I am almost positive this question has been raised before, but I couldn't find anything about it with the search.

My question is, can you and should you, convert a GTR to gas? Petrol prices are ridiculous!! was trying to sell the skyline because I didn't want to park it on the street near my house, but seems hard to sell these rigs unless they are perfect (which 89 ones aren't).

So now I'm thinking, I'd prefer to spend a little money and keep it, have it insured incase some Wickham druggo's decide to take it off my hands and have it on gas, so its happy... I mean, so fuel prices don't destroy me from the hip inwards.

So what would be the go with converting to gas?

waster of time and money mate. if you can't afford to put copious amounts of 98RON in it, you can't afford the gas conversion either. probably better in that case to try and tidy it up and sell it. :D

hahaha i'm with you, only have gtst but its still hurting me to fill it all the time, especially with the kms i do every week.

Good luck finding the horse, i'm tempted to go pushbike root, but carrying round a toolkit and machines might be difficult...

I have been interested in setting this up on my Cefiro

I have a gas research carby that can be hooked up in place of the throttle body

I have heard that tuning is highly important as they are very prone to nasty backfires

I really want to set this up for the power gain(if you fill up at KleenHeat Gas and get the good stuff that is around 110 RON) and also the low cost fuel.

Is extremely hard to find someone who has had experience setting this up on a forced induction car

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
