Simple question realy,but do EuroTunnel allow N.O.S to be taken on board?Don,t want to ask them direct in case they panic!Its "Only" compressed oxygen so i would think i would be ok,but if anyone knows better.Like the idea of taking a few shots to Le Mans this year to help make the trip a bit more interesting!

I'm guessing very unlikely.

I know they don't let LPG cars on.

If you declare it - NO chance
If they dont let LPG on then what chance the MAX POWER brigade!

They let you take camping gas on the tunnel if all the cylinders are disconnected, so they might allow a disconnected NO2 cylinder.

LOL - It would take more than NOS to get the Kontiki Lounge up to that speed - but at least we had 2 fridges, cooker, over, proper beds, awning, music, TV, playstation, 12ft roofrack (for beer transportation), and our own showers

Yes its for me......er...no its for a "Friend",who asked me to ask you,its a Propane/Nos kit modulated to run between 50-250 extra BHP,but will go to Le-Mans with just the NOS Bottle.And NO i haven,t seen one blow...i guess its bad if it does...running a thermostat cooling/heating jacket on it with usual pressure monitors&cut offs so should be safe.....so my "Friend" tells me.

we have had no trouble with bottle heaters or thermostats ,seem to work ok ,i saw this honda that had a bottle explode dont know what kinda pressure it reached but he lost his rear clip looked kinda cool for a honda though.about 10 of us are going to le mans this year ,yank muscle but far from stock ,would be great if we all meet up and blast together ,i guess 500 hp aint enough hence the nitrous ,like to see that torque figure on a dyno if they could hold it down when you hit the bottle.

Sixspeed, the reason that car looks like that is just Nissan quality control.....it had nothing to do with nitrous !!
