Nitrous Oxide in Victoria

[stiffsimon]

Hi

I might have the option of getting a nitrous kit but being a Pom I'm not sure of the legalities of running a nitrous bike on the road here in Australia [?]. Anybody know what the law is regarding this. Ta

[MONO]

Yes it is illegal to not run a nitrous bike on the road here in Australia [:0], so you better fit it before DEPT of Transport find out!![xx(]

[xa-mont]

i think you can have it fitted, but not connected (no physical pipe connecting it as far as i know) to keep it road legal.

I saw a really great GSX1400 that looked completely stock but had the nitrous hidden under the rear seat.

Monty you are on the money.

I had it on my bandit for a while but i had it well hidden in the ductail and I was very selective of where I used it ......mainly because I had to travel 200 klms just to fill bottles

[stiffsimon]

OK thanks for that. I'm sure that there are some "options" though :D

[BANDITROD]

There certainly are mate

Yep current rules are fitted is fine, but bottle line must be disconnected at the bottle at all times on roads.

Where does it stand with carrying a oxidiser near an ign source , you could be in the same boat as the guy fined 25g's today because his oxy set blew up in his van when he hit the remote unlock, minor gas leak and BOOM
Regs on having a bottle at all or having it disconnected vary from state to state.
If anyone was interested a guy i know is selling a 40hp dry kit to suit busa, with 4 outlet head in airbox and the flash tune to suit and flash type nos wiring harness included let me know and i'll send you his number, kit is in Bendigo

Nos is alot safer then Oxy, seems Here in Vic as long as the bottle is mounted safe and not in a silly spot (might grind away in a drop/fall) Had a long chat with Vic roads and the coppers about a month back on this very subject. All started over a dumb as copper who said my alu radiator catch can was a Nos bottle in use lol

Here's an interesting one for you guys having trouble filling NOS
you can get a G code size bottle of NOS from Linde or BOC and get an LP compressor, then use a NOS booster to suck the bugger dry at home.
Nice cheap way of maximising your NOS opportunities.

How do I know - because we sell NOS boosters to drag racers up in sunny QLD and they are much cheaper than you think.........

Tell me more pls

Could be , just heard the results of the court case on the radio

[Redmohawk]

Large , just turn your G size upside down (assuming its a non siphon bottle) and use a hose to fill your smaller one. Is just the same deal as LPG (except you need to fill bottle to correct weight Ie put bottle on scales as you fill) gravity feed with perge valve open till weight of bottle is right then shut fill and purge valve etc etc.

On a side note if your loooking to distroy the ozone layer this stuff is about 300 times more effective than Co2 lol
