Can it work or will it be a better idea to run it off used cooking oil like some people do and apparently it's very cost effective?

OMG you were serious... umm google the differences between petrol engines and diesel, or better yet put some diesel in your skyline and report back....

Don't listen to half these idiots, they have no idea about the benefits of diesel and cooking oil.

Just test it out on one of your parents cars. Put a mixture of cooking oil (I like the Coles brand, I find it gives better torque than the bigger name brands) and diesel in at the servo. You will want to get the car up to around 5000RPM and hold it there as soon as you leave the servo so the ECU can learn the new mixtures and recalibrate.

The vehicle may jerk around a bit and make some funny noises but this is just the spark plugs readjusting for the new temperature of the diesel. If the jerking gets to rough you will have to give it more RPM, closer to 6000rpm.

Why do you think V8 Supercars are so fast as they are, they know the secrets ;)

Cmon guys, it's not really fair if you only give a guy half the information he needs. You have to perform a cylinder head port to cope with the extra compression ratio and flow the engine will now need. The Honda Sandbag method works best

Instructions here:

BTW, the idiot in that instruction thread went wrong because it doesn't work on German cars, only Japanese so with a Skyline you'll be sweet

      ATCC Amaroo Park 1987

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
