Can it work or will it be a better idea to run it off used cooking oil like some people do and apparently it's very cost effective?

OMG you were serious... umm google the differences between petrol engines and diesel, or better yet put some diesel in your skyline and report back....

Don't listen to half these idiots, they have no idea about the benefits of diesel and cooking oil.

Just test it out on one of your parents cars. Put a mixture of cooking oil (I like the Coles brand, I find it gives better torque than the bigger name brands) and diesel in at the servo. You will want to get the car up to around 5000RPM and hold it there as soon as you leave the servo so the ECU can learn the new mixtures and recalibrate.

The vehicle may jerk around a bit and make some funny noises but this is just the spark plugs readjusting for the new temperature of the diesel. If the jerking gets to rough you will have to give it more RPM, closer to 6000rpm.

Why do you think V8 Supercars are so fast as they are, they know the secrets ;)

Cmon guys, it's not really fair if you only give a guy half the information he needs. You have to perform a cylinder head port to cope with the extra compression ratio and flow the engine will now need. The Honda Sandbag method works best

Instructions here:

BTW, the idiot in that instruction thread went wrong because it doesn't work on German cars, only Japanese so with a Skyline you'll be sweet

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
