That's the sex right there! I'm still trying to think of where I want to purge from. My front runner idea is running two lines to the corner on the bumper, i took out the amber and put grills there.

I got another idea too. I'm going to make a half inch LED and put a transparent NOS sticker on it. I'm going to mount it somewhere nicely on the dash. I'm going to wire is from the arming switch to the pedal switch so when the system is armed and the switched is clicked i'll have a "nitrous active" light.

Nice purge. How is the Z holding up to nitirous? I've heard that the Z's engine isn't that sturdy. Any info would be great.

I read it elsewhere on this forum. I was just hoping that someone would tell me that that's not true. I'm really debating on getting nitrous, so I'm trying to cover all the bases.

My Z is doing alright..Nothing wrong with having it. I guess the rule is dont abuse it. I would stay with a 50-75 shot..I think our cars can handle that.

Cool, that kinda puts me at ease.
BTW: I don't quite remember if you were the same guy that e-mailed me the nitrous setup pics, if you are then forgive me ahead of time. My question to you is what kind of setup are you running, NOS, Zex, NX, etc? Stay safe and straight!

The VQ motor is plenty strong. To date I've never heard of ANY VQ
"popping" due to excess hp. Now detonation is a whole other story, but that will destroy any motor.

There are VQs out there in Maximas boosted well past 10psi on the stock motor. Some have even made north of 400whp.
