Yeah easy enough to fill once you find out where Praxair says they should be able to they have 3-4 locations in teh GTA and a few places out East will fill it as well. 5lb tank is about $25. Nitrous is about $45 if I remember right.

Holy crap where are you getting yours. My local shop is selling it far cheaper. I think I paid $45 for my tank. But maybe it goes up and down like reg gas. I dunno.

That was an actual NOS retailer, however the local shops for the no name brands aren't too much cheaper, I must get you to fill mine in the future.

Out with the old (yet expensive and more reliable)
In with the new (inexpensive, fairly reliable yet recirculating)

Re: FarShark's R32 Skyline GT-R
Everytime I shift, the BOVs open letting out some of my boost that has already been built. This is normal because its overpressure protection so that I dont get compressor surge and reduce the life of my turbos.
However, when I do lift off the throttle, or shift since I lose a bit of my boost, I dont have the same boost pressure when I am back on the throttle, so there is a bit of lag. This will be the case with any externally vented BoV, unless it is undersized or you are running very high boost.
In brief, so I have more power (the power that was being lost) between shifts and when off/on the throttle.

Nice. Yeah good idea with that ride. Just like the Solstice. Although I think I want the Subaru to vent outside though.

That's a sweet video! Loving the skyline! unique idea with the c02 spray kit and adding a bit of water, I've seen this done once before and now it haunts me that i cant think of where and on what. Any thing else going on before the season?

Re: FarShark's R32 Skyline GT-R
Thanks.
Well there have been a few instances where my front lip has been damaged (serverely) cone on the track, a cat on a country road, cutting across the grass at TMP to avoid the pedestrian traffic. So for one I want to fix it (again..) and also finish the bottle mounts and button install for the spray kit. And lastly and equally as important my boost controller, I've been running stock 12psi, and I'm not planning on running much more about 14 psi to keep my turbos alive for another year or so. The extra 2 psi will help a bit more with throttle response on the current cams

Re: FarShark's R32 Skyline GT-R
You should do a Gone in 60 Seconds gt500 aka the " go baby go" button on the shift knob.
I'm assuming they are still stock turbos? or at least stock since you got the vehicle. the only r32 ive ever driven still had the boost restrictor in it

Re: FarShark's R32 Skyline GT-R
Restrictor in is about 9psi, out is about 12psi. This is based on my experience, wiki and every skyline source says 12psi with restrictor and 14psi without but that's not the case, at least not for me.
The button will be on the wheel since I plan to use it on the track, and I don't want my hands off the wheel unless I'm shifting
