Default NOS Fogger/Sapphire jets with zex kit?

I am in the process of planning a nitrous system for my g35c, i have a few mods already, and have been reading about others kits for a while now...
I like the zex kit because it monitors the throttle position, fuel, and nitrous pressures. and i can remove its traces easier for dealer work... yeah i know ... but i don't really like their other equipment. I would like to go with:
NOS 10lb bottle/heater/remote opener
NOS Fogger/Sapphire jets
Dynotune gauges/nitrous purge
iridium 1 colder plugs
and the other little things like window switch, fuel line adapter, etc.

Could i buy just zex's nmu (nitrous management unit)
and hook up the rest with other parts....

What are your thoughts on combining these things....

Thanks a lot!
-Eric

You would need a -6AN to 4-AN Adapter for your bottle that's 9 bucks at Summit no biggie.

The only problem I see at first glance is the jets.

NOS jets can only be used on NOS kits. NOS makes the best jets and seem to be available everywhere I fo. First I heard of the "Sapphire jets" so maybe you can teach us something. But yeah the bottle, opener etc all that will work. I bought a 10 lb bottle for my ZEX kit because it was blue as was my car scheme and NOS uses 6an so Summit sent me an adapter. You know the bottle is like 200 bucks right? OUCH!

Sapphire jets have been developed by NOS for those who require the most precise jetting available. They are manufactured by pressing a sapphire jewel into the jet body and then utilizing laser technology to "drill" an orifice to the exact specified jet diameter. NOS sapphire jets can be used for low fuel pressure and nitrous jetting, as well as a close tolerance jet for high fuel pressure tuning.

These are only a few extra bucks a piece but are a very very high quality, and have unrivelled precision. I think it is a few bucks well spent!

but if i am using a nos fogger wouldn't the jets fit inside, and all that i would have to do is hook the lines from the zex unit into the fogger?

or is their a difference in the solenoids that causes the incompatibility.
I am a little weary about the zex, i don't want a solenoid to fail, i am looking for a safe reliable system.
Any other suggestions for carrying out this combo?

I'm not sure, but that is definately a NOS shaped jet that wouldn't fit in a ZEX or NX kit. Why not just go all NOS their kits are solid?

You still need the bottle adapter regardless though.

I think he wants bascially an all NOS system but with the ZEX control unit to monitor his TPS, Nitours pres. and Fuel Pres. - Just what i understand from all of this

Default NOS Splitter

A NOS Splitter ($7) allows you to use NOS pills on a ZEX line. I've used it for six months!!
