Nitrous Oxide Systems

[lunjiaow]

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

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?

Get cosy with your local dentist for nitrous refills

rev210, I was under the impression nitrous setups were legal, as long as the nitrous bottle wasn't connected?

[Dsturbd]

I got 2 different answers from 2 seperate DPI inspection stations in bunno , 1 says yes aslong as bottle not in car n other said no solenoids or lines ..

[rev210]

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.

The dudes at the pits must have mistaken it for those tubed subwoofers LOL!..

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.

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 i still have the bent bonnet here as a reminder LOL

[N I B]

Ive been let off with the hose disconnected but its all down to luck as to the type off person you get.
