From what I understand they are supposed to be for a horn, but who has time to honk? I am very much so considering being uber eleet and getting some nitrous, and I want to know if I am going to be able to hook that ish up so one sprays and one is for the bleeding system coolness(can't be too cafe..doesn't look bad either(2F2F YA'LL THE JA RULE SAIDEM SO MOFACKOSCRACKOS))

So tell me, has it been done? Or would it be easier/safer to get those little clip on switches.

Also, for the steering wheel, I doubt one has to do with the other, but could I also put a master toggle elsewhere for the nitrous (actuall Shot and the bleeding) so I can not be doing burnouts and freaking people out because i'm retarded and playing with buttons while driving.

kthx.

Dude, you know they call them suicide switches, right? The little push buttons like that will get stuck and pop goes the engine. I say it does look cool, but I wouldn't take the chance. Go with the factory throtle activation. It is way safer.

To actually answer the question, yes, they are fairly easy to hook up to the nitrous system from what I am told.

can be done, has been done, and is easy to do.the buttons do stick easily, and are very easy to bump while normal driving.

on a similar note...has anyone seen the relocation of steering-wheel mounted cruise control buttons? if i were to go out and get the nice steering wheel i want, where do my cruise buttons go? is it possible to relocate them? i wouldnt want to get rid of it for those looong drives.

Ques: If you where to get a quick-release streering wheel hub, could you still use the horn/nos/whatever buttons? Oh, and I would also like to know about the cruise control buttons...

if ur not good at wiring and dont feel like relocating, u can always put the origonal steering wheel back on when u go on long trips. otherwise if u dont have a idea of how to relocate the buttons then u prolly dont have the tools or electrical knowledge to do the switch. im sure u could get a car audio place to do it for u.

Ok, so, they stick, if and when they stick, not only will thier be a clutch cut off switch (pretty stupid not to have one), but a master switch, so as I said, bumping them while driving will not be an issue.

Thanks for letting me know though.

Hey Toki, that what were here for. :D I plan on using Nitrous when I ever get my car. So, I had done a decent bit of research on it. I originally wanted one of the steering wheels you want. But I figure the throtle activation at WOT is the way too go. Not to mention some would say it is a tad bit ricey. But screw them, right?
