Performace Unlimited in Welshpool - 9458 1288

They supply and install Edelbrock nitrous

It's not hard to install though, and nitrous comes with the guide to install - I mate did his nitrous, and then you chuck it onto a dyno and correct it :P Saves heaps

The trev shops like Chris Mills and and A1 etc. will run rings around most, they do nitrous installs in their sleep.

If it's not a direct port system, the kits are designed for semi-morons to install. Tuning can be done on the dyno but, most basic setups are jetted 'spot on' with apropriate fuel pressure and supply.

Shop around. For $2k or less a properly set up kit can be had.

Jon...

ok as far as I know, you can have installed in the car but can not be connected up, if cops knows the fact that car carries NO2 BOttle, then they will check it for it. but they dont know what they are looking for? then they dont know nothong. simple as that.

you can get yellow but I dotn think cops cant charge you for it but if they do anything they'll give report to EPA... which then EPA will issue you fine upto $50,000 for the environmental Law as No2 gas would be way above the legal limit in case of accidental release.

over pits? I dont know depends on engineer.

you probably ask danny from here who owns No2 system in his R33

This is a very good thread to be reading as i think NOS has a lot of 'unknowns' can any of you guys answer these questions.. preferrably people who are DEFINATELY sure of the answers and dealt with it themselves... rumours will be the death of me:D

1. Is there any damage that can be caused from nos?

2. DOes my ignition timing have to be changed?

3. Do compression ratios have to be changed?

4 if i am running about 280 rwhp and 12psi boost will i need forged pistons or bigger anything to install nos?

5 Will nos create wear and tear on my engine

6.can i still have it as my daily driver or will it stuff up the longevity of my engine?

7. Any side effects of NOS?

Hehe... good questions 25GTT - I was actually pondering those too! :)

As far as I know, NOS can damage your engine and can also decrease engine life because you are putting it under a lot more stress (just like increasing boost to very high levels I guess). Having said that, getting a system installed that only gets used occasionally and with low shots of NOS you should be fine and it'd be a whole lotta fun!!! (plus if your engine goes, it should be fairly spectacular! :( )

Cheers,

Thanks for that dude!

I guess it doesn't sound too bad, mentions don't use nitrous below 2000rpm (but you can get a sensor that will make it only work above 2000 rpm) make sure your car is never running fuel mixtures lean, too bad if my SAFC died on me whilt using nitrous.. take some happy snaps of my engine on fire!

Hmmmmm doesn't mention anything about compression ratios... i thought this would have to be changed or something with turbo cars..?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
