    There are none. And the Skyline Shop was never "good". Find a friend that knows their way well around a GTR.

    yes... I have a Miata. no... I'm not gay.

    Is monkey nutz open in port coquitlam yet? If no one knows, ill take a drive around where they are supposed to be tommorow morning. Someone was saying that they aren't officially open, but have some some work on a few cars. Who knows?

    I'll let you know if I find anything. I'd trust the guys at monkeynutz based on the fact that they were techs at Ztune, and haven't done me wrong in the past. Work was always good and done properly, so... Yeah.

    Plus, Andrew owns a pretty rad GTR, so I can imagine he would know what to look for.

    edit: port coquitlam is like 50 minutes away from abbotsford, I guess?

    fyi: Use NGK coppers if you buy it to fix the spark plug blowout. don'tl let anyone convince you that $100+ for spark plugs is a good idea. It is not.

    Make sure it has legit papers. If it's "never been insured in Canada" that means a normal ICBC transfer form is useless since there is no BC Regi. Take Ben (Dah_hunter) with you for sure, since he can tell you if all the proper paperwork is there.

    You need, Form 1, Export certificate, original bill of sale from Japan + a bunch of other crap.

    yes... I have a Miata. no... I'm not gay.
