insurance is the killer. I think thats why people dont mention it normally. You cant really have a road legal car and be insured with a nitro boost kit installed. Seems crazy but I dont make the rules

There was a NOS'd lude back in the days of PUK. I'm sure some of the older members will remember Dave "Oldgit" with his nitrous'd 4th with nostril vent purges

Oh, and as for insurance with nitrous, just don't drive on the public road with it hooked up. Simple. Obviously you still have to tell insurance you have the pipework set up for NOS, but just no NOS being run.

Few of my buddies from the old drag racing days (and just to clarify, I'm talking proper drag racing) who ran NOS found the insurance problem. We had no problem insuring a couple of 70's Chevys with twin turbo V8, or one with a supercharged V8 from a Nascar, but you put some laughing gas in your car and it's a nightmare!! So we checked up on it, and as far as I'm aware (and I'm sure Shiny can confirm on this one), it is still the case that if you have the bottle in the trunk of the car, or somewhere away from where the connectors are, it's fine. Just when you want to race, just hook the bottle up, race, and then when done, put it away again. Insurance should be made aware though that you have the connectors but just let them know that there is never NOS connected on the public road and you should be fine.

Time flys Dom it will be six years in exactly one month since Dave Rose Died!

He was one of the main reasons I joined and stayed. We had a long fun conversation at japshow the year before he died. Good laugh and the right kinds bloke in my view.

I remember Dave and his car of course, but that's not a current forum car (more's the pity). So I'm still none-the-wiser which current car on here has NOS
