My buddy bought a 99 LS recently, he also ordered a ZEX dry kit over the internet. I was trying to think of a place where he could hide the bottle, but there arnt that many places on a teg. Give me some ideas and post pics!!!

 

i would say trunk, unless you wanna sacrifice your backseat

 

Spare tire well or hide it in a large dummy sub box. Cops will not really inspect it for NOS.

 

I mounted mine in the spare tire compartment but i had to make custom brakets for it to fit down there.

 

like one said inside a sub box. You can even split it in half and use one side for subs and the other for nitrous.

 

Does anybody have any pics of mounting it in a sub box? I'm curious to see how it looks, and roughly how much wieght it adds.

 

Not much weight at all, you can hide the tank in a BASS tube...behind ur seat

 

in your front seat F&F style

 

Just FYI....if he is planing on racing...he should be more concerned about hiding the selonoids etc. If he pops the hood, they will be easy to see.....If you are racing, people don't typically ask you to pop your trunk.

 

I hope you are only hiding the bottle from the cops, because using NOS in a race and not tell people about it is cheap.

 

he's not using NOS, he's using Zex. does that still make it cheap?

 

No difference to me.

 

sorry zoom, to most people the connotation of the word NOS is that it is any nitrous system. the denotation of the word, I will fully agree is a specific nitrous system.

just like the connotation of the word Coke means any carbonated drink product, but pepsi doesn't. although the denotation of the word coke and pepsi are both the same (soft drinks). coke can be used to mean any soft drink.

and NOS is the same way.

and BTW, to hide your tank, you should get one of those NOS subs! put them side by side and say you have two NOS subs!

Can we all PLEASE get the word NOS out of are vocabulary??????

Its called a NITROUS tank or bottle. not NOS.

NITROUS NITROUS NITROUS

 

what is it about the word NOS that pisses people off?

I have been calling any nitrous system NOS for almost 15 years now, and that is only because I didn't care about cars when I was 10.

I have known more people that called any nitrous systems NOS than I have that haven't, in fact, this is a very recent occurance, people flaming others for saying NOS instead of nitrous.

do you ask where the klenex is when you have a runny nose? I know I do. it is silly for me to ask where the facial tissue is.

do you ask for a soda pop or a coke? I always ask for coke, and I am more often than not countered with a question of what kind of coke (and not meaning diet, vanilla etc). at which point I say, dr pepper. and they don't blink twice.

my point with these two examples is that NOS might be one specific brand of nitrous, but after repeated use as an all encompassing term refering to any nitrous system, it is kind of stuck. so either start saying NOS as well, or stop shoving your mind down our throats.

 

Have you ever worked tech support? "Is the internet down?" no your internet "connection" is fucked ... its called being intelligent and using proper terminology

how about just conforming, start calling it Nitrous, so you can do your part to help keep the world educated

 

 

I dont have pics .. but what i was planning on doing was mounting my bottle on the floor board behind the drivers seat and run the lines under the carpet ... im tall ... not much leg room back there anyway.... and if i HAVE to carry 4 people for some reason .. they can just put there feet on the middle hump

as for the stealth part ... i have a nautica gym bag i was planning on mounting the bottle inside the bag to the floor ... and zip it up ... keeping the handle facing the inside of the cab and up at an angle ... so i can do a reacharound and open it ... also keeps the nozzle in a more safe spot from side, rear, or front end collision

 

Wow, that is some sneaky ****, especially the part about the gym bag. As for using nitrous and not telling about it being cheap, hell, who cares? "Cheap" is a relative term. Some might say nitrous in general is cheap, or stripping interior is cheap, etc. I agree with the saying "run what your brung". You shouldn't need to announce to the world what exactly you have in your car, so they can think about it, then decide not to race because they might lose. That's BS. That would mean the whole notion of a sleeper is being "cheap". I think not....

 

Thank you very much.

 

well, if you want to get technical, then shouldn't you say nomenclature, instead of terminology?

and since you are using propper capitalization, I will assume you aren't as lazy as me, and I will point out that Internet, should be capitalized, while nitrous, unless you are using it as a propper noun, does not have to be capitalized.

conforming? educated?

it is our differences that keep us unique. as far as educated, you want me to conform to you, and be educated that way.

do you understand what is said when someone says NOS in place of nitrous? so you find them less educated, I find you to be oppressive when you try and make them see things your way, when obviously NOS is meant as an all encompassing solution to the word nitrous.

and by the way, I have been calling nitrous NOS looooong before F&F came out, and never, until after that movie came out, did I see anyone complaining about interchanging the word NOS with nitrous. it is like you are trying to curb some sort of imports are stupid type thing, by having us all use propper nomenclature, well I am here to tell you that it isn't an import thing, it is a car enthusiast thing to call nitrous NOS, and it deffinately isn't a F&F thing.

I will discuss this no further as I see no point in it as you obviously are too narrow minded to look at things that don't look exactly like you want them to, and as a result you only throw insults.

ZEX in the backseat

and put a shirt over it.

 

Sell the Zex bottle, and get a NOS sneeky pete bottle and put it in your glove box.

 

my friend put his bottle behind the driver side seat. he put it in his school back pack. no one ever really knew he had one.

 

put in the low spot in ure trunk where the spare tire should b and throw the carpet over it and NEVER OPEN THE TRUNK FOR ANYONE!!!!!! just worry about hiding the selonoids and if u only open the hood at night noone will see you say ure gettin the zex well..paint the control unit thing black and have the nitrous line go to the bottom of ure intake pipe o and cover the line with rubber vaccume hose thell never kno i believe in run what u brung and for the dicks who make u pop ure hood hide it so they dont see it sleepers are what its all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
