Yuh, but if you have to pay anything for it, you are being ripped off.

Both N2 and O2 are as near as damnit ideal gases. Together they make up more than 99% of typical air. The majority of the remainder is water vapour, which is less of an ideal gas. The difference in behaviour between air filled tyres and N2 filled tyres is really small. Justified in racing classes or in supercars perhaps, but hardly justified in normal cars - even super duper hot wheels brrrrm brrrm vrrmpsh like Skylines.

Nitrogen has a lower coefficient of expansion than air, so the pressure inside the tyre doesn't change as much as it heats and cools. SFA difference on the street. On the track i guess it means you can start cold with a little more pressure, so your cold tyres aren't as mushy as they come up to temp.

If you do put it in and you're somewhat disappointed at the result, try sitting on the ground with your legs either side of the tyre and push the valve right in: you might get a laugh out of it :)

lol wut?

Can't hurt, it just means you get less affected by changes in tire heat

not tru

during many race seasons i had a driver who insisted on nitrogen. so we abliged, the pressure change was markedly higher than air from a compressor.

the ONLY advantage is being able to have repeatable results. having the same air in the tyre each race. it alows for a quicker set up being able to predict a pressure for a given tyre temp. humidity is the factor with normal compressed air. since the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen anyway.

but the fact remains the pressure would raise more with n2.

if anyone has some hard data to sugest otherwise. ie: go out 30 psi with a ambiant tyre temp and come in with 30 psi with a 90 deg c tyre i will donate a leg..

n2 in a road car is the biggest WANK ever. and a complete waste of time. and the n2 has to be from a bottle. and to remove any moisture from the air in the tyre already is imposible. mayby if it was filled and deflated and vacumed 100 times you might get 100%n2 in there.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
