i read about the main problem with nitrous isnt the hp hurting the engines. its the torque.
so i have a 100 wet on a wot switch right off the line. and then have the 25 dry on a button, that i engage in second gear. just playing it safe. but im still on stock timing. stock tune. just raised the rev limiter to 7200 but i have 1 step colder plugs. i may move it to a 125 wet +25 dry in the future. but its working great for now and i have the fastest nitrous time right now. and i just did a bunch of changes on the car. im hoping to hit 11.5x on a 125 this fall.

I used to run 150shot on my G35.
Dynotuned wet 150shot, step colder plugs, bolt ons, no tune stock timing.
Just a WOT switch, 1-2 gear no traction. Went through 10 bottles, than blew my diff out.
I did install a NX kit on a frineds 2011 maxima. 150 shot WOT switch, bottle heater.
Tourqe steer was retarded but it pulled like a beast. We did 5 pulls 40-120mph and the CVT transmissions blew....

I dont know if this will help you z guys but I sprayed my 2000 maxima with the VQ30DE for 3 years. I used he ZEX wet kit, bottle warmer and fuel cut off switch. I installed the kit at 60k and had 2 degrees pulled off the timing and went 1 stage colder on the plugs. I went through at least 45 bottles and ran into my first problem at 123k. You guys are going to wanna think about not squeezing the nitrous in first gear. The gear is so short and it made so much tq with the nitrous that I ended up wearing the teeth down on first gear. The car was making a wierd grinding/clicking noise. I only had to use first when I was on hills but over time it effected more in there and lead to a trans replacement. As far as engine wear, when I sold it at 127k I had really good compression and using a borescope everything insde the motor still looked great. I know for a fact the new owner is still useing it hard and the car is vary much alive.
