this here is my na **** box.. baught it for $450 and slapped some rego on it.. motor is very tyred.. unknown k's after i baught the car i desided i was going to put her in a skid comp.. results are as follows after that the motor was a bit worse for ware.. so to keep it skidding and increase my chances of winning ect and make it go a little more like a stock NA should i put a 411 welded centre in after that motor got cained at another skid comp and desided to go even worse so i took the final step in making my na a sleeper and test out my nos set up .. helped heaps.. i was keeping vnss's with my fuucked motor . was good fun and i advise nos for every 1.. its top stuff... only people that say its arse and blows **** up is the people that havent had it.. i almost put my whole bottle threw it last night and its still driving.. also nos while skidding is awesome because that motor is so tyred.. i baught a new motor off HINGO (aka sean) .. on these forums big thanks to him top bloke stole it from his calais we then desided to have fun with .. ill keep updates ok went to the latest skid comp at archifeild.. with the new motor (no gas) and yea it lasted 1:10 on the skid pad and desided to loose heaps of power and not skid so insted of thrashing the ring out of it i stoped and drove off. went bak towards where my mates were and the car stalled and died.. wouldnt start and is now pushing air OUT of the tb not sucking in ?? o well that was sat night.. new motor is now in runs ok but seems to have a pop when u take the foot off the accelerator. yet again just thrashed my raw na power down the 1/4 mile.. NA i got a 16.3... with the gass i got a 15.0 (*twice) so yea cut i didnt get a 14 so close maybe next time ill go there with out over half a tank of fuel Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Originally Posted by grpAtrbo How Hard Was It To Set Nos Up????????it Looks Like U Just Plumbed It Into Intake Piping was piss easy.. i knew nothing about nos.. no instrutions no nothing.. and still done it in 2 hours.. Quote: Originally Posted by holdonv8 sick..... are they tubelss valves for rims on the inlet pipe? dude are u on drugs.. its a wet nos fogger set up.. 1 is a fuel line and the other is a N2 line.. that thing joins the right amount (with the hp pills i put in it) together to get the effect... i put a big fuel shot with a small nos shot in 1st time.. and the car flooded and died.. had to work the mix's out coz i had no instructions and no 1 was any help..

Nice. It always gets me how u hear people go on about how you cant trust rb30's.. almost every mechanic you'll talk to rekons a stock 30 cant hold boost, couldnt take a lot of nos, etc etc... But its a load of tripe. Theres so many VL's and R31's getting about running high power rb30's on relatively stock internals...

for sure nos is better than boost.. coz its cold and where boost is hot.. and boost restricts the exhaust flow..
