How long (not how often) can you run NOS before the engine suffers?

[Guest Robo's]

benm - fair enough, but where do you draw the line? if you just want to go to the strip and run as quick as you can, why not buy a cheaper, lighter car, stick a more powerful engine in it, strip it, put it on slicks and keep it strictly for the strip?

in otherwords, where do you draw the line?

Well if you after time slips, then do it. For me i like to know what i do , every day of the week, not 1% of the time.

Is this to say the engine does not suffer at the drags without NOS...:headspin:

I draw the line with the fact that I love skylines

I used to be like that too but too many cops up here to worry about anything on the street. The more you have available the more likely you are to use it and unfortunately I can't do anything silly for the next 2.5yrs so for me personally it is all about the track (drags/circuit).

I find circuit more fun but drags more challenging.

this is also how i feel....

i think there are 2 seperate groups...

1 group who goes to the strip to see what time they can run

1 group who goes to the strip to see how fast they can go

[benm]

.. and I think after a very short period of time the "what time they can run" group turn into the "how fast they can go" group

Mine doesn't "suffer" as much racing, as it does in ciyt traffic driving to work:wassup:

How long is a piece of string? What a silly question.

Not this little black duck!

[ferni]

benm - i'd probably agree with you there as well = addiction

but for now i'm still on the "what time they can run"

[2rismo]

Trying to run quicker than 13.0 is cheating.

Im a cheat

I use a NISMO key

Cheaterers will all blow there own horn saying but how is it different from this and that but at the end of the day they have ran a quick time which if we leave the street aspect/side of things out of the converstaion is all that matters, it doesn't mean there car is a xx sec street car they know it and so does everyone else that knows they are using 2 power adders 1 of them being illegel on the street

It all comes down to if your a drag racer and want quick times no holds bared or if your the every day Joe blow who wants to see what there car can run in street trim, neither way is wrong or right they are just different

i could watch two ride ons drag race if they were quick enough.....especially if they were on the bottle

So using NOS is the equivalent to city driving :idea:

then there should be no problem using it on the track as one cancels out the other

Stace you want to race my mower now???

there are rules for the road and rules for the class you race in .it does not get any more complicated than that.if you want to drive a illegal car on the raod then go right ahead,thats what the police are there for ,not opininated dcikheads on forums.the same goes with the track if you want to compete in a class of racing you do so via the rules ,thats andras role to police.if the rules state two power adders then use them or fall behind or shut up whinging.if you want the rules changed then jason ohalloran is the man to voice your opinions to

I go there to beat my pb every single run. Out of around 30 runs i've only beaten my pb 2x (by about 0.0x sec) and the others have all been within 0.2sec or just complete flops (0.5-1.0sec). I could prolly find about 5 excuses as to why im not getting quicker and quicker but im sick of excuses.

Due to work im not sure when i'll be able to get back to the strip, hopefully i'll have the car (engine) tidied up a little bit more so that it is running consistent enough for me to lay some decent times. My goal is still a 12.99sec or better by 30/12/04 which will either take money and/or just more experience/practice.
