I met Craig Lieberman (the movie's technicaly advisor who appears in a lot of the behind-the-scenes documentaries on the DVD) at a Nissan GT-R meet back in 2008, and he explained that a bit.

He told me that the original script had one of the NOS tubes popping off and flying around wildly, spraying nitrous around, eventually fogging up the car's windshield (since it's a cold gas). But when the movie was moving into production, one of the visual effects coordinators (or whatever the position was) insisted on wanting to see something bright instead, so they re-wrote the scene a bit and replaced the NOS mishap with the floor panel somehow detaching, scraping against the ground and sparking the way it did, hence the lack on continuity, since Vin Diesel jumps in the car and rides it just fine without being Flinstones-style.

That sounds like something Elton John would do! Haha...
