darrinspencer Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 6kw, i bet you can really feel that!Id be interested to hear how many years you need to drive it to break even I guy I work with has a Merc 560SEL 89 model. Car is in now getting converted to gas. Cost is $3000, the government rebates $2000 at the moment. So you are out of pocket $1000. Unleaded in QLD is $1.50, gas is $0.70 so that saves you $0.80 per litre He uses currently 80L per week of unleaded, which will save him approx $64 per week. So he will get his $1000 back in 16 weeks! LPG does not get the same economy as unleaded, so that will need to factored in. So it may take a bit longer to get his money back, but definitely under 6 months and worth considering Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225991-nissan-stagea-on-lpg/#findComment-3982968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssshonky Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I dont think we should be so quick to poo poo the idea - hehe.. thats the 3rd poo in this thread- oh no wait now 4th . but anyways to be honest - if I new we could convert the stagea to dual fuel - and it would end up costing $1000 then I would definately be interested. Providing the power is the same Gasguy- did you do a before and after dyno test? that would be a really great " selling tool " so you can put the 2 graphs up and show the torque curves and power curves etc.. then I think that would go a long way to settle peoples doubts Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225991-nissan-stagea-on-lpg/#findComment-3986954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRO Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I am going to check out the forcefeed guy. If i can get better fuel economy out of my stagea i will keep it. If i get more power i will be absolutely stoked! In WA we get the $2k federal grant and $1k state grant so we get $3k to convert to gas. A good conversion shouldnt cost much more than that if sing a generic tank in the luggage space in the boot.

hectic180 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 It appears this is my Stagea in this discussion. I picked it up today after comming back from Over seas. I was i doubt at first about converting the Stag to dual fuel but to my supprise there is no power loss and drives like is on 98 ron. To all the "poo" party, please dont knock it untill you have seen, i belive Ignorance plays a major roll in you comments. I agree conversions are not suitable for all, however i drive the Stag over 450km per week and it is a must. I will post up pics tomorrow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225991-nissan-stagea-on-lpg/#findComment-3990235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree conversions are not suitable for all, however i drive the Stag over 450km per week and it is a must. I will post up pics tomorrow ....I wondered how long it was going to be until another Stagea was converted to LPG... Congratulations on the conversion. My payback period was about 9 months....that was about 12 months and 20,000 klms ago. However mine is a dedicated LPG conversion and not dual fuel as I didn't want to compromise on tune for both fuels...... I have recently been filling up on 100% Propane (105-110+ RON), same price as regular LPG, available straight out of the bowser in VIC, and this "premium LPG" is awesome to run on a turbo car if tuned properly. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...html&hl=lpg LPG conversions for turbo RB engines have been going on for years with fantastic results.....Heard of the 9 and 10 sec quarter mile VL (RB30) Commodores???....

MRO Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Good work HEctic180 for being first to do it. I love driving the stagea and i drive around 400 - 500km per week - only thing i dont like is the fuel economy. I considered selling it due to the km i am racking up. If i can get a decent gas conversion like yours i will keep it. Just have to sort someone out in WA who knows what they are doing at a reasonable price. Much better economy and more power - who ever doesnt like that is fkn stupid!
