well i have had my NX kit for about a year now.. bottle is in the back/trunk area like most of them i see. im just wondering if u should more it to the "hump" part by the back seat area.. or should i just leave it be. i really dont use it enough to want to move it up front.. and i dont want to buy a remote bottle opener either... but sometimes i wish i had it up front so i can turn it on "if" i needed to.. any comments on if i should move it up front.. and if u have any pics of urs up front please post.

 

if your back seat is out(top part) i would mount it there against the part that the top sits against(upward metal part of floorpan)
that way you can reach it but if a cop pulls you over you can quickly turn it off and purge it out

 

If you don't need to move it forward, then don't. With it mounted in the back seat area, It is more accessible to sunlight, which doesn't make a nitrous bottle very happy. My opinion is to leave it in the well where it is.

 

throw a blanket over top of it unless you live in the middle of the freaking desert and then you should never leave it in the car

 

i had one in the well for awhile....it worked alright but not nearly as effective as one pointed in the right direction with the valve facing forward.

i have both of them up on the deck now, not practicle for daily driving which i don't leave them in anyhow but excellent for shows and track use.

 

Im glad you brought that up because nobody has ever discussed this before...

also here is an idea I have shared before...

 

wow..thanks for all those threads that either have 1 or no responces or just talk about the spare tires area...

 

Pics of mine:


Not visible when the carpet and plastics are in the car.

I just saw that you stated you want pics of bottles in the front of the car, I will leave mine up. It seems like you are asking for trouble if:

A: Potential thieves can look into your car and see your bottle
B: Cops can see your bottle if you ever get pulled over
C: Your bottle is where passengers can mess with it

 

LMAO!

 

Here is mine, I love the location.. Great for "on the fly" bottle opening without a remote bottle opener..



Cheers,

 

how did you bolt that bracket down?

 

I call them tap-cons.. Screws that drill their own hole before they go in.. Holds it well..

Cheers,

 

but now you cant fold your rear seat down.

 

who folds thier seat down? what you need to haul some lumber with your "truck-maro"?

 

tires.

plus it looks neater.




and yes, ive hauled engine blocks, heads, engine hoists, a 700R4 and T5 trans, and a rear end in my camaro.

 

DEAR GAWD NO!

you need to get one of those little homo trailers like the other road racers haul behind thier miatas.

or

go drag racing the "pair" of tires fits without folding it down

 

Ha ha, that's funny.. This is a purpose built car, it goes fast.. If I want to lug lumber, engines or anything else home, I'll take one of my other cars that doesn't get 2 mpg to do it with..

Cheers,

 

*shrug*


then again, you dont have a convertible.. no sun worries on the seat either i suppose....


mines a daily driver.... so i keep the seat available.

 

The only people that can even fit in the back seat of our cars are either 5 year olds or midgets! Ha, it would be pretty funny to see a midget in there.

 

actually its pretty damn handy... when you meet people(esp the girlie girls ) they usually have a friend or two with them... even if its not the most comfortable space, its not that bad.

and 3 seasons out of the year, (im in the south) the top is down, so other then a lil wind, its not bad at all.. unlimited headroom, and as long as the seat isnt ALL the way back, even i fit snugly back there (im 6'1)


then again wake up call to everyone that DOESNT use the 2+2 setup...

you're driving the wrong car.... you would be faster, and save weight if you didnt have that extra foot and a half of car behind you...

 

may be faster but can't possibly look as good.

my cage restricts anyone safely sitting in the back so it's no longer an option unless your 3' tall.

 

Is the bracket stable? It looks kinda wobbly...

 

Very solid, I made the bracket myself..

Cheers,

 

how could you go about this without drilling holes into the gas tank?

 

Hrm, right off the top of my head, I would say remove your carpet and mark your bracket holes somehow on the deck. Take a bolt with the head cut off, or threaded rod, and weld it to the marked spots.. Your brackets will slide over and then you can bolt em down.. Depending on how your brackets are made, you could weld nuts to the deck and use precisly cut bolts to connect the brackets to the deck..

Just some thoughts,

 

interesting idea. the above picture looks as if there is a plate they are mounted to but that idea would work as well.

 

just mount it right behind the drivers seat(right where people feet would go) and have some carpet or similar covering that can go over it

 

I had my bottle mounted on the centre hump for a while, and found the best way to hide it from plain view was to buy a cheap gym bag, and cut a hole in the bottom of it and slip it over the bottle.

I may very-well have got the idea off this very forum, i honestly cant remember, but i know its saved my *** a few times.

 

take your gas tank out, mount the bottles, put your gas tank back in.

Im not sure how much clearance there is between the gas tank and the body, but assuming there is an inch or two, use some short bolts and weld the nuts to the underside of the body so if you want to, you can take the brackets out without dropping the tank again.

 

i hate making new holes in the body though....all good ideas, but i want to avoid any holes if possible. well seeing as how the top deck area is quite popular i've decided to move them to where the rear seats use to be. since i no longer have them it will be easier to reach as well as more out of sight.

now i just have to figure out how to mount them there.

 

Jeff, do like people mount amps.

Pull your carpet up. and cut a piece of MFD the sive of the area back there.. put it under the carpet. Then you have a good foundation to drill in with out worries. and its under the carpet and cut to size Its not gona move.

 

good idea.

 

hi, i dont have my iroc yet but I always go on the board to "brush" up on iroc information. while reading the post i saw raven90iroc said it saved his ***. does he mean from other racers finding out he is running nitrous or by the cops? if by the cops, is it illegal or just not a good thing for a cop to see especially being pulled over for a speeding ticket? albert III

 

nitrous typically in just about all cases is illegal on the street. if insurance finds out your running nitrous you will be dropped as well. however this is most cases, roughly 98%.

 

Just stick it in the spare tire well and run the line up under the plastics. I got mine all the way down under the fenderwell plastic and down to the passenger side where I removed the doorsill trim piece, ran the line and re-installed the line under the plastic, behind the passenger side footwell plastic and up though the firewall to the engine bay. Easy, simple setup and undetectable as long as you keep the hood shut and the spare tire well cover on.
