Nerf Bar Mounting Kit
The nerf bar mounting kit is a set of accessories that contain everything you need to install mounting brackets for nerf bars on your truck. This kit might be needed if you’ll install nerf bar steps or replace existing nerf bar mounts on your truck. Nerf bar mounting brackets attach below the truck’s body where the steps are. Nerf bars attach to the brackets in the nerf bar mounting kit and serve as replacement steps.

Nerf Bars
Nerf bars are steel, tubular fixtures located on either side of a vehicle’s body. Typically found on racing cars, nerf bars are intended to prevent tires from rubbing against each other when another vehicle gets too close.
Aside from race cars, off-road trucks and SUVs have adopted the nerf bar trend. There are also some nerf bars that double as lowered steps to make it easier to step out of lifted vehicles.

Neutral Safety Switch
A neutral safety switch functions as a safety feature in automatic transmission vehicles. This switch opens the circuit between the ignition switch and the starter to prevent starter motor operation if the gear isn’t in neutral or park.
Safety switches are usually attached to the steering column inside the vehicle. It’s located near the floor or on the side of the transmission.

Neutral Safety Switch Connector
The Neutral Safety Switch Connector is a connector for your vehicle’s neutral safety switch, which prevents your engine from starting when your car’s shifter isn’t set to park or neutral. This helps prevent the risk of starting automatic vehicles in drive or reverse mode, which can cause collisions. When you try to start your engine, the battery sends a current to your engine’s starter. However, if the neutral safety switch detects that your car isn’t in park or neutral, it’ll block that signal and prevent the engine from starting.

Nipple Kit
A Nipple Kit typically includes a metal fixture called a nipple. When used for hoses, the hose pipe nipple has a hose barb on one end and a male threaded connection on the other. Hose pipe nipples connect pipes to tubing in a vehicle. One such nipple can be found connected to the overflow hose in the radiator. It helps control the amount of coolant in the system to prevent coolant loss and pressure build-up.

Nitrogen Oxide Sensor
The nitrogen oxide sensor measures the levels of nitrogen oxide emitted by the vehicle. It helps ensure compliance with emissions regulations. Sensing when emissions are too high helps drivers minimize the output of nitrogen oxides, which can be harmful to people and the environment.
The nitrogen oxide sensor is typically near the SCR catalyst.

Nitrogen Oxide Sensor Inlet
A nitrogen oxide sensor inlet is like a plug that’s inserted into a vehicle’s exhaust. The part is composed of a plug and a length of wire that leads to connectors. This inlet sensor measures the nitrogen oxide levels in the engine’s exhaust gases before they reach the vehicle’s catalytic converter. The data is sent to a vehicle engine control unit (ECU) to determine how much diesel exhaust fluid should be injected into the exhaust gas to reduce emissions.

Nitrogen Oxide Sensor Outlet
The nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensor outlet.is the NOx sensor on the outlet of the exhaust system, It is one of two NOx sensors in your vehicle, and you might need to replace it if it sends inaccurate information. Located after the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, outlet NOx sensor keeps track of how efficient the SCR is at reducing emission levels. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the readings from the outlet and inlet NOx sensors to make adjustments to various engine processes.

Nitrogen Suspension Refill Tool
The Nitrogen Suspension Refill Tool is a type of suspension refill kit that uses nitrogen to fill in suspension parts instead of air. You can use it to tune, adjust, and recharge your vehicle’s shocks in the garage or on the go. The tool kit typically consists of a nitrogen bottle, a high-pressure hydraulic hose, a 450 psi regulator, and other tools you might need to service your nitrogen-charged suspension.

Nitrous Pressure Gauge
A Nitrous Pressure Gauge is a tool used to measure the pressure in your vehicle’s nitrous oxide system. Because the system is designed to inject nitrous oxide (N₂O) into the engine in controlled doses, maintaining the correct amount of pressure is vital for safeguarding the different parts of the engine such as the connecting rods, pistons, and crankshaft. The ideal amount of pressure in a nitrous bottle connected to the system is 900-1000 PSI.

Nose Panel
A nose panel is a body part typically found on a vehicle’s front, either below or around the grille assembly. Not all vehicles have nose panels. Only some vehicles with specific front grille designs have nose panels. Like many body panels, the nose panel also contributes to the vehicle’s styling and aerodynamics. It can be called a nose panel because the metal trim surrounds the vehicle’s grilles, making it look like the vehicle’s figurative nose. Like many body panels, the nose panel is replaced after collisions and accidents.

Nozzle Holder Seal
The nozzle holder seal is an O-ring that seals the nozzle holder of the fuel injector. This part might be needed if you’re replacing a damaged or worn-out nozzle holder seal on a fuel injector. Nozzle holder seals are mounted on the fuel injector nozzles, and they help ensure that fuel flows to the engine without interruption. The fuel injectors need the nozzle holder seals to stop excess fuel from leaking out of the parts.

Nut
A Nut is a piece of metal hardware that’s typically shaped like a square or hexagon. There are other types of nuts in different sizes and shapes, such as a wing nut or a single-thread nut. A nut serves to fasten things together and works in tandem with a matching bolt or screw. Most nuts have a hole in the center with a threaded interior to allow them to attach to the matching bolt or screw.
