Lots of opinions on Nitrous here, thats good.

The facts about nitrous oxide are covered on the Ozrace website on the FAQ link, have a read.

http://www.ozrace.com/ozrace.html

The use of Nitrous oxide on the road is deemed illegal due to the fact that you will obviously be speeding when it is used.

The states where nitrous installation is legal require an issolation switch to be installed (most kits have one anyway).

As for nitrous being the last mod on your list:

Horses for courses, the small nitrous kits are the best value performance booster for the strip on a mild skyline. Using it on the street? well, using the full boost of a bad ass turbo is going to be illegal too.

mrhyundai:

Give Chriss Mills a call mate, they do nitrous installs in their sleep.

You don't 'need' a front mount intercooler or an S-afc or even big ass tyres to get a 13.8 or even slightly better. I plan on not having these things and hopefully getting a flat 13 (thats without any nitrous and regular fuel).

This is true.

There is no better bang for your buck than a Nitrous installation. $1500 and you're ready to roll, with upto 100hp @ wheels extra power... Amazing stuff.

The reason I said it should be one of your last modifications is because the standard R33 GTS-t (the car in question), is actually quite a slow beast. I would much rather increase the power of the car to a stage where I would be happy with the car's performance that I could use everyday (maybe 250rwkw?), and *THEN* look to measures to drop those 1/4 mile times.

But hey, if 1/4 mile times are more important than how much useable power you have on the street is, then for sure, hand over $1500 and you'll have a monster

Merli,

I think we agree.

mrhyundi want's to go the low 13's as a goal if I hear him right. If he gets a front mount he's going to spend as much as a NOS kit and still not be much closer. If he gets a Nitrous kit theres no reason he can't add a bigger turbo later, along with all the other stuff you have to buy ( injectors, fuel pump, aftermarket ecu, reg, etc). In the mean time he will have a nitrous equiped car that does 12's to have fun with, until he has enough money to get the rest.

[Merli]

Yup... and you have bragging rights to say you have a 12 second car

[giz01]

nitrous is also very very cold so it works like an intercooler as well! Theres a dude with a yellow s15 XSPSI with i think a 70 shot of gas & best pass is 11.9@118mph? 302rwhp, think he said uses only 10psi for this when without gas was using 18psi for 12's i think!

Wont NOS shots ruin your engine ? you cant just stick it on a stock engine

[Gradenko]

Shrub32, anything that increases volumetric efficiency is going to wear engine. Exhaust mods, installing a bigger turbo and nitrous are all just a means to the same end. Theres nothing inherently dangerous about using NO2 in engines (apart from the exploding bottle thing), any mod that requires more fuel and isn't tuned properly will 'ruin' an engine.

Yes, you can stick it on a stock engine and live happily ever after. Like GTS-t VSPEC said, horsepower limits of mechanical components still spply, so no going crazy (150hp+ shots) on stock internals.

hmm, as for NOS......

If you had your first $1500 to spend on your car, and you wanted to boost the performance - Wouldn't you rather spend it on something you can enjoy while driving the car daily, than something you can only use whilst giving it a run down the qtr mile?

I think Merli/rev210 pretty much summed it up though.....

I think that's really a personal preference as discussed earlier

Much like to put stickers on the car or not...personal preference. :uh-huh:

[chaos]

what about ABGAS??

i read about it some where, it goes into your fuel tank and it gives you a boost without pushing a button???. heard it was safer than NOS. and also what about cleaning the engine after a couple of shots of NOS??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

ABGAS?? or AVGAS, which is an aviation fuel, higher octane and gives you a fare whack of extra power, need to retune the car for it though.

See'ya:burnout:

[Red Reaper]

I see people saying that NOS will add more power than a turbo, but i would like to point out that NOS is a CONSUMABLE, so it cost u more money in the long run where as a turbo is a done deal no more cash output :Bang: so i think that ruins that idea

[benm]

I like the idea of NOS. I'd like to have a quick car for the track but something that is not -as- quick for street use (temptation on the street to wind up the boost on a big turbo is quite high for me).

The www.ozrace.com FAQ page is a good read.

[R33_KRAZY]

hey,

does ne1 know wat it cost 2 get a 10lb bottle of nos refilled..???????

[Ben31]

Hey guys,

have a squiz at www.horsepowerinabox.com

last time i checked they were waaay cheaper than everyone else.

I work for Holley/NOS Australia, but unfortunately cant sell retail to anyone, but can suss out group buys..

but horsepowerinabox have N05130 EFI 4-6CYL universal wet kits, good for 35-75 hp for $950!

i shit u not, it gets rid of lag alltogether, and is a piece of piss to install, i have a couple of kits, generally put them on car to car for a day or so for fun..

A mates r33 with s5 hi flo, t0f vtrim comp wheel etc etc LOVED it..

cooles intake temps down too.

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category6_1.htm

- list price is 990, but its sposed to be 950!

Let me know if i can help with anything NOS orientated, cant sell retail but can give advice etc

cheers

Ben
