is NOS ok for the engine though after sustained periods?

like short shots here and there are probably fine, but i've heard it kills the engine after a while unless the engine has been specifically built for it..

true or false?

its like winding up the boost gordo, the harder an engine works quicker it wares out obviously, same with nos, nos seems to have a really bad stigma asociated with it, but yeah its not that bad when used in correct proportions.

ok, i think i read (could have just been an uninformed post) that its the chemical composition that eats away the piston rings or vavles or something.. but that could be just myth. just curious..

depends how its tuned too i suppoose

yeah james, thats it really, yeah its the ones that were on the counter. No N2O is its inert (sp) doesnt eat nething, Nitrogen not sure ill find out (looks for last years chemistry books), oxygen, well that one definately doesnt eat nething.

there was a thread on boostcruising (of all places) and some people were discussing why not use pure oxygen instead of nitrous

but i think it was concluded that the oxygen plus the nitrogen's cooling properties and the fact that nitrogen carrys oxygen as well meant that nitrous was better than pure oxygen

and theres a bogan in a v8 strappin it up my road

yer..probably a myth.. its probably just detonation caused by poor tune that causes probs, then they blame the nos for destroying their engine.

ben: good luck with the loans, but remember, every loan you apply for goes on your credit record. Basically other banks in a way use this to assess the loan application. So the more loan applications you are refused, the less likely you will get one.

A loan of $12k is also a lot for a young-ish guy with no previous credit history, and you would definitely need a fulltime job and around 3 months of being there. Just wait, you will get it..

There was a lot of waiting before i got my r33..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
