okay just so that i can understand better, then how does the kit work without a timing schedule? So with my kit I can't adjust the RPM spray levels? Does it have a predetermined RPM set? If not, then to make this safe and usable I need a window switch, EGT gauge, A/F gauge, and that's it pretty much. Right? My computer is really slow and it takes forever to load these pages. Sorry.

To set it up to run and cut off at a certain RPM, you will need a window switch. Anything over a 50 shot, get the guages. Good luck.

Im not too familiar with the NOS window switch. Email Thomas(SX7R) and ask him, I think he has one.

I have a 5122 kit. It was meant for an Integra, so what do I need to do to make it a 5124 kit? I was told everything is the same except the 5122 has a smaller jet. Thanks.

5122 comes with a .032 jet which is a 50shot. the 5124 kit comes with a .036 jet which is a 70 shot. everything else in the kit is the same, so you just have to get a .036 jet for the fan spray nozzle.

that's not a window switch. it's just an rpm activated switch, it will only turn the nitrous on, but won't shut it off - so it's not a "window switch". but if you have an automatic, that should be all you need anyway because the auto tranny shifts up by itself.

Does anyone have pictures of their installed NOS?
Especially the solenoids and jets going into intake.

I have a JWT Popcharger, where is the best place to install the jets? Any advise and pics would be appreciated.

Yes, I have in a way. I have not been paid yet, and I am now toying with keeping it. It is the alternative and the closest I will ever get to having a S/C. Last present to my self before i get married.
I am just worried about the install and tranny trouble.

Get a tranny cooler and VB mod= no tranny problems. It's not like your using it all the time, only for a few seconds, at most what, 14.5 or so (1/4 mile) so the wear is minimal. Install, just take your time, anything worth doing is worth doing right, if you need help, just ask any of the NOS guys on the board. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The NX is a wet kit, which I would not reccomend using on the Maxima. Just my $.02.

retard what?

I read that with these mods a retard is needed for every HP gain a few degrees. How do you do that in a 5th gen?

you can not do it in a 5th gen. The only way to retard your timing is to have the JWT ECU upgrade, which is only available for 95-96 and earlier models.

The absolute ideal way is to retard the timing, but on 97-99's and 5th gens that is not possible. What you do need to have though is the right fuel pressure, colder spark plugs, and a reduced gap, and check your plugs often for detonation. I'm just starting to run my .047 and no probs so far...

I just have a couple of quick questions. With a 50 shot kit, is it safe to assume I don't need anything else besides the kit? Is it really a WHOLE lot harder to install without a CAI? Also I have an auto tranny. Would my stock auto tranny be able to handle 50 shots? Would I need a window switch with my auto, or only recommended with a 5speed? I'm guessing the tank can't be left open for a long time, what is the longest period the tank can be left open? Last question, where do you get the tank charged with nitrous? Specifically in Atlanta. Thanks!

Fill your bottle: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...S/NOSlist.html
I accidently left my bottle on for 2 weeks once. If your gonna get NOS, why not upgrade your intake? You can get a window switch, It will keep you from spraying between shifts and take some stress off of your tranny, not to mention protect from the unknown...

OK I have ordered the JCWhitney kit and the MSD window switch:
I just want to make sure that is all I need for my '95 automatic, since I'll be having someone else install it.

You will need at least one Fuel 'T' fitting, I think the size is 3/8, you can get them at your local auto parts store, and some extra fuel hose to run your FPSS. You will also need some Teflon Paste, which you can usually get in the plumbing section of your local hardware store. I would also get a little bit of extra wire, just in case, and an extra switch. I run two switches just in case I accidently flip one, it doesn't arm the whole system. If you don't have a tranny cooler, get one of those too. Good luck.

Read the manual, the 5122 has a 50 shot jet, the 5123 has a 60, and the 5124 has a 70 shot. That's what my manual says.

Read the manual though. Tell me how many jets the 5124 kit comes with. It comes with a jet for 70 hp. You can adjust it by buying new jets, but the kit comes from Holley jetted for 70 hp.

MSD Ignition RPM switch

Now I hear that the switch needs to be sent to MSD so that they can modify it so that it will work in the Maxima. Is this true. I remember reading about this but a thread I read said that it the MSD guys said it will work for our cars. What is the right way to go. I have my NOS kit waiting in the house. Can I put the kit on and then add the switch later or do it all at once?

Re: MSD Ignition RPM switch

DOM: You can install your kit and add the MSD window switch later. It needs to be sent to MSD to be modified to work with a distributorless ignition, cost about $35 and you can usually have it back within a week.

Shadow and BlingedMax: Why are you guys argueing over the jet sizes? Who cares? It comes with a 50 shot, a 60 shot, and a 70 shot, or a .032, .034, .036, and a .042 for the fuel jetting. Okay!
