Hey, i just purchased a R34 GT-V 4 door manual 2000 model, now I love the looks of these cars but I'm not after power, just a nice daily driver in something that looks sweet, so the fuel economy is barely 380 per tank and i dont push it, so i booked myself in for a lpg conversion in october (they're all booked till then!), anyway I'm just wondering if anyone knows any problems that can occur? It's a non-turbo and its not going to be injection system, it's going to be sprint gas and its costing 2700 bucks. I'm in melbourne and i know that vapour/liquid injection is the way to go but i got quoted 4000+ even 5000 bucks for that and it's not worth it because the car has 100k on it and it won't live to benefit me from the more advanced gas systems, unless anyone knows any cheap places that do better injection, i'm in melbourne btw, thanks for the help in advance :-)

I'm just saying price wise, i mean minus the tax rebate, getting the extra good gas would probz leave me with 3 grand. 40 bucks to fill the tank. 350-400k a tank... I'm not sure maybe the extra good stuff might be okay but I'm just wondering how it might run on the cheaper gas but i got time to think about it and maybe ill see. :-)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      My BMW 335i

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
