is pretty much the best looking and multi functional kit available.

However a much cheaper alternative is a standard blow-down tube.

theres many different options for them.

I like the universal kit the best, it gives you the flexibility in which you can snake the AN line through a nearby drain hole or such. The fixed tube depending where you mount the bottle will surely need a fresh hole drilled through the sheetmetal.

You could probably rig up your own for a little less cost as well, you would just need a length of AN hose and the corresponding fitting to connect to the bottle.

I made my blow down set-up using a braided line and angle connections for considerably less than the cost of the universal kit. My bottle is located in the wheel well so I used the drain hole and secured it. Clean look and very accomodating of the tight space. Will be happy to provide pics when I get the car back next weekend.

Thanks!

Hey Chris, if your not doing anything on Sun. stop by between 9am to 2pm. We'll be finishing up the nitrous, hopefully. Rick
PS, maybe you can make sure we are wiring up the 685 correctly.

This is not my Z, but was the inspiration behind using the braided line setup a few years back.

Where did you guys get all the fittings to do the flexible tube?? I am going to ultimately need two kits since I will be running two bottles.

I plan on putting the bottles behind my seats after I delete the rears. I was just going to run the blowdown tubes down to the floorboard and drill some holes in floorboard then have a fitting actually screwed into the floorboard so eliminate road noise.

Standard -8AN fittings and hose, available from any number of sources. The one that goes through the floor is called a "bulkhead" fitting.

I'm in the process of moving my bottle to the hump between the (no longer there) rear seats using the Nitrous Outlet bottle mount. Then I'll have to figure out how to hook up the blowdown hose, hopefully without reworking it.

How does the "bulkhead" fitting attach to the floor board? Does it screw in?

Nevermind, I just searched it on summit and found them. Thanks Injuneer.

Ok so here is the list of stuff I think I need. Tell me if I'm wrong or right.

-8AN bulkhead fitting x 2
-8AN hose (about 3 ft or more)
90 degree -8AN hose ends x 2
straigh -8AN hose ends x 2
2 blow off valve adaptors (nitro daves)

sound about right for two different blow off valves to be mounted in my back seat?

with the bulk head fitting make sure they come with the bulk head nuts

but other than that it looks good.

Yes they do. Thanks ray. BTW, do you have a link for the blow down tube attachment that goes to the bottle?
