NO.. NO... NO!

Edit: Sorry that's not very helpful of me.. in all honesty you should get yourself a shitter and perhaps get a skyline but as a weekend car.. if you were to put gas in your skyline you could do some real damage..

I apologise :).. let me rephrase.. it'll make the car run like crap and you don't want to do that just to save on petrol money.. You can have it retuned to run on 91 ron but that depends if you have an after market ECU.. because I don't think stock ECU's can be retuned.. you'll have to look that one up.. lol..

completely incorrect. theres two ways about it. injected and carbied. if you go carbied it will loose power if its duel fueled. if its injected you will not loose any power at all. as i posted earlier do a search and go see a local gas fitter who can install a prinse VSI setup. you will not regret it

its been done

theres a yellow hilux with a rb20det in perth running gas

still turns out about 220ish rwkw....

one thing you have to remember is that gas does not lubricate, so an upper cylinder lubricant is needed every now and then to keep all bits good

Without a whole lot of knowledge in this area I would say get a shit car and keep the skyline on petrol. it just ruins the car. it's like getting a bentley and painting flowers on it in my opinion. you buy a bentley for the status of it. I feel that putting a skyline on gas just takes something away from it. there should be no compromise with a skyline.

i've been in an R31 that ran straight gas with a sprinkling of nitrous. ran better and faster than my petrol based R32 GTSt at the time.

Gas Research in Hallam VIC (I think that's where they are) do conversions. Prices for ye olde RB30E start at $1115. They can do the DOHC engines too. They do dual fuel and straight, although its probably healthier to run straight as you don't have different mixtures n stuff to worry about. Keep in mind there is a govt rebate on conversion too in some states.

Depends.

If it's liquid phase injection, you wont lose any power, but if it's the other type of injection which I can't think of the correct name of due to my drunkness, you will lose some negligable power. In my opinion, liquid injected LPG is better than petrol. Whel the company that I aslso can't remember the name of comes out with their liquid phase injection kit which is estimated to be $2,500, I'll get one. but that's 4 - 6 months away.

I'll fill in the blanks in the above post when I'm sober.

My personal opinion, if you are not doing high Ks, stick with petrol. (Technologies and power figures aside) Gas conversion will cost a few grand and don't forget LPG systems also need extra maintenance. It will take you a long time to recover your investment in an LPG system, even if you keep filling your car with 98 premium unleaded. Besides the non-turbo RB 25 engine is fairly economical engine to begin with.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
