Hey all

I've had a look round SAU and i cant really find anything to answer my question.

What is the law for nitrous fitted to a street registered vehicle in WA...i believe its illegal but i've heard people saying you can have it installed but the lines disconnected from the bottle. Is this true?

I've seen heaps of cars at shows with NOS which are people daily drivers and wondering what they do to get around cops.

Does anyone know of who i can contact to find 100% correct information?

Cheers for and info people can give me

Try Hyperdrive or Top Racing - the guys there will know what's street legal.

A while ago my nutty mechanic mate had just about convinced me to chuck a 50HP shot of nos in my 33 but my other mechanically minded friend just looked at me and said "SASHA NO it's illegal and it puts a lot of pressure on your engine." Lol so I didn't really take the idea much further

Yep contact the actual govmt agency for confirmation as everyone seems to have different interpretations of the rules and regs. I'd find out what the ADRs say about it and then contact the road authority in WA to see what their view on it is.

To my knowledge it is illegal to have ANY part of a nitrous system installed in a car on the road whether the bottle is connected or not.

Nitrous kit fitted to car is illegal to drive on public roads in WA.

Installations I have had a part in have all been 'invisable'. I don't believe in driving around with the stuff on the road. It's something like planting the foot real hard and breaking the speed limit that you should do at the track.

I fitted my kit on my old R33 gtst and everything was hidden real well. The kit was sold to 2rismo who now runs mid 11's with it and the stock turbo.

I'm preety sure its illegal $10,000 fine I think same as removing airbag steering wheel...as dan mentioned, you can have the set up in the engine bay but cannot be connected to a nos bottle....can try blowing air as you drive..

puff puff~~

subwoofer box has been done before, to conceal the bottle. It needs to be vented. The problem is that driving around with nitrous connected is that in the event of an accident, not even your fault, you may face charges and the insurance company will not cover the cars repair. Not to mention that nitrous oxide is an accelerant when it comes to any kind of fire you may have and the bottle can explode if heated too much by the event of a fire etc.

My 2c is get a kit if you like but, forget running around on the street with it. Save that fun for the drags.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
