Default Zex Nitrous kit for DE comes complete?

To those running the Zex nitrous kits for the DE Zs, is this kit really complete? I am not in the states so I don't have much access to autoparts stores to get fittings and hardware that I might need. If there was something you had to run to the store to get, what was it? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Another item to get is a Window switch! It only allows you to spray from certain rpms(above 3K under redline by 300 rpm) so you dont blow your motor up.

Ok, thanks for the advice fellas. Other than filling the bottle and the window switch, anything else you ended up getting to complete your nitrous setup? No little bs parts to get to hook up the kit?

I'm still waiting for my kit to get here so I can't say. But I'm sure if you have basic tools you should be fine!


I would recommend getting a bottle heater though!
Also if you arent planning on getting a tune you should at least get a Wideband sensor!

Cool, let me know if you needed anything when you get yours. I am planning on getting a heater, pressure gauge, remote switch, and maybe the purge kit for fun. Already got the wideband. Thinking about getting one for the other side too. Good luck with the install when you get yours. And let me know what happens if you don't mind. Thanks.

You need the proper tools for install and hook up. Do you have all the necessary tools? There are other things to consider, not just the wrenches and drills and whatever metal tools you're thinking, such as:
-Teflon paste (to apply between the male and female nitrous/fuel lines) AND/OR teflon tape (if there's a leak and teflon paste does not work).
-Soldering iron and accessories (for a proper wire connection and sealing the connection) OR if they provide wire connectors you'd need a crimper
-Wire tap splices (to tap for TB voltage signal and/or RPM voltage signal)
-Wire looms (for a cleaner/neater look after the install)

There may be more, depending on what accessories you get for your nitrous kit. Just try to imagine how you'd connect/install every little piece you'll be getting with your kit and go from there.

Thanks for the input guys. The tools was something I was thinking might be a problem, but I think I may be ok. I had most of my tools shipped. I did have to order a crimper and some connectors. Sucks to have to have stuff shipped to your APO and it really sucks to have to wait a month because they didn't ship it Priority. Thanks for the help guys, this will help to make my install much easier when it happens.

Do you have a place close by to get the Nitrous filled?

I'm actually not sure where yet, but I think someplace on the base might have it. I mainly wanted to get the kit itself installed correctly first. I'm sure there has to be someplace to get some. I can wait to get it filled, but halfway installing the kit would drive me nuts.

Alright, I got some nitrous stuff ordered. I got the 350z nitrous kit from Zex, MSD digital window switch, Zex remote valve opener, Zex purge kit, Zex bottle warmer, and Autometer digital nitrous pressure gauge. Hoping to get to hook it all up while I'm home on R&R in about a week. Thanks for the help guys.

Got the stuff and have a question. Did you need to get an adapter to mount a electric nitrous pressure gauge?

I'm talking about the sender for the nitrous pressure gauge of course. Anyone?
