So, I have a RB26 powered by GTSS. I bought an AEM water-meth kit but seeing how cheap NOS kit go for, I was wondering if it would be safe to run both? Is there a risk of fire (explosion when mixed both) ? Is the NOS very hard to tune on the dyno?

Anyways, let's talk about it haha!

Id say one or the other... I'm not a fan of nos or power adders that regularly need to be topped up, so maybe I'm the wrong person to be giving advice.

NOS is heavily illegal on the street, but more to the point why do you need both? There's plenty of other ways to make power than using both at once.

First off WMI has its place but I realy don't like it... especially on a 26 as you won't get even distrobution with a single point kit.

Sell it.

Any advantages of cooling from WMI are negated with the use of N20. Nitrous oxide has fantastic cooling properties as it expands into the intake.

A correctly set up and installed nitrous kit isn't cheap... Think 2k all up. And don't even think about buying one of the cheap kits.... they only end in disaster.

By the way, nitrous is an inert gas.... it's not all fast and the furious- naaaaaawzzzz and it's gonna blow. It only serves as an oxidiser.

I'd suggest reading some of the info on http://forum.nitrous-advice.org/index.php

Cheers

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
