tired of people saying NOS
 
NOS is just a brandname of Nitrous Oxide. Thats what it really is Nitrous Oxide or Nitro for short not NOS, NOS is a brand made by HOLLY. There are other brands such as VENOM, ZEX, and ELDRILOCK. So stop saying NOS because thats not what its called it is just a famous brand because of the movie "The Fast and The Furious"

People are saying NOS because of how the engine has been described in the fast and furious ZZ set. They actually call it the NOS motor...

They don't call it a 2.4 / 2.6 or whatever. They say the NOS motor. So you may have to endure the NOS brand as the ZZ fast motor name.

ps. NOS NOS NOS NOS! jk :)

HEY ghost of akina you are now like my brother now i argued about the same exact thing the one day i never say "NOS" i say nitrous oxide or nitrous after the fast and the furious all these stupid teeny bobbers started saying NOS and it reallllllllllllly got on my nerve so now everytime someone says that i have to argue with them im glad we think alike :D

NOS


Well, it is the name for one of the manufacturers nitrous oxide. But even before the Fast and the Furious was released in theaters, I know a lot of people who label it as NOS. Maybe its because that it is much easier to say NOS than Nitro. Its has only one syllable basically so NOS, NOS, NOS. I'll admit, I use the word NOS rather than nitro or nitrous oxide, but I'm aware that there were different companies who manufacture Nitrous Oxides. They manufacture their own Nitrous Oxide kits to compete in the market where NOS (excuse me akina) has a lot of back for buck (I'm planning to stay away from it, I've heard about bad experiences with Nitro).

Oh, and this reminds me. This requires some good timing, if you're driving around with your friends and you reach a traffic light stop, time it so the second the light turns green, the driver pretends to hit/flip a button and everyone else in the car jerks back as though as the car has been equiped with nitrous. Very funny indeed.

NOS (sorry)

im not a fan of nitrous...i think its just cheating...unless both of the racers use it....i guess then its OK...

nitrous oxide is a gas. its made by nature. they are all the same chemical. and what nitrous has to do with electric motors im not sure.

NAWZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

My MS has two of the big ones!!!!!!!!!!

Personally the few times I ever talk about nitrous oxide I don't usually say NOS. But even when I hear others say it I know what they mean so its kind of trivial. If someone is ignorant and uses the term all the time without knowing that NOS is a brand name, then thats their problem and not mine. I could careless.

Now back in the day I used "NOS" the brand and refered to it as such just like if I use any of the other brands on the market, or could it be said "they use the bottle" like I have heard , it is all trivial. I agree that the general masses refer to Nitrous as NOS but I think that if you know better whats the point to complaining. I think it is one of those battles that are as old as Ford VS Chevy.

hogjowlz 04-15-2003 03:36 PM

"those guys" should stop talking about nitro injected electric motors cuz that doesnt exist.
