Campbell....seriously mate.....take his advice - KEEP YOUR MOUTH AWAY FROM THE NITROUS INJECTORS WHILE YOU ARE GOING 150MPH BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE ERECTION PROBLEMS.

I think yunnowho up there lives inside a bubble....lol.

No one wants to see you dead 'if', knock on wood, you ever need the roll cage. Because the way you have set everthing up is dodgy and you may as well rip the cage and the harness out for all the good it's not going to do you in a crash.

3lit3 32,

The gas is known to sometimes leak out of the thread on the bottle. Even when you have checked it and properly thread taped it. You don't want to have taken a few lung fulls of gas before rampaging off down the track at 150mph it's not good for thinking straight if something should happen, thats racing. It's an anesthetic and thats why the manufacturers of every kit say put it in the boot with outside ventilation. You also don't want nitrous or fuel lines running inside the cabin for obvious reasons. If the reasons aren't obvious to you ask a manufacturer of the kits any one of them will tell you the same thing.

I really think you should have some type of neon lighting on each bottle.

Are you sure that the bottles weren't leaking a little when you decided to mount them there?

Honestly, stick them in the boot and mount the harnesses properly, visual appeal kind of goes out the window if you have an accident and end up hanging out the front window with a nitrous bottle lodged in the back of your head.

You won't be doing any racing if I am scrutineering, it'll be "pack you bags and don't come back until you have fixed it".

:P cheers :D

yes...scrutineering...harnesses are a big thing, if they arent at the right angle, they dont do the right job as SK said already. Dates too. Cant be out of date! If its for drag racing, im assuming andra have a rules and regs book like the fat cams one we all have that you would have followed when building certain aspects of the car for drag racing. Safety is always big in motorsport, just like in WH&S. Lets just hope it doesnt slow down our cars and turn us into unionised bludgers! :(

well i understand the rules as i said the drivers harnesses go to safety points on the rear parcel shelf and the passengers arnt long enough i am waiting to modify them not sure how as the shoulder straps dont even reach the floor behind its weard any way if the drivers side belt is connected properly wich it is then they cant stop me from racing as they havent before....

i posted this thread to get th0oughts about my nitrous set up i do realise i have to change the passenger side belt from on top of the cage i dont need 10 people telling me what i already no.

the reason the belt is not long enough is that the one you have bought is not designed for a sedan. it has the straps for either an open wheeler, or a roadster (like and MX5 or clubman etc). they bolt the shoulder straps right behind the drivers shoulders. I'm not sure that there is any way you can legally modify it, i would just try and sell it and buy the correct belt. :P

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
