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

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
