yeah it was nasty as to see it. it had just started to take off when i saw a huge thing of flames and heard the loud bang...i was standing right at the front of the gates where they switch the cars ova and also heard him/or someone else...? ask the guy if he wanted him to take the NOS tank out of the car. the guy in the orange top held up the piece of piping that had burst and the end looked like they and been blown apart

I bet the nos has backfired.

If you watch the video you can hear they slow it up and then give it the boot and if the nos was engaged when they did that then it would have filled the plenum and cylinders with gas.

Nitrous is a very funny thing and if you stuff up with it it can go very bad very quickly.

I will let Leewah explain exactly what happened, but

YES, it was a nos related incident

NO there was no engine damage

NO, no rods, pistons, or engine related parts were affected

Yes there is one less greddy intercooler pipe in the country :)

How do i know this, well i drove it afterwards....in NA mode :)

Please dont post things that you dont know as fact.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
