One thing to keep in mind about nitrous...
I used to run a 100shot on a Blazer 4.3L V6...

There is something very important for nitrous kits....
Jets are drilled for a sepecific bottle pressure! For example, the Jets in the NX kit are calibrated for a bottle pressure of 1000 to 1050psi. A tank of Nitrous at 70 degrees is only 745psi. With this difference in pressure, you will for certain run rich and not produce the advertised power for a certain jet.... I think some kits might be jetted for 800psi which would be a lot better... but, if your car is in the sun, in the summer, and your bottle pressure is 1000psi, now you'd run lean with these jets!

that won't do anything. you have to take out the front SWAY bar. the one underneath.

In reading that TNT website, they dont give you much information about their "gas blaster" nozzel. To me it sounds exactly like an NX nozzel. I used a zex kit on my civic and had all kinds of headaches with that stupid box. The computer chip always forgot my tps voltage and i would have to retrain it frequently. When I go n2o on the z it will be NX. They do strictly n2o and their kits are top notch.

my 2 cents

Mjedens:
Thanks for the info I just ask you about the jet sizes because Zex is giving underated jet sizes!!!


BTW I say that 73/40 is a 240 shot... one of the members here provide one good method to know this!
here is the website: (remember that the 350Z have 51-52 fuel pressure)

oh well. so much for that. it already take my 1-2 hours to prep my car for the track, and another 1-2 hours to undo it all.

im not that desperate for a better track time. actually...if i get a 12.01 then we'll have to bring this up again. but until then...im ok.

You're right, it isn't worth it unless you leave it off.

Default Sway Bars

Should take less than 5 min. if your car is already on a rack! Disconnect the lower bolt, raise the arm up and tie it off. (both sides of course)
