LPG needs a high compression ratio to realise its full potential. Dual fuel vehicles don't really show off gas because you have to tune it for the lowest denominator. LPG is a much cleaner alternative to petrol and currently it's cheaper, but it seems the govt has already started to dig its claws in there too :\ Bastards. But yeah, rebuild an engine to run on pure LPG and it'll be cleaner and will potentially make more power too. I heard someone had made LPG injectors too, dunno whether it's true or not but effectively having to go back to a carby system (mixers) was always one of the shortfalls of an LPG system.

gas is still made from crude oil. burns in a similar way and gives off most of the same chemicals. your prob thinking of hydrogen gas not lpg. when the oil goes, so does lpg.

Yeah, but we have excess LPG and it is cleaner

IanB: Haha, ride a pushie to uni... I'll leave 9pm and get to uni in time for classes at 9am!

Hydrogen isn't viable yet.

I don't know anything about the performance side of LPG. Don't know much about fuel either in regards to performance :(

Mush: 50L.

The car does have horrible fuel consumption though - living in a hilly area doesn't help. I just can't afford a replacement :)

Ska: LOL. Maleny is two townships away. About 15 minute drive.

So you are in Montville, oh dear god, an upper-class HIPPIE!

There is no train station at USC. (Ok, so it'd take 3hrs to ride, not 6.)

When I go to QUT though I will be taking the train. Might even ride there some days! It's only a 30 minute ride to the station so it aint that far, but the roads arn't made for bikes so I'd probably get hit, lol.

Guess what everyone. The petrol was cheaper yesterday than it was today! Because thats what happens.

Low and f*&king behold the earth didnt stop spinning!

And I still got 10kms/L with my headlights on, wipers on, a/c on, and stereo right up driving in the rain.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
