hahah thats funny as

!!

and its all ok guys i do know that it is to get the air out of the lines before using it :( and i always purge afterwards once i have turned the bottle off to make sure there is none left in the lines aswell :)

whered this idea come about its to get air out of the lines? someone care to explain how th air gets IN th lines to start with?

its from the bottle being open and letting the nitrous all the way up to the solenoid in the engine bay, which heats up heating the nitrous up turning it from a liquid to a gas, which isnt good, so you purge the gas off, no 'air' as such

how bout u dedicate the whole bottle of nos to just purging it.. is that possible,,, did any1 else notice that brian has some sort of spray in his intercooler....

i do admit that the 2f2f makes all the import ppl look like a pack of fulli sik muzzers

r31Nismoid i was beein sarcatic LMAO

yeh nitrous spray (possibly CO2) like i said earlier it can cause cold burns, guess why, its f*ckin cold, spray it over the cooler you'll get more power. you'll see alot of cars do it on the dyno

yeh, i did see one car that it looks cool on, was a late-ish Pontiac firebird i think, its got the nostrils in the bonnet like late model monaro's, guy had it in there spraying out, looks like a dragon with smoke coming out of its nostrils lol

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
