some where out of sight.. cops seem to have the feeling that NOS is a big :nono:
or if you don't care about them, then i'd go for the easiest place it is to hit them

Mine are in my console right behind the window switchs. The switch are from NX, the first one rocks both ways. Arms the system and turns on the bottle heater. The second is a spring loaded rocker for the purge. The tird is for the remote bottle opener.

Mine are in the ashtray. Out of site and out of mind.
The purge, arming, and bottle heater fit rather nicely once you remove the metal part of the ashtray.

Laws vary state to state, but in most it is.

Here in MA the law is that you may not transport nitrous unless you are traveling to or from a race venue and the system is disabled. If you are going to transport it otherwise you have to have one of those big ugly "Nitrous Oxidide" and "Unflammable" signs on your vehicle.

Like I said.... thats what the law.... if it is ever enforced I think it is up to the officer at the time. Mine switches are in an easy to hit location.

I need to take a pic of mine, but unless the wife got me a dig cam for Xmas or I borrow one....The switch is a NOS one right between the TB and the TPS.

i know of a aftermarket shifter **** that has four buttons on it that u can hook up anything to it with relays.i can find out what brand it is and try to get pics if anyone is interested.the shifter is usually used for neon lights and strobes but with a relay anything is possible so look into that.

I know of customers that have inadvertantly hit the button at idle too many times and fragged head gaskets while waiting for the light to change to yellow going the other way thats why I recommend the throttle button. if you have to have a button under your finger, then run it in series with the throttle one so you can only manually activate it at WOT.

I had my power switch set up through the fog light switch(no fog lights) in my GTA. I even had it set up to show a nice little light like the factory when it was "armed".

The upper red switch is the "arming", blue button is purge, back red is bottle heater and then the gauge...

I can see it now your gf takes the car while your asleep and it gets really foggy outside so she turns on the fog lights, she returns home later and says " umm honey did you know that if you have the fog lights on the car is really fast." and your like " uh oh." then she hands you a mageled license plate and says " The important thing here is that im ok honey, right?" Then she runs for it ! lol

And shame on you for leaving your nitrous bottle open ALL the time. I feel sorry for you if your car gets treated like a rental. I like being able to tell anyone to try and find my nitrous switch and they come up clueless.

I'd like to see the MGL # for that law in Mass..

1) Most N20 systems are DOT approved, and have CARB E0 numbers
2) N20 is non-flamable, and non-hazardous.
