I would say though, to disconnect your feed line from the bottle just to avoid any problems when dealing with officers. I myself have bumped into a few cops at gas stations and they definitely noticed the bottle. They just shook their heads lol.

thats what i was looking for, thx.

Great to see another Nitrous user come along. That's I'm glad to see that you have done your home work and know your data.

I think the bottle should have been placed differently but to each his own. Just know that when your bottle gets lower in pressure, you might not be getting all of the bottle because of its position.

If you open up that bottle, its just like a fire extinguisher. It has a hose which extents near the bottom of the tank. During hard acceleration when bottle pressure is low (even with a bottle heater) all of the nitrous will be stuck at the middle of the tank due to your position.

If you had the bottle placed where the bottom of the tank is facing the rear of the vehicle and the top end of the bottle facing inside the cab. Then when you accelerate all of the pressure goes to the bottom of the bottle where it gets picked up by the hose inside and into your feed line.

There is a reason why those brackets are placed the way they are (one higher than the other) its due to that specific reason.

I don't see any finished pictures of the engine bay other than when it was under contruction. Where did you tap? Are you running a single fogger system? Also, the placement of your bottle will not let you be able to use that thing at a track. If you are running at the track and get tech'ed properly. Track rules are if your bottle is inside the cab, your gonna need a safety blow down tube that vents outside the vehicle. Also, I hope you don't have your bottle with you alot during the day as that bottle will blow its rupture disk and vent all of the nitrous inside the cab. In its current position. You won't be able to have a blow down tube installed. If you do it will have to be a long one and your gonna have to drill through your floor.

Congrats.. Now step to a 100 shot like me

What a mouth full lol

, first off blow down tube is installed and releases under the car... Secondly nitrous bottles have a pick up straw that not only is tilted down , but in my case is also back.. So it's at a perfect position to pick up any remaining nitrous.. Here is another point: at the time when the straw placement is actually making a difference you already depleted the majority of the power your bottle can give you... By that time just finish up what you got or refill.... I am using dual fogger system (I believe a must) and I tapped into the stock fuel line at the start with an adapter, NO splicing required

and yes I am quite aware of the heat the bottle may build in the heat of the day. I know my stuff too

Didn't quite see the second line connected to the other part of your bottle. Sorry

When I asked what you tapped into, I was refering to where your fogger is at. There is not final picture shown of the engine bay hence why I was asking.

There are finished pictures there are just hard to see thats all.. The foggers are setup after the mas air flow on the elbow of the twintake.

God Damn you have a nice Z, I love the custom interior.

NitrousZ34 · 10-05-2012, 04:25 AM

Bump it up to a 150 shot

I had that on my 350z on a stock block and it was a blast! Z's really wake up when you give them a little nitrous. Happy spraying

LEGA-Z · 10-11-2012, 04:09 PM

Well guys, I upgraded the nitrous jets from a 50shot to 75shot... Got a full tank of nitrous ready for Friday

and a better looking gauge! Liquid filled this time

This is the Dynamat on the trunk bed, greatly reduces sound. And the quick disconnects I installed to easily pop out the subwoofer box

Mitco39 · 10-11-2012, 05:24 PM

LEGA-Z · 10-11-2012, 11:37 PM

I think that comment applies more to Fabio than me lol

blueranger · 10-23-2012, 11:17 PM

What kind of HP will you get with the 75 shot?

Diabel · 10-24-2012, 11:33 AM

I'm also using a 75 shot in my Z, everything is ok except the OEM clutch which slips often during the shot. Did you guys noticed that to (LEGA, JC671)? Do you still have the stock clutch or some aftermarket ones?

BTW: below my bottle solution:
