My skyline has a gt3540rbb, injectors, plenum, power fc etc its kinda laggy in the lower revs so i was thinkin to install a wet nitros kit so it will pic up quicker on the lower revs and i just want to know if it would it be a good idea, has anyone tried it? anyway let me know wat you guys think.

definately. whether or not ur internals are standard just use a 50 shot. it will get the boost up nice and quick. use the nitrous for this reason not so much a hp gainer.

but i dont think he would drive around with the bottle in the car unless he was goin to the track.

:huh:

think and know are two different things... lots of ppl have seen his car with 2 huge bottles on teh street

Its not street legal.

Like other people, I'm wondering about x_pac's application. Nitrous doesn't last too long, so you either need big bottles or to use it sparingly.

If your car only lives life a quarter mile at a time its not an issue, but if you're planning on using N2O every time you take off from a set of lights its not the best option.

yea the plan is to just use it for 1/4mile not of every single traffic light. does anyone know how many 1/4 miles a 50 shot nos tank can do?

sigh...

how big of a bottle?

i mean, how long is a piece of string

What do u think? A street is designed for cars to get from A to B not designed to fly from A to B.

If that is the case, then we have no need for 300+rwkw cars either, but they are still legal.

Ahh well, least this is the first time someone on SAU has attempted to patronise me.

Just because a car has more power than it needs to get up to the speed limit, doesn't mean that the owners have to drive it like they stole it.

There are plenty of high powered cars on the road, most of which are driven sensibly.

Something as unpredictable as N2O isn't safe/suitable for road use in any situation.

While I dont see the need to use Nitrous on the street, the above statement is completely untrue. Nitrous is neither unsafe nor unpredictable. It is however, illegal to use on public streets.

If it was safe, there would be no reason for it to be illegal.

If someone is too tight/stupid to take it to a track, where else are they going to play with it?

I know I certainly don't want to have some idiot playing with nitrous while they're driving next to me.

...especially if it's the first time they've played with it, simply because they won't know what to expect from it.

I don't for an instant believe that anyone who is silly enough to use it on the street would have the ability to do so in a 'safe' manner.

Add into the equation fun things like nitrous backfires, DIY installations, and who could forget the genius who connected his bottle heater to a constant 12v and went off and forgot about it? Not much different to leaving a car sitting in the hot Australian sun.

Anyhoo, with the mods listed above, I didn't see x_pac28 mention which fuel pump was being used?

Formula to figure out usage:

0.8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100HP

eg: If the system is jetted for 100HP it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.

...and a reminder of why this is not a toy. :P

You will get 8 0r 9 passes on a fifty with a 10lb bottle. you pay about $110 a fill.. bit expensive to go blasting around on the street with. but will definately give you the midrange you are after. have a customer car similar to yours, ran 11.75 @121mph on 21psi. Put 75 bottle on it and it ran 11.66 @123mph on 15psi with 4 deg total timing out.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
