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..

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
