the extra weight will hurt the performance big time.

if you really wanna got for cheap fuel convert to E85 or even have the car detuned to run on 91 ULP.

or keep the 5k and whack a Gt3037 Pro S on the car

composite gas cylinders are very light. worlds apart from your household variety steel gas tanks

composite gas cylinders are very light. worlds apart from your household variety steel gas tanks

dont think they are legal here, i maybe wrong though.

Our tow car has 200 litres of usable gas makes 180rwkw so im not against gas just its use in a skyline :P

My bad, sorry, that stag has liquid injection.

Feels like around 170awkw, its a daily driver, just has exhaust and a high flow turbo (stocker failed and what idiot would replace ceramic with ceramic when a high flow is so cheap)

depends really....if you want big power from your fuel e85 is a no brainer.

but if you would still like to move around quickly but spend less on fuel, LPG is very do-able.

Mark has had his lpg gtr running now for 12 months although I think he never updated the thread....probably got sick of people telling him it could never work, so he just did it....

I think gas and LPG [ignoring for the moment its tendency to bleve] are good to go, I don't think a skyline is the right medium to do it.

Go and get a family truckster and plumb away!!!!

Not saying it can't be done, be like racing a shetland in the Melbourne Cup - knock yourself out!!!

if i used my skyline as my daily i'd go gas for sure. my patrol is turbo gas(250rwkw) and my old stag, the one n1gtr is talking about, is as well. i've seen up to 600hp so far with no issues and that's with single converter and 6 injectors. if anyone is interested in getting it done let me know.

theres no reason it wouldnt work our sv6 we had for 6 months had liquid injection on it and made about the same as a std gtr at the wheels, i just think the technology for decent power LGI (250 up) is just not reliable enough or cost effective, give it another year or so.

Mixer type is a no brainer but subject to different power levels with the climate.

Google "hydroxy" or "Browns Gas"

Litterally thousands of people runn fuuny little tubes into they're cars, trucks and vans.

They end up putting more energy into producing the gas than the extra energy it provides.... Interesting though.

That's all fine and well, if E85 was even slightly common, but there's all of about 3 servos in Melbourne that sell E85 making it pretty darn impractical.

I like the idea of a Skyline GTST on LPG as a daily driver.

Let's take high performance requirements out of the equation and talk in daily duty terms.

Pros and cons of running a daily Skyline on LPG?

I contacted the liquid LPG guys about a year ago and they said it was only available for common cars (ie Falcon and Commodore) and there was no universal kit available at that time. I wonder if things have changed. It does sound very tempting...

damn i would of liked the idea of cheaper fuel... i drive to the city everyday in my car and i go through sooo much.. im fillin up every 2nd or 3rd day >.< .. average 250 a tank :banana:.

is there a way to regulate the fuel flow without losing the power??

mate looked at doing this on his soarer recently, currently making 275rwkw. he asked a well known (amongst soarer ppl) tuner what his thoughts were. he said the current systems are too unreliable, and to go with a mixer type setup for both power and reliability...

as above, give it time for the tech to develope a bit (and the price to drop) and then it may be a more realistic option. either that or get a mixer setup now

also, some people will spout off octane numbers like lpg is something special, but with it being less energy dense, and i believe it has a slower burn rate also, i dont think its noticably better than 98 (any tuners feel free to correct me on this)

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
