[Glitch]

Name: Mitch
Age: 33
Ethnicity: French Canadian (born in Sudbury, ON moved to BC soon after)
Location: Vancouver Island, BC
What I do: Co-owner/mechanic of 2G Racing (www.2gr.ca)
Why I'm here: I have been a Nissan enthusiast for many years and have built and owned several modified 510's and 240Z's. I am a past Vice President of the Vancouver Island Datsun Enthusiasts car club (VIDE) and am also the current solo director for the Island Rallysport Club (IRC). My shop specializes in Nissan performance and we are starting to get up to speed with SR20DET swaps as well as turbo conversions in old school Z's with stand alone engine management. My goal is to be one of what I think will be very few shops in BC that own, tune and race Skylines. I have much to learn, but I am eager to share tech tips with those in the know.

Name: Sean
Age: 30
Ethnicity: White - New Zealander
Location: Long Beach , CA
What I do: Nothing
Why am I here: I like to play with GT-R's.

I have been interested in GT-R's since 1991 . Car and Driver article . Went to Japan in 1991 . Saw my first Skyline on the road in LA in 1991.Wanted one ever since.

Worked at Motorex in 1999-2002. Helping out at RB Motoring from 2003.

Name: Perry
Age: 18 (creepin on 19)
Location: gritty vancity
What I do: training for auto collision apprenticeship but looking to take mechanic training- ultimate goal is to open an importing/tuning shop ala RB Motoring. I got introduced to GT-Rs and cars in general by Gran Turismo 1 back on the PS1. I've always thought of it as the most succesful use of compromise in a car ever because of its driver-oriented feel and performance potential with usability for day-to-day driving.

P.S. Everyone who aspires to do serious mods on a GT-R here, Sean is like the white Mr. Nagata from Top Secret (that means he knows a helluvalot) some knowledge has to come from all those tossed rods and blown N1 blocks...

[GTRPower]

Name: Nick
Age: 33
Ethnicity: ABC
Location: Usually Chicago, IL- Dallas, TX- Orlando, FL- LA, CA
What I do: Dabble in real estate
Why am I here: I believe GT-Rs are done "right."

Actually some of this sounds similar to Sean's. I have been interested in GT-Rs since 1991. Car and Driver article.

Bought my GT-R in 1992 new in Hong Kong, via Nissan/Prince Ginza, at the time one of less than 10 in Hong Kong. Been playing around with it ever since. Brought it to the US in Febuary 1999 via MotoRex. First customer car in the US- seen in many, many shows on loan to MotoRex... more than I'll probably ever know.

I have been actively goofing off with my GT-R for over 11 years. I probably know quite a few of the nuts and bolts of the car...

Been into cars since the age of 13 when my dad had a Mustang. Really got into Japanese cars since then and have been wanting a Skyline. Heard they were gona be legalized in Canada in 2004 so started making searches, ended up contacting JohnnyZ by email and he directed me here!

Nice to meet other people interested in importing Skylines to Canada!
