i am what you would call a newbie.

and i was simply just wondering to convert my skyline to e85

what would i have to do ?

cheers, sorry if its the wrong place.

Are you after power, or just to convert to e85? There are plenty of off the shelf kits available to simply change the injector pulse duty for running ethanol in any vehicle, but it isn't like what most turbo guys run for maximum power. You really need a standalone ecu for that.

It is highly likely you wont do an emissions test, just a sound test and inspection.

Just quieten the exhaust up, enclose the pod filter (if you have one) and make sure nothing vents to atmosphere.

DECC inspection needs to have factory items fitted. They generally take pics of the car when pulled over, when it goes for the inspection, and the on a database with stock engine bays.

Back when I had my DECC test the inspection guy had a checklist to tick, a quick glimpse I could see

He even had to draw a diagram of the exhaust, drawing all mufflers, the cat and how the exhaust ran under the car.

Ive done 3 DECC inspections and passed with a custom 4 inch exhaust and an 800hp motor. Pics were taken on the rd and taken at the inspection, as long as you dont change "viewable" items between pictures taken its ok.

As long as all aspects are legal (noise, plumbed back) you will be fine.

Correct, high flow cats themselves are not a defect. To pass emissions you need a Euro 5 cat with 500+ cells and a really good tuner.

My 500 cell cat and my one cell cat are identical from the outside so even if they took a pic on the rd and at the inspection they would see the same thing.

As for noise my 4inch turbo back was 88db with some minor "modifications".

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
