I think about spraying all the time Do you have NOS on your Z yet? If so I would love to come check out your ride sometime. I live at the beach, and need some temporary relief from my Z withdrawls.
Later,
Tony

I live in the Haygood area (slightly north of pembroke) I moved here in November, and haven't met any Z people yet I was planning on buying a db enthusiast (that would definately have NOS) this summer, but plans may be screwed, because of problems with my job (They want me to work at least 12 hours 5 days a week and then 3 hours+ on my "days off".) Funny thing is when they hired me I told them I wanted to make enough to pay for going to college part time while I work. Well I make enough, but I guess in order to go to school, I'll just have to cut out frivolous things like sleeping. Sorry I really needed to vent that, not that it has anything to do with the subject, except that I am Zless indefinately now. Know anybody hireing for a store manager/assistant manager position?

Yeah, i am looking to spray with a small DRY kit. I don't want to have to plumb all the gas lines. I was thinking a 50 shot DRY into the intake should do some good. Does anyone know of any kits that are DRY kits? The ZEX kit is a wet kit. What about just getting a regualr NOS dry kit and putting it on the G35? I think that should work fine? WHy are there no dry kits out there???

Zex all the way.

Upping the jets to 75HP and pulling out the brake fuse on my nexts runs (also adding bottle heater to be here tomorow from ZEX.)

New numbers this Wednesday! 3 More days!

It disables the power drop that occurs when you press the brake pedal, allowing you to power-brake or do burnouts.

when you guys use the term NOS, are you referring to a company (Holly) or the loosely used term of nitrous (that's used POORLY in Fast and the Furious...) ? I was just wondering and I'm not trying to be one of those **** people who think that nitrous should be called nitrous instead of NOS. NOS is just shorter to type.

Maxhax, are your ET's in your signature with a 50 or 75 shot? I was assuming 50 since it sounds like you are now going to a 75 shot.

What brand of Nitrous did you go with? I assume it had to be a wet kit since everything I've read on nitrous lately has said almost all newer cars cannot except dry kits.

Hmmm, removing the brake fuse. I have the G35 sedan and think I may try that as well. What are the downsides of removing that fuse?

The 13.4 was consistent with 65HP jets I haven't run 75HP jets yet at the track, I am going higher and skipping 75, I ran a bottle testing the 75 and it was sweet.

It's ZEX,

As for the brake fuse the only draw back is no brake lights at the track

i'll probly end up sprayin. i wanna do a 100 shot. i'm a little uncertain if the intake manifold can handle distribution from a single fogger though. if it can, and zex is puttin 100 to the wheels, i'll probly put a purple box in there.

HI guys. Although I dont have my Z yet (leaning more and more into getting the 04 model), I put NOS in my VQ30 Maxima and I MIGHT put nitrous oxide into the Z too.
Just wanted to let you know that if you are planning on equipping your Z with nitrous oxide, that additional following items are absolutely necessary also, IMO.

bottle heater, fuel pressure gauge, RPM switch and aftermarket fuel pump and/or AFC. These stuff will add another 400-600 dollars to the overall cost of "NOS'ing" your car, so just you might want to keep this in mind before getting the nitroux oxide kit.

You can do about 7 good highway or track runs with a full bottle, and without a bottle heater, performance drops very rapidly after the first 3 runs.. And in the summer time with a full bottle, you'll be getting about 1150-1200 PSI, which is slightly too much and in which case you might want to bump up the fuel with an AFC or something since you dont wanna run too lean. I ran like this in my maxima but only because it was a maxima. haha. If I had a Z, I wouldnt take a chance. I'd get proper gears and run it properly.. but to do that it starts getting expensive. I think it'll be better just to save up 5000 bucks and get the turbo kit or a S/C kit ( when available).

This is just my personal opinion and I'm not trying to sound like an expert ! lol. There are former/current maxima owners on this board who are also NOS experts so I need to make this disclaimer.
