no prob.
took us like 2 1/2 hours to get the power ring on
other than that it went smoothly.
In the time it took Bos to take the FP sending unit off and put it back on I had already:
-cut, measured and assembled the shelf for the bottle
-ran the main line
-hid the main line
-played with the blowdown tube
-and mounted all the brackets and bottle
jeesh what a slow worker

How much did Bill have to drink? I mean that is the face of someone that has been drinking or there was a nitrous leak and he is high!
I like the control switches, but I decided to build my own with aircraft switches and led lights. Even had it engraved with "GO BABY GO". At the car show, it gets noticed more then anything else on the car. Had a bunch of people ask me to make them one. Pretty simple, anodized plate...drill it for the switches, add led lights and wire it up. Engraving cost me 4 bucks. I should post a pic of it.

I will thanks again man...
The main problem I ran into was that we bought 2 T fittings to run the FP sender to and the FPSS, and the FPSS needs another connect as does the FP sender unit, then I had to reconnect it together from how it was to begin with and I let the teflon paste dry for like an hour....Pain in the ***.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
We were just test fitting the NX switch panel, is everyone elses very loose like that too?? I am going to buy one of those SLP TC delete things so I can just shove it under the console.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Hey BOS...about thr SLP gadget...
I have one and it works fine, but you may NOT want to completely tuck the factory switch away, because the SLP reverser switch is designed to work only if you go from the ON to START within a few seconds. If you have the ignition on, then wait more than just a few seconds before you fire it up, it won't disable the TCS.
If the factory switch is totally hidden, then you'll have to restart the car to disable the TCS from time to time. Kind of a pain in the ***, but no big deal if you're switch is handy.

Yeah bos, it was loose in me and slowhawks too. I just used the rubber boot that was in that opening and folded it over, tucked the whole unit in and viola.

Hey Shawn, did you teflon the lines and connectings around the power ring, or are those just bolted on, no sense in taking them all apart if they are already done right..

Looks good man! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Is it possible for you to email me a copy(pic) of your bottle base with the measurments readable? I've really wanted to make one of those bases for a while...TIA.

Bos, I've read threads that say DON'T use teflon tape on fittings. The power ring fittings were sealed from TNT with a teflon paste. (they say the tape can work itself loose and get it the jets or something like that). I know you DON'T need it with any of the -an fittings.
