Default NOS Installed. Amazing.

NOS 50 shot. Absolutely silly. Incredible power. Enjoy the pics.




And here some custom grilling we did to replace the amber corners.


The car, tinted everything, black grilled corners. Bad ***, NOS on the prowl!

It's adjustable. from 50 - 150. I'm starting off light. The kit with the bottle warmer was about a G. It has an arming switch to activate the system and a WOT switch mounted at the pedal. I'll use it whenever I can get traction. First is unthinkable unless i'm running drag radials. The ground has been a little damp so I haven't been able to really lay into. But I can tell you with slightly damp (not rain) ground in fourth gear at 50mph, I hit it and the rear came out nicely.

Take it to the strip. I am curious to see what kind of ETs you are looking at with that setup.

Default I am thinking about NOS also..

With all the turbocharger talk, I think if you play it right, NOS can be very safe and won't cost you an arm & leg to have the most hp.

I am thinking about ZEX kit, maybe 70-80shots, and then uses two bottles, right behind the seats.. it would look awasome!

My buddy with an M Roadster and I were doing some runs. He has exhaust, headers, and race cats. Basically it was like this. We did rolling runs in 2nd gear. we were pretty even in second until the top of the gear where he pulled ahead while i was shifting. the M has a very tall 2nd gear. then once i was in third and he shifting i caught him and was on pace to put some distance on. It was very close and would an interesting race from the start. Bear in mind that those cars run 13.1 from the factory and this was not a stock M.

my goal is the GReddy twin-turbo or NISMO/Garrett turbo (depending on the numbers) with either a NX Stage One or, if the turbo can't handle NOS, i will get their "N-tercooler," which from what i have heard, can up HP ~50.

good times, good times...

Thumbs up Right On!

So I am not the only one who is out of his mind!!

I am having a 75 HP Single Wet Jet installed. It's the Zex kit and it is designed for my car (just came out) I will have a pressure guage off the bottle too.

They are going to hide the jet though (underneath the tube on my CAI) and hide the bottle in the trunk.

I will have 3 switches, ARM, Bottle Opener, and Purge.
They are going in the ashtray.

My car already runs like a scalded dog so this should be interested. I plan on smoking some cars around here who are hating on the Z, calling it "rice" overpriced etc, revving on me everyday. I just smile, knowing what's coming. I am having plugs done too, did you change your plugs?


Sleeper while they rev on me again, then I will purge (hsssss) and be gone. Mine will be set up for WOT only so it should be easy to handle. Probably launch in 2nd, I have Nitto's.

Nothing but tail lights.

Mine will be done Wednesday afternoon.

To add to this conversation...... yes it is very much in your favor to run cooler plugs. I suggest asking the Maxima guys what they run. This is assuming our plugs are compatible (which im 99.999% sure they are).

Also, where did you tap into the fuel rail....... can you shoot a picture of that? My last kit was a venom so there was no tapping of the fuel, just the injectors.

If you want to run bigger (which you WILL) then what upgraded HP fuel pumps are available for us? After that, the next step is running a SAFC. Been there, done this, its worth it in the end.

YOU WILL GET THE ITCH FOR MORE JUICE!!!

Default My plugs will be 2 degrees colder

ZEX Plugs

Triple ground electrode for more efficient combustion
Excellent heat dissipation for improve nitrous and turbo performance
Pre-gapped for performance applications
Super Range nickel ground electrode with copper core center
Specifically designed and developed for nitrous and turbo application

They make a 100HP Jet but it's a special order item, or you can use the NX 100HP Jet. I will be fine at 75 for awhile I raced regualrly with a 125HP NOS 5177 Dry Kit.

I already did intake and exhaust, plugs are a must though with N2o

As for fuel pumps I would highly consider this;

"Booster"

Then there is this,

Maximizer

It's never ending and addicting lol.

I have planned for a totally stealth system. boost gauges in the ashtray and the swtiches underneath my seat.


here's kind of a stupid question for the N20 experts...

Can i have 2 bottles running into one wet injector, where i can have only one bottle armed at a time? (i want 2 bottles for uniformity and so that i can go twice as long without refills)

Hmm thats sorta silly but yes you COULD do it. Run the two bottles into a "Y" in the system. Then run it from there to the nozzle. It takes a while to burn up a bottle and they weight quite a bit. I dont think 2 would be worth your while.

Regarding the fuel, I bought a spare fuel line and dampener. The fuel line was tapped at the bottom of the car where the last leg of the line attaches, straight up to a gauge, one run to the stock fuel dampener, the other run behind the motor to nitrous seloniod. sorry no pic of that. Cooler plugs are on their way. Gonna go denso irridium.

My switches are in the nav console. I will be employing the services of a friend who works for hasbro toy company, to make me a panel for the console to fit the gauges and switches.

For you serious nitrous Z guys, I'll chat with you offline about the ideas I have for bottle mounting. Let me just say that after taking things apart, this car is a drug smuggler's dream come true!
