The local autox organization said that NOS was okay (a guy with a Subaru Outback asked them ), and on the TCRA registration form there is a yes/no box for NOS...doesn't say anywhere that you can't use it. Not that I would want to...

 

naaawz is all good..i been in a black r with it...also it get u high as all hell...but like the high it runs out...so yah better hope to keep that bottle full....

 

Yup

I'm thinking just a 50-shot... for "just in case" situations...

 

What sort of "just in case" situations do you plan on encountering at an autox or on the track?

 

Nos is more of a novelty item. I would hope you don't use it daily, rather just incase you are losing. I've seen nitrous setups last over 100k on a honda motor, so far at least 5 years with proper care. I have no doubt with proper installation and monitoring it will last you a long time. What do you have for safety?

 

NOS: Fun while it last.....for those who don't care about their motor

 

Nos or not if you don't care about your motor, you'll blow it up.

 

What he said. But if thats what you want then by all means squeeze

Actually, I've fallen victim to the devil as well. The kit has been sitting in my room for about 3 weeks now...finally getting the kit and a new clutch put in this weekend.

Should be fun...in moderation, of course.

 

read the sig, it'll last for a while, but I won't be surprised when you bent some valves. With proper care, it'll last...

 

Wonder how my 204k mile Volvo engine would like some NAAAAAAWS, y0!

Who wants to donate their old setup after you blow your B18C?

 

nos is great if you have a b16. If you mess up a b16 its cheep to fix. When you blow your type R motor you wont be saying the same thing. although fun while it last.

 

I was at Pocono last year on the long course. The long course uses part of the Nascar Oval. One ITR was using NOS on the super long straight-aways and was blowing past Trans-Ams and Corvettes. So, on this type of course NOS was very useful. Basically it was the best of both worlds. Fast in the curves (no NOS, just great handling in the ITR) and fast on the straights (using NOS).

 

I heard NOS sales tripled or something after Fast and the Furious came out. LOL.

That stuff is like viagra for cars. They should run a special "Yo yo yo, buy a bottle for yo car, get some free viagra for yo self".

 

No, many friends have, wich is (one of the reasons) why I know not to.
And I'll be laughing when you post back here in a few months with the thread title:
Engine Detonated. Need New Block

 

He he, man, you crack me up!

 

Dude, you gettin' your motor screwed.....

 

RTR's motor died because the spark plug conductor broke off, due to not being replaced. Replace those plugs with nitrous often, and run direct port with a reasonable shot and proper mods and you'll be fine IMO.

I met a guy at the drag strip last night.. 1/8 mile.. running 8.90s in a stock sentra SE-R.. intake, header, street tires and a 100 shot DP. Been running that way for a year and a half. Needless to say, my SE-R is going to run at LEAST a 150 shot, maybe run 200. (Granted, I'm *TRYING* to blow up the motor). He also misshifted, 7000rpm in 4th gear to 3rd gear, fucked up a rocker, replaced it, ran 8.90s the next night.

Summary: Run NOS if you want, F what the others say.

Huh???

 

Just dont misshift on the freeway while squeezing!! No turbo??

 

When using nitrous, you have to replace spark plugs VERY often. When the conductor broke off, it ended up on the valve seat when the valve was slammed shut, chipping the valve and fusing some metal to the valve seat.

 

JSpec: Who are j00 talking to?

 

I was talking to ITR0045.

 

dude , you will be fine . alot of these people are autox /road race ***** , if you have an r and dont do it the exact same way as them and do the same racing , your not excepted in thier eyes. . .
i have NOS . i love it, if you do it right then you will have a long motor life.
i think real type r bent his valves from not checking his plugs all the time . one of his elctrodes broke off and fucked up his valves.
if you check them and replace them every so often after squeezzing alot, you will be more than fine
alot of the people work their opinions off of myths and are just plain scared of it becuase of those myths.

 

Yeah, I fucked up my own motor
