Are nitrous systems legal in QLD?

[iUte]

Are nitrous systems legal and if so how much large a system can you put on a 328rwkw L98 without stuffing the bottom end?

[Wongy295]

In Queensland and Western Australia it is illegal to fit a Nitrous Kit to a registered street vehicle

Took me three seconds to Google...Poor form.

Run a 200hp dry shot through it. Will go hard.

[Super_Low 91]

Don't be girly man, just do it

When the cops ask just tell em its ya LPG tank

[Kernal]

Under the seat, Vin Diesel style.

[iUte]

Thanks Sabbath,

How much would a 200hp dryshot system set me back, how hard is it to conceal the plumbing around and on the engine? (the bottle can be hidden behind the ute tub liner easily).

The fun part is finding some1 to do the install

[HSV5L]

Paint it like a fire extinguisher with the stickers ftw.

[Diesel_junkie]

Lol, I'll start the betting for Iute to fold his ute around a pole? can't go wrong with a shot in Nx right on the piston direct injection that bitch

[Diesel_junkie]

But do the vin diesel can't go wrong! Cops won't know

[bonners]

I understand, here in Qld, that even if you remove the bottle but leave all the lines in place it is illegal

you can fit a hidden system if you want to, even though port injection will punch a crap load more neddies into the equation. 200 HP is a serious system! traction is an option unless you have some seriously good tyres or slicks. Your current fuel rail might support a lower HP system, not sure how many pounds of pressure they currently produce. It's been about 30 years since i last built a N20 system. Don't be fooled by the movies though, you can't gas nitrous and leave it on for more than a few seconds.... it will rev your engine to destruction.

So let me get this straight.... because I'm a little confused.

Is the biggest worry getting caught by the cops?
Because my biggest worry would be voiding the insurance when you lose it. Aint no way any insurance cover will remain valid when they see a plumbed in NOS system in the wreakage.
May as well stop paying rego as well in that case.

Vin-Diesel didnt have to worry about insurance hassles, because Hollywood is make believe .

[ivabiggen]

But do the vin diesel can't go wrong! Cops won't know

Make sure you get the hose outta ya mouth quick!

easy to find an installer, even easy to do it yourself, but is it illegal, yes, very much so, in all states

[iUte]

Its laughable how so many younster's relate nitrous with vin diesel HAHHAHHA What the hell has that tosser got to do with nitrous ... he is an actor isnt he?????? Victor Bray is a man you should associate with nitrous, his wiper snipper would have a blown alcohol V8 and do 6 second passes!

A friend of mine used to plumb up and install nitrous on many Harley's, BTW Vin Diesel kids, you also dont need a big red "batphone" style button either like you see in the movies lol.

You can plumb systems up pretty sneaky but you can still get caught. He used to plumb the nitrous between the top of the engine block on V8's and the inlet manifold so you couldn't see it without ripping the engine apart. You also just uses a switch which arms the system (hidden of course, in a glovebox, under the seat, if police see it he would say its a kill switch), at a preset throttle position the system readies itself for a discharge, and at over %95 throttle position it releases the nitrous (or something like that). I only ever played with nitrous on Harley's (and have seen many blow up due to too big a jet selected)

Would be interesting to know how much power the bottom end and internals on a stock L98 can handle, I'd select a system that wouldn't push the power level of my car above that (also considering fuel, intake and other factors that will determine sizing of the system) its so easy to keep selecting bigger and bigger until something goes pop.

Is there anyone in Brisbane the specialises in nitrous systems ??? The rubber I have on the car atm wouldn't handle it, but it would be good to whack some slicks on and take it to the drag strip to see what it can do on and off the bottle, be a good laugh on the street also being able to light up the 245's at high speeds.

[Diesel_junkie]

good luck with it all especially with running NOx with street tyers on the street.

Considering people drive over 600RWkW supercharged vehicles with street tyres, I'm not really too bothered, just have a spoon full of cement .... hold it flat!

I too would be concerned with running street tyers on the street... whatever they are

So one minute you're clueless:

Thanks Sabbath,

And the next you're some expert who's got a "friend" who's an expert.

Which is it?

[Diesel_junkie]

Well street tiers are quite obviously normal road tiers. Unless Of course your picking on my grammar.

[Drawnnite]

ok i cannot be bothered making a new thread for this.

ive looked at importing a car, it has a full nitrous set up in it. however if its not "hooked up" with a full bottle (empty or no bottle) is that still illegal?\
i only ask because its an awesome car. and becuase there seems to be alot of incompeltes around it
(car is a 69 chevy nova with a 383 in it)

if not is it hard to take it off?

[Wongy295]

Tyres...

[VT-565]

In QLD it is illegal to have ANY component of a nitrous system fitted to your regoed car.

Obviously for this reason, insurance will skip off into the sunset, making confetti out of your policy papers should they find out.

The OP is a bit weird.
I havent heard anyone say that the 200 dry shot is a bit out of reach with most of the fuel systems on here.

[iUte]

Sabbath,

I am no expert and never said i was (you did infact which says a lot about your own knowledge or lack there of). I used to help a close mate about 10 yrs ago who lives interstate now, play around with nitrous systems on many Harley Davidsons and yes have seen one installed on a V8 in the manner I descried (a HQ 350 chev with 750dp, which is slightly different to the fuel injected L98 i currently have hence my asking).

In the thread I genuinely asked if it was legal, which was answered (NO not in QLD), and also inquired about price and sizing of a system to suite my engine ... once again, read the thread.

In future you should read the thread and answer the question asked and if you don't know (which is pretty obvious now that you know about as much as the guy who works at 7/11 and watches to fast too furious) then don't bother replying with an answer you are unsure of, let someone who does know reply.

I asked you how much a system of the size you suggested would cost and tips on how to conceal it on an L98 engine/VE arrangement (hence me posting this on the VE section of the website). If you dont know or dont want to help then thats fine, I just dont have the time to get into a pissing contest with someone who probably knows less than me by the sound of it.

I'm hear to talk about the topic and gather information, not get into a childish pissing contest, sorry mate!
