lots of people run nos on the street even though it is illegal, most say as long as its not hooked up your fine unless you attract their attention...

I've stayed away from it because of the defect factor... you should be able to get away with it, it would just worry me that one day if you get a defect it means you would have to pull it all out to get rid of the defect notice.... otherwise eveyone would do it...

A good mechanic should be able to do a virtually indetectable install, along with a custom stereo will provide and area to hide the bottle... Thats how mine was anyway...

Bit if its a show car.. its lost all of its bling..

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!!!

Ok everyone.... im pretty happy with the final results, i could have gotten more, but decided against it as i preferred to stay in the "safe" zone to begin with.

128 kW at the rear wheels without nos

and 152 kW at the rear wheels with nos.

like i said before im happy with the results, as i have stay in the safe zone.

:D

Not sure about S.A.; but in VIC if a car is caught with any part of a NOS kit installed, a fine of $2000 per cylinder applies. That's right ;) $12,000 for our cars. If this is an EPA issue (not roadworthy) then i dare say the fine applies nation wide.

Not to burst your bubble, but is 24rwkw really worth the risk? Especially when a 100% standard GTT produces that power and probably a little more. Put an exhaust, fmic, Pfc and some more boost, on a GTT, and you wont be anywhere to be seen :D .

hmmm...i would be looking carefully at the graph with the NOS

there is only a 24kw increase in peak power (which is about 32 HP)

really there should be around a 55kw increase as NOS is fairly affective at achieving the stated HP gain...

i want to see a torque curve....

umm... nitrous is basically air just with a slightly higher oxygen saturation (33% compared to ~20%ish)

regardless its still air/N2O (oxygen) under pressure being forced into the intake - doubtful that it would account for 18kw, i think the difference is mainly the dyno.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
