the octane has dropped a bit over the years but its still 100-105 im sure, so mines tuned hard for ultimate 98 soo its not that far off on the lpg.

the problem with high HP and LPG is that you struggle to flow the gas out of the tank unless you run no gas lock offs or modified 1's both of whichis highly illeagle and bad when you catch fire

I have a mate that works in the Gas industry.. He swares the injectors are the way of the future. That said, he has only fitted a few because of their price! Has was also concerned about getting good HP for good $$$.

I have another idea, what does the whole kit weigh? tanks and converters and crap?

sure it may be cheaper to run, but unless it is a very well implimented system, you are gonna battle with it, and then resale?

worth the savings?

Butchered car otherwise.. :happy:

I personally cant believe the number of stupid comments inn this thread. Gas research was fine in the 90's as that was all that was available, and it was being fitted to carby cars. Its like saying you could make more power on a gts-t by running a blow through holley,and a dissy, might be true, but the loss of drivability would easily offset the power.

LPG injection has come a long way in the past few years, and the price has dropped significantly. There are a few good systems coming out now, which mean you can have the best of both worlds. Maybe not suited to 800hp gtr's, but 400hp gtst's and stagea's are now becoming a practical cheap means of a daily driver.

like im sure many of us i drive my gtr to work for a bit of fun but with petrol its getting outs control lol

anyone thought of putting lpg on thier gtr?

i think gas research would be the only way to go due to the injection not beeing able to keep up with the power of gtrs.

previously i converted a 180sx with a ca18det (4 yrs ago ) and it produced 220kw atw, on gas research,

any thoughts?

how bout water???

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
