NOS on a NA Z32

[Ampzx32]

I was just thinking would a stock na auto Z32 handle a small dry shot of nitrous? If so, what would be the best way to set it up? If not, what should be done so that it will take the nos?

Im not looking to switch to a turbo or 5 speed yet, just trying to be diffirent and not spend too much money for the moment. Any help would be nice.

I'll be honest with you. Most of the people on these forums are enthusiasts that take our sport seriously. In saying that, a "stock" 300zx with a nitrous system equipped basically means a young and stupid teenager wanting to put himself and others in danger. Now of course, on the rare chance you've decided to build a.. um. Race car... out of a stock, automatic 300zx and put nitrous on it, act like you've done some work and run it at a track - then by all means, I would love to help you and give you proper information.

But most likely nobody on this forum will support the kind of things you're asking for. Don't you watch youtube?

And that's in a civic. Imagine a real car, like a Z car.

save your money for a swap, don't cheap out and risk the life of your motor for quick fast goodies

[tg]

bad advice you guys....

I run a 75 shot all day with no problems on a stock engine with intake and exhaust and 1 step cooler plugs.

TG, as much as I respect your opinion, and I do seeings how I love seeing you post - I just happen to disagree. I believe, if you're going to be wreckless do it in style. Drive a 5 speed, be safe about it, and drive a car that seems it was meant to be put to the test, or else you're asking for something breaking whether it's your car or someone else.

And you have a stock motor, but that's TT isn't it? Not a stock automatic 300zx with a teen driver trying to be cool infront of his friends with NOS.

[ztommyx]

NOS it. pure quick and easy HP there...Fast n Furious yo!

[300freekzx]

unless you want to destroy your motor go ahead.

[Chrispy300]

Couple of the NA guys here in Aus are running nitrous on there Zeds...

If you must, get a wet shot. If you tune it properly you won't have any issues. Except your gearbox will probably **** itself

I know a guy who has hit over 300RWKW on standard engine and turbo's with a 70 shot.

Everything should have nos. City busses, airplanes, scooters, wheelchairs -- everything. I see nobody using nitrous in that video.

Unless you're doing a 120+ shot of wet you're not going to blow yourself off the road unexpectedly. When I tried a 35 nozzle (on an NA engine) it was barely noticable, 70 was a bit better but definitely not chassis-bending, tire-shredding-in-3rd or anything of the sort that could get you into a predicament.

Its a pretty safe mod despite its unjustified fast and furious reputation. You just have to make sure you watch out for your intake manifold and make sure your passenger side floor boards are affixed properly.

Thanks guys for all the helpful information and not all the negative talk. I'm a motorcycle shop owner and drag racer. I'm just trying to play around with something different and have that sleeper look. I will do an intake mod, auto line controller, pulleys, and 1 piece driveshaft. I just wanted to know if some of you guys that "do" have experience with nos and not afraid of it think I would need anything else like hd valve springs etc.

THX p3ngy, never gets old.

[nissanz300]

yea those floor boards are a bi*ch when they fly off at 140!!!! lol

but seriously i have a n/a and was thinking about adding spray. like tg said dont go over a 120shot. they recomend a stock motor should not use more than a 20 shot per cylinder. and wet i hear is the better. dont have to get bigger injectors, fuel pump, and a butt load of tuning. im trying to find more info also. my goal is a 100 shot wet. anyone know whats needed, required, good or bad to do?

[300freekzx]

I am interested also. Sorry about previous statement

[AZNiNjARaVeR]

I run about a 70 shot of nos on my 300zx, and i still haven't had this pop up on any of my computers. and my engine still runs well. Its just the way people run the nos. many idiots think its just an easy way to gain horsepower, and they drive like they always do hitting rev limiters all the time, causing a very lean condition, causing there engine to BLOW!!! thats a true way to be STUPID

[nissanz300]

thats 2 people with a 70 shot. well what brand, and setup are you two running? what have you done to make the setup work? tuning?

[tg]

zex kit which runs off of the throttle position sensor, it learns your throttle voltage when WOT and then only activates when you are WOT and the system is on, one of the best system's i've ever used. Nozzle mounted in the intake pipe just after the MAF.

[nissanz300]

dry kit?

Thats the same way I set up nitrous on the bikes only in the intake ports on the head with the wet kit and I mainly use the NOS kit.

[tg]

yes nissanz300, dry kit. Alot less work and unless you're pushing for 120+ the dry kit will work fine.

[hannibal]

the zex nos kits?!? kinda like the Fordolet Mustamaro

[nissanz300]

well my goal is a 100 shot. but doesn't a dry kit require tuning and bigger injectors, fuel pump and all that mess. also whats the advantage of wet over dry?

[Ikon_1911]

Did you ever get the NOS kit and which kit? I've read wet is better for the z32 and no more than 120hp shot

[DCaff300ZX]

This is a long dead old thread here and none of these guys are here any longer to respond, most likely.

If you want some current NOS info, post up a thread here asking about current NOS applications for the Z32 specifically and you may get more answers.
In my VERY limited knowledge on NOS you are correct that wet, 100-120 shots are the recommended dosages for the Z32.
Also, it may seem odd but I've found that direct calls to outfits that cater to your specific need often gets the best results when you can talk to the source directly, so find a NOS dealer locally and give them a call and talk about your plans/wishes and see what they can do, and how. Wet and dry, tune/no tune, etc.
