i see what your saying and appreciate it but this car is driven ussually once or twice a month. i am not sure that i will be driving around two much with the bottles attached only on drag days.

and the errection problem i will let you no if it happens ha ha jokes...

i am building this thing up for drag racing and it should be finished this week i will put new pics up then.....

Campbell....seriously mate.....take his advice - KEEP YOUR MOUTH AWAY FROM THE NITROUS INJECTORS WHILE YOU ARE GOING 150MPH BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE ERECTION PROBLEMS.

I think yunnowho up there lives inside a bubble....lol.

No one wants to see you dead 'if', knock on wood, you ever need the roll cage. Because the way you have set everthing up is dodgy and you may as well rip the cage and the harness out for all the good it's not going to do you in a crash.

3lit3 32,

The gas is known to sometimes leak out of the thread on the bottle. Even when you have checked it and properly thread taped it. You don't want to have taken a few lung fulls of gas before rampaging off down the track at 150mph it's not good for thinking straight if something should happen, thats racing. It's an anesthetic and thats why the manufacturers of every kit say put it in the boot with outside ventilation. You also don't want nitrous or fuel lines running inside the cabin for obvious reasons. If the reasons aren't obvious to you ask a manufacturer of the kits any one of them will tell you the same thing.

I really think you should have some type of neon lighting on each bottle.

Are you sure that the bottles weren't leaking a little when you decided to mount them there?

Honestly, stick them in the boot and mount the harnesses properly, visual appeal kind of goes out the window if you have an accident and end up hanging out the front window with a nitrous bottle lodged in the back of your head.

my harness goes to the parcel shelf the passanger side goes to the top of the cage for some reason the six poing saas harneses arnt made long enough i am getting somthing made or if anyone else has any sugestions... lets not all look at the harnesses and that will make everything ok..i have put saftey first i have a blitz fire ext...when the car is finished the we can all find the faults but untill then lets go with it,,,,,i think i have enough nos to blow myself up period.....lol

You won't be doing any racing if I am scrutineering, it'll be "pack you bags and don't come back until you have fixed it".

:P cheers :D

yes...scrutineering...harnesses are a big thing, if they arent at the right angle, they dont do the right job as SK said already. Dates too. Cant be out of date! If its for drag racing, im assuming andra have a rules and regs book like the fat cams one we all have that you would have followed when building certain aspects of the car for drag racing. Safety is always big in motorsport, just like in WH&S. Lets just hope it doesnt slow down our cars and turn us into unionised bludgers! :(

well i understand the rules as i said the drivers harnesses go to safety points on the rear parcel shelf and the passengers arnt long enough i am waiting to modify them not sure how as the shoulder straps dont even reach the floor behind its weard any way if the drivers side belt is connected properly wich it is then they cant stop me from racing as they havent before....

i posted this thread to get th0oughts about my nitrous set up i do realise i have to change the passenger side belt from on top of the cage i dont need 10 people telling me what i already no.

the reason the belt is not long enough is that the one you have bought is not designed for a sedan. it has the straps for either an open wheeler, or a roadster (like and MX5 or clubman etc). they bolt the shoulder straps right behind the drivers shoulders. I'm not sure that there is any way you can legally modify it, i would just try and sell it and buy the correct belt. :P

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
