Default Nitrous Legal or Not

Whats up everyone. Im new to the nitrous systems and I was thinking about adding it to the Z once I get it. I really like the ZEX wet kit for the car. I was woundering if it was illegal to have nitrous oxide in your vechile in texas? Because I will have the bottle mounted inbetween the seats but behind it so i can just reach back to to the bottle on. Any help? Thanks alot.

im pretty sure its illegal. my freind has a 300zx and he has a 75 shot thats in, but the tubes arent connect, he says, incase he gets pulled over... but then again how would they know if you mixed nitrous in with you cars fuel for 100 octane... i always figured it was except for private shows and exibts off public roads...

nitrous IS NOT legal on the streets. it is only legal if the bottle is disconnected. i've also heard the bottle has to be out of plain view. at least this is how it is in NC.

Depends on your state, I would check online your states Vehilce laws. Some states don't have anything even on the books.. Others 'suggest' that you comply with the Federal Hazmat laws.

Good luck on your research

Nitrous isn't lillegal to possess in California but it's illegal to use on the street. It's an off road ONLY product Ie the track.

That is the California Law in a nutshell.

Otherwise we wouldn't have refill stations.

Does that mean we can go around with it connected? How can they prove whether or not we used it on the street?

They can't really, unless they see you purge... haha, but then would having a bottle of nitrous hooked only to a purge line be considered illegal.... hmmm all show, and no fun.

anyone know the FL law.... i think it is bottle has to be closed... but it might also be lines have to be disconected... i need to find out.

remote opener bzzzzt closed like they said don't purge kind of hard to enforce this one. How do they know you used it? They don't unless they smell it lol.

If they see it though it's mess with you find something illegal time because it's like a 4 letter word to them, they hate it. Most people are uneducated about N20 because of movies where cars blow up etc.
