And no-one will post a pressurized cylinder. I went throught this same problem when I first tried Nos, as getting gas here is also very difficult. I did eventually manage to get a supply of gas myself though, but still dont think its worth it.
Its a waste of time and money as far as I'm concerned, unless it is purely for drag racing.
A lot of people just want the "Fast and Furious" effect tho, and the pub talk.

motomc1 , don't get me wrong, you are getting good results from nos - but perhaps it is just me, but I feel it is cheating. You won't have that power all the time, and as soon as the gas runs out, or you dont have it on - you will be back down to "normal".
I prefer to have a car with the power available whenever I so choose - if you see what I mean??
Out of curiousty, how much does it cost to fill up a tank? and how long would it last if you used it all the time, when you put your foot down?

52 pounds to fill up last me about a week if i use it three time a night THREE TIME I.E THROUGHT THE GEARS FIRST TO FOURTH.also im not in the car that much because im racing moto x bikes so most of the time just sits .and when i sell the car ill take it of and pop it on the next one ..

Id guess a 10lb bottle would at absolute most give 2 mins WOT with 60-70bhp jets. Probably a lot less though.
It may be a quick fix for having no power, but long term it is bloody expensive. It is hassle having to heat the bottle ( the pressure is simply too low at ambient temps here, as ideally the pressure needs to be 900psi-100psi, which is about 28degC bottle temp. ) Even a 10lb bottle will effectively be useless with anything under 2-3lb anyway, as the pressure will start to drop dramatically below this.
Nos bottles are expensive, unless you go for a cheapy kit like the UK suppliers, who just use old CO2 Fire extinguisher bottles, and still probably charge a fortune anyway. They may be all polished and shiny, but thats what they are.
As for cheating, I dont think thats really fair, but for my money, I would want the power to be available 24/7, not just when I have forked out for an expensive refill of gas that will only last a matter of seconds.
It may seem like cheap power initially, but it isnt. Unless you are drag racing, I cant see any justification for using it. ( Unless you like to blab to everyone... "Ive got nitrous" and put a ridiculously huge big red NOS switch on the middle of the dash for all to see, then go far a race, just to get stuffed anyway after your bottle runs out.

I fitted it to a friends Hyundai Coupe. Extra 70bhp. Only tried it, as I had never used it before, and there wasnt anything available off the shelf for the car. Was a lot of hassle
