I'm sure this sounds like an entirely stupid question, but hang in with me.......... I was talking to an insurance company recently, and was talking about engine modifications with the person on the phone. I asked about the potential ramifications of certain modifications on the validity of my insurance policy, and the topic of nitrous oxide came up (brought up by them, not me). The use of "nos" isn't something I'm interested in, but the way that I understood what I was told, is that they will continue to insure a vehicle using a nitrous oxide system. I'm aware that it is illegal in Queensland (to a point where you can't even have the lines in the car, IIRC).....is this different in other states? Will NSW/Vic/SA allow you to run nitrous systems in street registered cars? |

I recall reading the legislation "The fitting of ANY nitrous oxide equipment is illegal". This would cover foggers, solenoids and lines. Well this was definately True in QLD anyway. |

I do believe he ased for NSW In nsw, you can have the whole lot fitted as long as the bottle is not connected to the car, it can only be classed as "load" and is not effecting the vehicles emmision system, thus legal, i know this is true in NSW, this does NOT apply for QLD or any other state. |

This. NSW actually recognises that some people's street cars do use it on the track legitimately (or as a wanky show mod) and permit it to be fitted, provided it can't be used on the street (hence disconnected bottle). ROCK ON R~R |

ROCK ON R~R Brilliant....thanks for the answers. This leads me to another question, Which Twincam16 may have already answered.......Am I to understand that the use of, or fitting of equipment for use of nitrous oxide in Victoria is still illegal? |

It seems most of the companies are getting sneaky at how they produce kits now days anyways. Seen some pictures of one from the states, nitrous line was run next to the fuel line inside a bigger braided line. So really it looked like one line.. |

Contact vic roads and ask them, that will be your best bet, then if they tell you its ok, get them to fax you a copy. You will need it. Thanks. As I said, I've got no interest in putting a nitrous system in the car, I was just wondering for curiosity's sake.

Read my original post. I'm aware of the QLD laws; I'm asking about NSW and Victoria. |
