Here's a rough guide:

1) Disconnect coil pack loom.

2) Cut throttle cable and tie off so throttle is always open.

3) Drill and tap the middle of the throttle body and send fuel line there.

4) Install a butterfly valve on fuel line and send throttle cable there from the pedal.

5) Fill with diesel

6) Drive

call me crazy...

the 4pot out of the patrol - decent power,torque for days and I hve been in one at 160+ kmh. it had more in it. now drop that into a R33,R32 shell with a fair bit less weight and enjoy. it won't be a drag/circuit weapon but it would generate a lot of 'WTF was that' as it went past at a decent speed.

likewise for a RD28 set up properly with a silly hairdryer hanging off it. . A lot of the R series cars HAD a diesel option in japan.

as a marker, look at the golf and the euro deisels. the opel astra 1.9T - 1000km /tank (50lt) and stupid acceleration when the ECU is flashed.

Is the last post serious?

Dont listen to these f**kwits, they just want you to ask why your motors blown after putting diesel in it.

The only way you could do a diesel conversion is by putting a diesel motor in it.

The car will be slow as shit and will have costed a packet to build.

There are no easy to transplant diesel motors that will resemble the performance of a modern european diesel, like a TDI golf or something.... So yeah, dont bother.

buy a rd28 hr31 halfcut

This is just about the only real way to do it, but yeah slow as and really not worth doing. Its an engine conversion and will result in a car slower than your mums corolla.

I think thats the end of the thread guys, you really should know better than to carry on the way you did. There is plenty of evidence that less knowledgable people have followed such garbage and cost themselves thousands in repair costs.

Please lock.

A 2009 (I think) golf parked next to me as i was walking to the bus stop today. I thought it was a truck at first. The euro's still haven't solved the "sounds like a truck" problem of diesels yet. If that's an issue to you anyway.

Because obviously this is a serious thread and not some one taking the piss and the OP actually has a degree in engineering and is going to convert his engine to properly work on diesel.

Is the last post serious?

Er, no. But on a serious note, diesel requires higher compression than petrol, ie 18:1 , RB25DET has around 9.5:1, meaning you can run lots of boost, no complications. Win.

Here's a rough guide:

1) Disconnect coil pack loom.

2) Cut throttle cable and tie off so throttle is always open.

3) Drill and tap the middle of the throttle body and send fuel line there.

4) Install a butterfly valve on fuel line and send throttle cable there from the pedal.

6) Drive

Lol. Win.

7. Disconnect waste-gate. Low compression will require higher air flow.

That's how I read it? whistling.gif

And the search function will never pick the thread back up again in future? Noone will ever read it again?

Maybe OP was taking the piss, maybe he wasnt, but hes not the only person that will read this thread.

Like the bloke in the US that read a thread exactly like this about flushing his engine. Moron went and drained the oil then started it with the garden hose in the filler hole to flush it out. Most dickheads found it amusing, but some adventurous idiot who should never have worked on his own car tried to do a lil DIY and got stung.

The read tone in your own post makes it sound like your being serious, if I were as smart as you I might have even believed you.

Dude what do you want from me? You really think i'm going to give two shits about some one doing exactly what I said? Just proves how stupid and ignorant most of the human race is and it's becuase of retards like that the human race isn't a few hundred years more technologically advanced.

I have no sympathy for the unitelligent and if you knew me personally you would realise trying to insult my intelligence with that last comment is a foolish thing to do.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
