New old stock - a new un-used part that has been sitting in someone's inventory for years.

NOS is a brand name. N2O is the chemical symbol for nitrous oxide.

While true, NOS is also commonly used to refer to nitrous oxide systems in general, much like "Xerox" and "Kleenex" have become generic terms.

But in the context of **** parts auctions, NOS means "new old stock," as in a factory new part that has been sitting on a shelf for years.
