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..

thanks for that lol . uhm what engine damage can it do. seen all other engines can take it . whats so different to a skylines engine

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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
