Well its good to see people getting results from nitrous with these cars. I am assuming most of you have 6speed cars though. I have an auto and am worried about spraying through the shifts. I dont want to hurt the tranny. What about the use of the sport shift? Any ideas?

 

check w/ audible mayhem.

He has gotten great results w/ his auto G35. He has hit high 12s and traps of about 110. I think he has the usual mods plus nitrous!

 

QuadCam...how big of a shot did you run? What you guys think of zex and venom??

 

Yeah becuase technicians are dumb and can't tell you juiced. Leave the NAAAWWWSS for high school kids and their precious Fast and the Furious fantasies.

 

if i'm not mistaken, technicians can tell if you sprayed or not because the nitrous leaves a residue in the internals.

 

they can tell, usually, depends on whether it was constant use, or a one time thing (that's harder to find). i'm not familiar with residue... what would the residue be? too much oxygen? obviously some of the signs would be extreme heat cycles, too lean, etc... yes, that would leave signs just like any other un-tuned motor. i'm not familiar with the tell-tale signs of 'yup, he sprayed, case closed.'

the only residue that would be obvious would be the fuel that collected in the intake manifold (and that's only if you use the wet shot), which is my only concern for a wet. fuel isn't supposed to pass through the throttle body, and the intake manifold. as a matter of fact, that residue collects because all of the fuel does not make it into the engine. that could lead to bad things (if not carefully monitored). it's not difficult to setup in these cars, but is also something a beginner should not attempt by him/herself.

someone correct me if i'm wrong.

 

please don't say things that relate high school kids like that... it's too easy to put down anything you don't like.

for example:

leave the 19" rims for high school kids and their precious fast and furious fantasies.

or:
leave the body kits for high school kids and their precious fast and furious fantasies.

or what about this one (because we all know it doesn't do much, if anything):
leave the cold air intakes for high school kids and their precious fast and furious fantasies.

come on... that's way too easy. i could list stuff like that all day. about coilovers, and people who buy them just to lower their car (and not for it's intended performance use), or bbk's (people who get them because they come in red).

bottom line, if somebody wants to do it, regardless of reason, it's their car. if you have a legitimate complaint about something somebody wants to do, by all means, voice your opinion, this is an open forum... but just saying - well, if you want to act like a child, go ahead - isn't really constructive.

sorry for hijacking.

 

Nitrous Oxide breaks down into Nitrogen and Oxygen.... what residue will be left? N20, evaporates under room temperature so there shouldn't be residues left, right?

 

I could be wrong, i just remember hearing about how tech's can tell if someone sprayed (considering it was constant). This was years ago so pardon the lack of memory

 

on a side note, how much hp/tq is our stock clutches capable of before having to swap it out for a beefier one?

 

anybody?

 

Would infiniti really get a tech to break down the engine and check for things like NOS or would it just be a matter of getting motor pulled and replaced at infiniti once the motor came in(assuming it's under warranty).

 

I imagine if you're going to make a warranty claim for an entire motor, Infiniti is going to request the Tech pull the head and perhaps even check the cylinders and pistons for abuse. I could be wrong, but the Tech's time isn't going to be high enough to discourage the job, IMO.

 

yea that makes sense. especially if all you really have to do is pull a head to check for abuse. Seems like a tech could do that within a resonable amount of time too.
