The automotive nitrous contains sulphur so you cant abuse it (it will burn your eyes and throat)
No one can buy the medical grade nitrous over the counter.

what i heard was the car was in the mud and the exhaust fumes came up through the gearstick boot making the driver pass out. he was then airlifted to adelaide. im assuming the additiona of nitrous gas to the already bad fumes makes it worse. this year was compulsory windows down in the water/mud and no nitrous

As said before NOS is safe.

its not fule and will not burn on its own, it is an oxidised and only ads more oxygen to the fuel mix, allowing more fuel to be burnt = more power. its often argued as a form of forced induction simmilar to a turbo or blower.

i ran a 80 shot then a 200 shot in my one tonner with the 308. as long as you get enough fuel in there it will never harm the engine, but it can be very tricky to get running right. you have to set up the jets, fuel pressure, bottle temp, run different timing, different temp range plugs. its not as easy as just bolt it up and away you go.

also the power comes on hard! like someone just ran into the back of your car, its hard to put such a big shot of power to the ground with out wheelspin.

if something goes wrong, it goes VERY wrong, but if it goes right its VERY fast!

iv still got the bottles on the tonner, but havent used them with the new engine combo yet!

To answer the origional question;

CCDA aren't allowing NOS, regardless of fuel status as mentioned by steve the Marshall trainer.

Since alot of comps state that the vehicle must be roadworthy and legal it would exclude Nitrous anyway..........not that the roadworthy and legal bit is really paid that much attention to anyway.

I ran a Madden NOS (we used the NOS term 20 years ago) 350 fogger system on a BB Dodge back in my drag racing days, these are the systems I'm used to and in no way could you use them on the dirt, rocks or what ever without breaking stuff.
Obviously times & engineering has changed allowing you to run a motor with constant NOS delivery, I'm thinking it would be a small amount so as to not break the driveline.
Cheers

Maybe it's a safety thing, afterall that's why we can't run it on road, isn't it?
Nos is perfectly safe, it doesnt burn!
Im not sure why nos isnt legal on road probably because of the power increase it gives, or the change in emissions it produces, it doesnt matter anyway people run 37's on the road they cant exactly be called "safe" on 80% of the cars running them
N2O systems are not allowed on road going vehicles for a multitude of reasons, the main one being that there is NO Australian standard defining the fitment or regulation of the fitment so therefor it's outlawed.
Any one with a little common sense can spot fifty reasons why there is a potential for danger with back yard fitment..

As for SAFE???.. LPG is perfectly safe as well... unless you introduce an ignition source!.. Define safe. We are talking about a gas here that will introduce 10-20 times the amount of oxygen to igniton over our natural atmosphere.. that's no different to introducing about 200 times as much fuel.
The N2O burns... so therefore is a fuel. if we remove the oxygen we remove the fire. NOS should not be taken light heartedly as there are many dangers involved.
