All I know about that stuff is that it's in that car flick F&F, but is it legal in Canada and does it really make your car fly? Just looking for info, I'm definately not interested in using it.

 

it is not legal to have hooked up on public roads...

and only very big wings that produce lift plus a method of creating forward motion will make your "car" (now turned into a plane) fly....

just cause it was in F&F doesn't make it any good .. that movie was pure crap

 

^ exactly......lol....and if all you know is that it was in a movie stay away and dont touch the stuff

 

Nothing wrong with using it, just use it off road.

 

you can have it in the car, the line just has to be disconnected. Ive been pulled over many times and they tried to harass me about it.

 

yeah, i know a guy that had nitrous in his car, cops stopped him and saw that it was hooked up, bye bye nitrous the cops confiscated that

 

You can have it, but not hooked up. You also need the cmpressed gas placard on your window.

 

I think he meant "make ur car go very, very fast. Not actually get airborn and be able to fly to cuba or something?....lol

 

congrats.... did you figure that out all by yourself???

 

it's not even legal to carry a bottle of extra gasoline in your trunk...nevermind Nitrous

 

Wow. Haven't seen this question for a while. Good to see that everyone still doesn't know the law. Currently it is legal to have a nitrous system installed, connected and functioning on your car on the street. The police may hassle you and threaten you and find ways to charge you, but it is completely legal. Now then, if you're caught USING nitrous, you've got lots to worry about. Not the nitrous, but dangerous driving, racing, whatever.
There is a whole other issue however.... if your insurance company finds out you've got nitrous.... and I've heard LOTS of stories about the police phoning insurance companies, then it's very likely your insurance company will cancel your policy.
Even though it's not against the law!

 

LMAO thanks I needed that

 

I'm sorry, but do you have an actual link to some proof, because the only reason I didnt plan on getting nitrous was because I thought it was illegal.

 

Really? So it's against the law to carry extra gas in your trunk but not NOS? right...

 

Regulations, carriage of explosives, etc.

(b) regulating or prohibiting the transportation of explosives and dangerous materials or any class thereof by a vehicle on a highway;

(c) regulating the preparation and packaging of explosives and dangerous materials or any class thereof to be transported by a vehicle on a highway;

(d) requiring the labelling of packages and containers of explosives and dangerous materials or any class thereof and prescribing the labels to be attached to such packages and containers. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 112 (1).

Ok, so this is the only thing that I could find pertaining towards what could be classified is "nitrous", (by the way, NOS is something that Vin Diesel made up and doesn't actually exist, N.O.S. stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems, and Nytrous is the product), but anyway where was I. Nytrous could be classified as an explosive, because it is hooked up to your gas tank.. but if not hooked up, it is no more dangderous, providng it is bolted down to the vechile, than a Plumbers Acytelene tank, which I carry around with me everyday. But like Vanman stated Cops will phone your insurance company and they most likely will cancel your policy. But word of advice, The Highway traffic act is a 3.5"X8" book that is about 1.5" thick, and trust me there are charges in the book, from racing to an "unclear windshield" which could be anything from a crack in the window to a bug splatter you just got... which the police officer could give you a ticket for, so a cop WILL find somthing to give you a ticket for. So Even though it might suck that you just got pulled over, remember that it could get alot worse....... Thats my rant for the day

 

I always though NOS was a brand...and we used to call it NOS even before the movie came out

anyways...technically is nitrous legal?

 

If you use too much "NOS" your floor will come apart so be careful!

 

Wasn't there a link in one of the threads here to the Highway Traffic Act?

If it's gonna be anywhere it'll be in there.

 

Dont lisen to them it works great on the 401 lol

 

lmao
