The GTR beast is awake after almost 1 year....updated Feb. 1

One sweet GTR you have there! I hope to see it around Victoria. Looks like the tires were installed at Tires Unlimited?

I'm glad to hear Progressive is skilled with the GTR. I've had them do work for me on my current car and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again.

I bought the tires from Discount Tire in Bellingham Washington,they also did the installation.They were really nice and very professional.The amount of "looky loo's" was crazy!

so what did that crate motor set you back? did you just go to nissan and order it? I was thinking about doing that with an sr for my s13.

I bought my engine from one of the sponsers here.

Shipped to Victoria from Vancouver was around $6300 CDN.I would NOT recommend using that sponser though.There is a Nissan dealer in Richmond that can order N1 engines and my engine,which has the crankshaft issue solved.You can just walk in and order an engine.A guy on this forum bought an N1 longblock and it only took 1 month to arrive from the date of order.This was while I waited about 7 months for my engine to arrive.I would trust a large purchase like this with a Nissan dealer and not shady Joe Feast in Japan.

Added Blitz SBC id3 boost controller with the extra harness to monitor 3 engine funtions from the ecu.I wanted to set it for 1.2 or 1.3 bar but I can't get over 1.06 without detonation.When I did a test run on 1.2 it pulled like a train and sucked me back in my seat for a second before I let off the throttle because of the detonation.I put in NGK 7's gapped @ .8 mm,I also have a Mines ECU so I am guessing the agressive tune has somethnig to do with it.I think I will switch to the NGK 9's and take out a few degrees of timing before for the time being until i buy a new ECU.It is kind of a toss up between the Apexi Power FC or HKS V-pro with the navigator.

thanks for the ticket Jason!! lol

Blitz SBCID3 is nice

thanks for the ticket Jason!! lol

Blitz SBCID3 is nice

What ticket?????? You can thank GTRGirl for that one!lol.

Switched to NGK 9's from 7's gapped @ .8mm today seemed to help a little bit with detonation....I'm not going to go over 1.06 until I ditch the Mines ECU and pick up a Power FC or HKS.Spark plugs were $9.50 each from Napa!
