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

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
