Anyone in perth have a nos system in their skylines, if so what kit are you running?

I know it is illegal to have the whole system hooked up in WA. Other states can have it installed but disconnected at the bottle.

This doesnt stop a few people from installing it though. Still deciding whether to put my one in or not.

Why not try talking to places like XSpeed etc? They may have some tips for you.

Got to be careful it doesnt break the rivets on the floor pan. lol

Good Luck and i look forward to seeing the results :devil:

I have mucked about with nitrous systems for a few years with cars for drag racing. The issue in WA is that the nitrous kit is completely illegal. You can however rig one up that comes completely out in 20mins or less for a trip down the drags, with a small number of tools and a little bit of thread sealer.

If you are thinking of running around on the road with a kit your insurance will be void, the cops will probably book you under hoon laws and you have failed the stupid test.

the up side is for a drag racing experience on a budget nitrous is fantastic. I rigged up a kit on an old R33 gtst stocker with the intention of drag racing it, got it through the tune stage and then hit some kangeroos coming back from albany so I sold the kit to 2rismo on these forums. He fiddled some more with the setup for his car and ended up running 11's with the stock turbo on street tyres with it, I believe with a built motor you could easily run into 10's using the gas and nothing more than a stock sized turbo. You will never have the torque or power curve of nitrous with a turbo the sensation is really something else.

Sounds great.

Read up about 2rismo and his nos kit getting into the 12s easily.

Well i need to upgrade my fuel system before i install the kit. Hopefully i can achieve a 12 second pass.

Oh yeah so once you run out of gas, can we refill at BOC, or a performance store?

To clarify:

NO Nitrous kit installed, at all. Some people get around with a totally hidden kit, others remove the bottle and hide the solenoids. You do either of these things prepare yourself for a world of hurt if a cop sees any of it or you stack your car and the insurance Co finds out. Not to mention it's just not the safest stuff to go driving around the roads with.

Law hasn't changed here in WA since I last checked it 15+ years ago.

It's fiddly but you can make your kit pop in and out fairly quickly for a night at the drags.

lunjiaow,

2rismo was easily into 11's the bottle quite consistantly too.

You need a larger fuel pump to supply the total amount of fuel required for the total amount of power you end up makng. Other than that a colder set of plugs (just coppers will do) and a few degrees taken out timing wise etc..

If you are serious about it PM me , I'll try and point you in the right direction (provided you aren't intending to street the kit).

I find that very hard to believe, I'd like to though. Corresponding permit for the kit? I doubt that and without one of those along with the engineers certificate you have an illegal car and one that the police won't be kind to. With the hoon laws these days I would be very worried.

Even with a permit, if a cop wants to and believes the permit wasn't correctly issued then they can red sticker your car if he or she feels it represents a danger. Given the actual law, you will lose that one in court every time.

Sadly WA and Qld have left the question of it being made legal up in the air, for a long time.

Again, it's very straight forward to build a kit that is quick and easy to totally remove for street use and put on just as fast at the track. Really not a big hassle at all. You need a little extra flexible hose, some addtional fittings and little brass plugs.

So the only reason I can think of really for wanting the kit in all the time is because you want 'fast and furious' street cred. It's got Naaawwwzzz penis extension.

WHY is it hard to believe ??? Inspector seen no reason why it was a problem as NO bottle in the car .. connected to SFA ...

Red stickers went out the window years ago .. expired yellows

why? It's illegal. And to my mind having a bunch of plumbing including a pressurised fuel line and high amperage solenoids installed makes for a non-pass or at least a request for an engineers cert and corresponding permit.

the burden of proof is with you to prove legal compliance at the end of the day. Bulldust has a low success rate at getting you out of crap when you are pulled over on this issue.

My appologies for reffering to a yellow with zero time as a red, it's an old habit. I've had plenty of both of those in my time.

I've tried to point out how easy it is to bolt in and out a basic single fogger so you don't get busted.

Just trying to avoid issues for people and pass on my actual experience with nitrous. :blink:

People will always try n argue the fact " it was passed with that " , im not doubting the cops would nail your ass for it .. The systems not 100% as inspectors have a different view on things ... Nothing will change and things will pass through the system

My NOS kit been used in a few cars now n results are good , but you need to be on ya game or it goes BANG .. ask Mr Mayhem about that :blink: i still have the bent bonnet here as a reminder LOL

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
