N20 legal?
 
Say I were to install a nitrous kit reasonably hidden in my car. Is it illegal to have in a street car?

You need a permit to handle it at all. I think if you have that you are OK to drive around with it as long as it's not hooked up.

sweetbmxrider 01-31-2009 11:37 AM

a filled bottle is illegal to transport. hazardous ****

yeah unless you have a permit

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 11:37 AM

I saw that one thread about that in the lounge wasn't sure whether that was to be a dealer/refill station or for personal use.

Personal use.

You get the permit from the dept. of health and senior services.

I think you can transport it but you can't have the bottle hooked up.

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 11:51 AM

Ohhh, right right. You wouldn't happen to know the fine for not having the permit?

Up to and including loss of car and/or license.

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 11:57 AM

Fuuck, ok, food for thought. hmm

NJSPEEDER 01-31-2009 12:45 PM

It is legal to transport the system fully installed as long as it is not "armed" and you have the permit. Armed = bottle valve open and power going to solenoids.

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 03:37 PM

So if I have a remote bottle opener and hidden switches, there is really no way for them to know 100%?

And this is all assuming I do something incredibly stupid enough to get pulled out of the car and forced into a full car search, street racing would do it.

Which I don't do, but I want to find out the legal jurisdictions of having a N20 system before maybe getting one. ;)

NJSPEEDER 01-31-2009 03:46 PM

Pretty much. My suggestion would be to keep as much of the system tucked away as possible. Even if you are legal, there is always the possibility of someone seeing something and saying something or you doing something mildly stupid and catch more for it just because that bottle was staring up from the hatch.

sweetbmxrider 01-31-2009 03:50 PM

i'd tuck it in the spare tire compartment personally. run the lines as safely and as hidden as possible.

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 03:51 PM

Well the tank is gonna be the new spare tire, and the noids and plate will be hidden as much as I can.

sweetbmxrider 01-31-2009 03:52 PM

right on. where is the purge going to dump?

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 03:53 PM

Purge? I don't need no stinkin purge!

I am not sure yet, still need to get a few more odds and ends. Prob end up shooting up on the windshield.

sweetbmxrider 01-31-2009 05:35 PM

shoot it in the interior :D haha happy gas!

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 05:36 PM

LOL I actually had a convo of doing that and whether or not it would work.

sweetbmxrider 01-31-2009 05:39 PM

hahaha well i wouldn't suggest it unless the car was parked in the garage.

:mrgreen:Woot, my car is going to break stuff now! :lol:

Automotive grade nitrous has too much sulfur content. You will throw up before it gets you high. Tim is right on the rules. It can be installed and full as long as its shut off. Also, don't forget the blow down tube and other safety measured required by the nhra. Oh and you need a fire jacket too

LTb1ow 01-31-2009 07:06 PM

Fire jacket? Really? Woah.

Yes, the NHRA requires a jacket for any aftermarket power adder now.
