	Each depletion of nitrous is followed by a delay period when the nitrous tank "refills" and the player will not be able to use another boost right away. Players will be able to identify this by keeping tabs at the exhaust pipe(s), which will emit blue fumes while the nitrous refills. When the fumes no longer appear (releasing normal exhaust smoke instead), the player is allowed to use the nitrous again. An exploit exists that allows players to regain use of nitrous faster by simply exiting the car that is refilling its nitrous tank and immediately reentering it, thereby resetting the status of the nitrous tank and refilling the nitrous instantaneously.

Increased nitrous strength provides a longer boosting duration.

	When installed on a vehicle, the "fire" button can be pressed to activate a nitrous boost. The boost increases the speed and acceleration of the vehicle dramatically, with exaggerated motion blur and bright blue flames spewing out of the exhaust pipe(s), before the nitrous exhaust ceases after a given period of time and the vehicle may revert back to its normal top speed.

	In The Ballad of Gay Tony, nitrous is limited to use in [[Triathlon (TBOGT)\|Triathlon]]s and multiplayer [[race]]s, although the boost can be controlled. Motorcycles in Race and GTA Race multiplayer modes are also equipped with nitrous, but are often very risky to use as collisions while riding a nitrous-boosted bike are potentially fatal. Even vehicles like the [[APC]] may also be equipped with nitrous in such races.

	Much like in ''[[wp:Need for Speed\|Need for Speed]]'' and other similar games, a small tank-shaped bar next to the [[radar]] will show the amount of nitrous available, which will regenerate in time. When the nitrous amount reaches over the 45% mark, the player is ready to use the nitrous; in addition a high-pitched humming noise will be heard from the car, along with small orange fumes from the exhaust pipes. The player can continuously use the nitrous until it completely runs out, after which the player must wait until the bar refills to at least the aforementioned 45% to use the nitrous again. Unlike in GTA San Andreas, the nitrous in TBOGT can instantly catapult a vehicle to its top speed (or close to it), and the dramatic boost in speed may be shocking if the player's vehicle is traveling at a lower speed.

If done correctly, the car will attain a massive boost in speed that will easily propel it into the lead. This trick does not work in APC races.

	~~Nitrous~~ is a vehicle component that can be installed on modifiable vehicles ~~in the three available~~ [[Mod Garages\|mod garages]] ~~around the~~ [[State of San Andreas\|~~state~~]]. ~~When installed on~~ a ~~vehicle~~, ~~the "fire" button can be pressed to activate nitrous. Nitrous will increase the speed~~ and ~~acceleration dramatically~~, ~~along~~ with ~~exaggerated motion blur and bright blue flames spewing out~~ of ~~the exhaust pipe(s)~~. ~~After a few seconds the~~ nitrous ~~exhaust ceases and the vehicle may revert back to its normal top speed. The boost is followed by a delay that won't allow~~ a ~~player to use another boost right away~~.		In GTA San Andreas, nitrous is a reusable vehicle component that can be installed on modifiable vehicles at any [[Mod Garages\|mod garages]] in [[State of San Andreas\|San Andreas]]. Nitro comes in three "strengths", which include, in increasing order, 2x, shown with a small tank; 5x, with a large tank; and 10x, with a pair of small tanks. Increased nitrous strength provides a longer boasting duration.

	~~To know when you~~ can ~~fire a Nitro boost again is~~ to ~~look at the exhaust after~~ a ~~depleted boost~~. If the ~~fumes are colored~~ blue, the ~~boost is still in its "delay" state. If~~ the ~~fumes~~ revert back to ~~the~~ normal~~, grey fumes, then the Nitro is ready to be fired again~~.		When installed on a vehicle, the "fire" button can be pressed to activate a nitrous boast. The boast increases the speed and acceleration of the vehicle dramatically, with exaggerated motion blur and bright blue flames spewing out of the exhaust pipe(s), before the nitrous exhaust ceases after a given period of time and the vehicle may revert back to its normal top speed.

	~~All mod garages have nitro as an available part. nitro comes in three~~ "~~strengths~~"~~: 2x~~, ~~shown with a small~~ tank~~; 5x~~, ~~with a large~~ tank; and ~~10x, with 2 small tanks. Each option determines how long you can use a Nitro boost~~.		Each depletion of nitrous is followed by a delay period when the nitrous tank "refills" and the player will not be able to use another boost right away. Players will be able to identify this by keeping tabs at the exhaust pipe(s), which will emit blue fumes while the nitrous refills. When the fumes no longer appear (releasing normal exhaust smoke instead), the player is allowed to use the nitrous again. An exploit exists that allows players to regain use of nitrous faster by simply exiting the car that is refilling its nitrous tank and immediately reentering it, thereby resetting the status of the nitrous tank and refilling the nitrous instantaneously.

	~~There~~ is a ~~secret~~ of ~~using~~ nitrous ~~all~~ the ~~time~~, ~~just go out of your~~ car with nitrous, ~~then enter again to~~ the car ~~with~~ nitrous, ~~then~~ it ~~is ready again to use without any delay~~.		==The Ballad of Gay Tony==

			Nitrous boasts can also provide players a head start in races; this is accomplished by spinning the car's tires at the starting line (by holding the accelerator and brake/e-brake commands simultaneously), and activating the nitrous and releasing the brakes at the same time when the race starts. If done correctly, the car will attain a massive boast in speed that will easily propel it into 1st place. This trick does not work in APC races.
