Default Fuel Cleaner in tank with nitrous issues?

I have 60k on my 03Z and have never ran any sort of injection/intake gas additive cleaner. I wanted to get something but was curious if it could or would effect Nitrous use.

If i add some to a tank of premium fuel should i wait to spray or is there no issues there?

Any thoughts or experience with this?

Not really sure about the nitrous use but I would assume that everything would be fine. Some of the octane boosters will actually clean the fuel system while claiming to increase the octane.

Personally, I use the Lucas fuel system additive every other oil change. It also "lubricates the upper cylinders." I would contact someone at Lucas with this question and see what they have to say. Or just add the stuff to your fuel and don't spray until you run the tank down to empty and fill it back up.

I just use seafoam whenever I want to clean stuff out and I just wouldn't spray for that tank *just in case*.

why would there be a problem? im not following. even if the octane rating was raised a bit, although it would be by a minimum amount, higher octane actually makes nitrous safer

I've been using octane booster whenever I do spray. However, I did read posts saying that fuel injection cleaners may damage injectors in alot of the nissans.

well, if thats the case, then it has nothing to do with nitrous, it is just bad altogether and shouldnt even be a question
