well finally got it but i was looking for some opinions on where you guys think i should mount the bottle


let me know



thank you

 

I put mine behind the passenger seat between the seat and the strut bar. I went to walmart after and bought a good size gym bag, cut the bottom out of the bag and wrapped it around the bottle.....instant sleeper. lol

Some ppl have been putting it in the passenger side compartment, in the spare tire area, or 2 5# bottles hidden elsewhere. Lots of options with this car. I bet you get buy 5 or 6 sneaky pete bottles and put them under the seat.

 

i put my 10lb bottle behind the passenger seat in the glove box. Its a ***** to mount, wire and remove but its so hidden its worth it.

Planning on mounting my other 10lb bottle behind the driver seat, removing the blose sub.

 

I make my wife hold the bottle on her lap in the passenger seat when we take my car....


Kidding of course- I mounted mine in the rear left corner (drivers side) right before the strut bar. It stays out of sight unless you really stretch to see inside the back window. Plus I wanted to have the bottle facing forward as much as possible without having to use all of my truck space. I initially really liked the passenger's seat glove box idea but like CUxtopher said -it is a complete pain to get it in and back out.

 

If you want to show it off you could hang it from under the rear strut bar but i would put it behind the bose sub... 4 screws and a wire connector and can anybody say stelth

 

my first thought was the idea of hanging it from the under side of the strut bar, but now im thinking about inside the glove box behind the seat.

if anyone has anymore ideas let me know

 

10lb bottle correct?? Depending how much you are going to use the tank remember you have to get it in and out with somewhat regularity. I like the stealth idea but once you set the tank in the glove box opening you will see how little space you are actually dealing with especially when you start adding remote openers, a bottle warmer and a safety blow down tube. What ever you decide, give it a test run and see what you think. I know some have also mounted it down in the spare tire storgage space. Not sure quite how.

 

I have my 10lb bottle where the bose sub would be...I fit a bottle opener, and heater on it, but couldn't quite get the blow down tube in...I'll take another try at that next time the bottle is out. There's actually a good amount of space back there, but I think the biggest pain was mounting the brackets - I have the bottle hanging up-side-down.

 

Truth is, if you are going to mount the bottle properly the front of the bottle should be pointing towards the front of the care and the back of the bottle towards the rear of the car. This will get you the most use out of a tank since the nitrous feed tube goes verticle to the bottom of the bottle.

Unfortunetly us Z's have a cardboard spare cover. For my car I got a peice of sheet metal and cut it out to replace the cardboard cover and that way it mounted securely... also the blow-down tube keeps the bottle snug in place since it pretty much touches the strut bar. PM me for pics.

 

I just got my 2 5lb bottles installed today. I have them painted color coded to the car and mounted in the trunk behind the sub and capaciter. I will post pics in the next day or two. Top Notch Performance in San Antonio did a fantastic job. Kudos to Mike and colt. I am also getting a Z emblem decal specially made for the bottles.....100 shot NX
