<_< hehehe... ultimately that's true! but you also have to be practical & there's no point being an extremist. my mountainbike won't get me to the snow to go snowboarding or down to the coast to go scuba diving though...

Did you ever take other considerations into mind? Like the environment??? I also got some more info about the new gas tanks (CTs)... they are produced by a NZ company... Propane Performance Industries

You are also removing weight.. you remove the exisiting fuel system and tank and REPLACE it with the LPG system... I'm not talking some dirty-whore duel fuel system... "That's one LPG neat thanks bartender." And if i'm doing 25,000 - 30,000 kms+ per year... in the car i want to be driving all those ks in, then it is well worth a 10% or less performance loss. Hell I can make that loss up with other mods. So question still in the air (i haven't called C&V yet) - anyone know any AWESOME GAS installers with lots of experience in turbo'd 6s??? c'mon VL nuts...

correct - it is a byproduct of the oil/ petrol refining process

Very good point!

It's more than that though. I'm not just talking $$$ here, nor was only talking $$$ orginally: LPG reduces wear on the engine... it's cleaner burning.... You can run higher compression ratios.... it's better for the environment (wouldn't it be nice if the media caught on that "rev heads" were actually doing something positive)... power loss has been virtually negated (or in some cases claims that power increases)... not sure about this though, as lpg contains less energy than petroleum And yes... now that petrol prices are soaring the economy is looking even better if with the installation of an expensive system. Enthusiasist are hurting more than ever with the current prices and it will get worse (we all know that). Does anyone know a good... no skip that. Does anyone know an EXCELLENT truly PROFESSIONAL autogas installer???

Sorry - I let this slide a bit, didn't I??? I had done some research and not got very far. All the gas converters I spoke to had very little experience with turbo charged engines let alone a real performance vehicle like the GTR. Mostly the all did baby-cot carriers - fords and holdens... I've actually changed my tak and realised that because of my lifestyle (snowboarding, scuba diving and mountain biking) I need a wagon... Enter Stage(a) left. Or maybe a Mitsubishi Legnum (but I don't think I can wait for compliance process) Now I'm looking at either Stagea RS4 or RS260. Given my previous enquiry into the GTR, the basics still relate to the RS260, and hopefully the RS4 should be a bit simpler. As for injected systems, Gen 3 gas injection has been available for some time and I understand that this does away with the mixer / carbie system that has been the trademark of LPG systems. There is also a system that was on New Inventors that claims to increase power... the GTi Stealth Injection System. I've just sent Bill at GasInjection an email so hope to get some info back from him... There was also a new LPG tank that I recently read about "somewhere" but can't find now, and it was more modular in design, more able to replace the existing petrol fuel tank and stronger. But if anyone else has something useful I'd be willing to listen... especially given the lack of good advice that I have received thus far from the people in the LPG trade. Cheers.

I'm considering a conversion of either an R33 or R34 GTR to run solely on LPG. Does anyone know someone with the experience and knowledge that I could discuss this with? Or does anyone have any information regarding it? I don't know of any LPG GTRs...
