![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I just wanted to know if I used the 50 shot maybe 3-4 times a month, would it create any serious problems for my car? In the long run, lets say 2-3 years down the line, would my engine show incredible signs of wear? I would really like to jump onto the NOS bandwagon but I am just looking for a cheaper yet safe alternative to turbo'ing my car.

Yeah bro technically you can do anything from somewhere around 10 all the way up above 350.... you just have to get the right combo jets for fuel and nitrous...

Max.. What do you feel about the long run with using Nitrous? After a year or to I dont want my motor to start getting week. Or having any problems. But wouldnt it be less stress then Fi as it is not on all the time.. Well as long as you have proper A/F ratios and the right plugs I personally dont see how it could hurt. I dont plan on going any higher then 100 shot.. What are your thoughts on this?

Are Zex's shots accurate for the Z. What I mean is will the 75 shot run the car lean? Would it be best to start off with maybe the 75 shot fuel/65 shot nitrous jets first just to be safe?

What gear did you run that dyno in? And did you start spraying in the gear before? I need to get my dyno done. Just trying to get some specifics.

Also, I just installed a AEM wideband UEGO gauge, and I am running mid 13's till about 6,000 RPM where I am in the mid 12's under WOT. Would mid 13's be considered lean under WOT. I have the Nismo Headers, Injen exhaust, crawford plenum and cats.

You can start a lot lower safely than 3200. I used to have Nitrous on my old Maxima and I had my window switch set to start the spray @ 2500rpms.
For all the guys that are worried about motor wear....don't be. As long as you have the kit TUNED a little rich you will be fine for a VERY long time. I used to have a 100 shot on my maxima and did an oil analysis to measure engine wear before and after the nitrous. I went through about TWENTY bottle of juice in three to four months and did an oil analysis at the end (5000 miles) and the motor show nearly no increased wear from the nitrous use.
excessive engine wear is a thing of the past from mileage, nitrous, and FI with jap motors at least. My buddy is currenty doing a turbo kit on his Maxima with 150,000 miles on the motor...and the motor in it's current N/A state is one of the strongest VQ30DE motors around. I wouldn't be surprised to see factory etching still in the cylinder walls if we pulled his motor apart. These things are built that well.

I'm spraying 110 (RWHP) shot at least 6 times a week (Street Racing or Track) for a few month now... and everything is good!
