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.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
