stuff here if you want it, its yours. As for the Cat no hilux 2wd or 4wd with the 2.7 came with a Cat and I am 90% sure the Hiaces didnt either. I wouldnt bother with one and if they tried to pin you for it Id take it to court.

if your taking it over the pits, comply with EVERY one of their simple inane requests- If you dont, all it takes is one rego guy with a vendeta to completely ruin the rest of your year with a 5' long defect list!
