Woah woah woah... thought this was a "welcoming community forum"

was only looking to find a cheeper alternative. if u dont have anything helpful to say then dont say anything at all

or u just wanna put post on every single forum.? dumb.

Thanks.

d16a7 · 11th May 2008, 09:17 PM

there isnt a cheaper alternative, they have the market in auckland for it.. and for what NOS is 180 bucks for 2 minutes of "boost" the money just doesnt add up (well thats how long the bottle lasted of continuous use)

having been there done that, well not me but my mate, it just wasnt worth it..

as aaron said the $$$ just dont add up running nos, and there arent many places in NZ that sell it

Richie-itr · 11th May 2008, 10:52 PM

no need 2 b a smart ass about it.

i never said itd be cheep.

d16a7 was far more helpful actually giving info.

nd ur just trying 2 tell me nos is a waste of money..

tut tut tut.

Richie-itr · 11th May 2008, 11:56 PM

i just want sumthn difrnt. thats how it adds up.

in my oppinion a purdge looks alot better then a front mount.

and my standard internals itr was faster then a turbd worked civic..

plus its not being used on the streets. unlike turbos. thats where i save my money.

turbozxi · 13th May 2008, 12:47 PM

Tried BOC gases?

Richie-itr · 13th May 2008, 05:59 PM

my mate went and he said they were saying its illegal.. but if u dnt use it on the street..?

anyway do they have automotive grade nos..?

nocert · 13th May 2008, 06:15 PM

im pretty sure they only have medical grade N2O, and it would be illegal to sell it to you as it is used in hospitals and dentists as laughing gas is it is not for public sale, and im sure automotive N2O has different properties to it than the medical grade anyway so you wouldnt be able to use it. so im sorry it looks like you have to buy it from C&M

As far as I know there are two differences between medical and automotive grade N2O. For medical grade N20 there's a certain proportion of oxygen mixed in so the patient doesn't suffocate. I'm unsure whether this is in the same tank or a seperate tank. For automotive N20 they mix in ~100ppm of elemental sulfur and/or sulfur dioxide to prevent recreational use.

nocert · 13th May 2008, 06:22 PM

yup you are correct MMJA, i just wasnt going to go into detail

Richie-itr · 13th May 2008, 10:19 PM

cheers. thanks 4 clearin that up

Bigelboe · 5th June 2008, 05:56 PM

I too had heard that automotive NOS was different, but a very knowledgeable friend from work told me he had investigated this and found that NOS sold in NZ is just medical grade stuff, and doesn't have any of the sulphur or anything. The medical grade stuff is much cheaper I believe, the only reason its so dear for cars is they can make it that way because there isn't really any competition.

BB4lude · 6th June 2008, 04:57 PM

yea i also heard its just other countrys that mix in sulfer our markets to small to justify it and i know people that have inhaled plenty of it without any side effects ( no i havent so dont bother flaming i havnt even done the cannisters since it was made illegal ) just what ive heard and seen tho dunno for sure
