Your biggest problem is going to be traction if you have crappy tires.

@red6spd - Sure price is no secret. Bought the kit from Atlanticspeed.com for $689.95. Fills are running be $35 for the 10lb fill @ Lone Star Performance in Dallas. They also have a Nos pump to fill so no waiting and nice guys even though primarily a domestic speed shop.

ZEX 82238 NISSAN 350Z 2007-2008 COMPLETE WET NITROUS SYSTEM KIT - Atlantic Speed Warehouse

They are quick to ship and has been a good experience thus far. I am getting the purge kit and bottle warmer delivered from them tomorrow.

Finding these to things to be very important as the bottle at fill is reading about 800psi. It is recommend to have psi range from 900-1000 and need the warmer to accomplish that. The purge kit ensure Nos is ready to go at anytime and the street credit is always fun too! Total spend here is about $300

All said about $1K into the system thus far.

if anybody is looking for a great priced kit with good quality check out dynotunenitrous.com. I have used several of their kits with no problems.

That kit wit the Fuel adaptor runs $558 and is activated via a switch mounted under the pedal.

ZEX™ electronics use the vehicle’s throttleby- wire system to activate the nitrous at wide-open throttle, and Active Fuel Control™ Technology adjusts fuel enrichment with variations in bottle pressure, so you’re never too rich or too lean.

I am not saying that your kit wont work but (in my humble opinion)... if I am running Nos I want it to be a SAFE as possible. I was willing to pay the extra $130 for more failsafes to protect the motor.

Hope it goes well for ya and wish you all the best.

Default Track times....

Went to the track today as promised. NoS essentially shaved 1 sec off 1/4 time.

Weather: 68F and clear
Tires: Lets just say time to replace em

I am car #23. NoS run on left slip and N/A on right slip.

NoS Run:
R/T: .731 : Been a while since at track
1/4 Time : 12.920
1/4 MPH: 109.72

N/A Run:
R/T: .788
1/4 Time : 13.881
1/4 MPH: 102.59

Thoughts: Struggled getting grip at the start and confident that I could get 12.7 with a new set of rubber.

Cool glad you like your set up!


I went with the same on my old 350Z, Once you get some more track time and new tires get the 100 shot jets in and a tune and you will be breaking into the 11's

I am a little confused. The 40th now does it come stock with 332 or 350 at the fly? You had a 2.0 60 footer which is decent on the the NOS slip. Though the N/A I don't understand b/c stock you should be running lower in the 13s but your trap speed wasn't there. With a couple of mods already you should already be 13 flat at least. What tires do you plan to go with? Def. get a tune to see if your running lean or something b/c both slips should have been better. Where are you located? What is your elevation above sea level. Now I am not saying that I am the best driver in the world I am just simply pointing out what the car is capable of. I hope you do better next time buddy.

What are your other mods? also, the nitrous didn't quite cut a second off your time most likely more like a half second or less. Your 60 foot was 2.4 on the n/a run and 2.0 on the nitrous run, which isn't effected by the nitrous. Great results on the nitrous run though! I cant wait to see what mine will do when my nitrous finally is finished getting installed.
