    • Next time you're removing stickers from windows, I'd take either a heat gun, or even a blow dryer would be hot enough to the stickers as you're scrapping them. It'll soften the adhesive and make removing them a lot easier and less risk of scratching the glass. But great find on the GTR!

  • Dodson makes some of the best bike transmissions for gtr’s. Upwards of 2000hp in some builds. VERY well known in the gtr community. This was the buy of the year for you I’m sure. $46k for a lightly modded gtr with a built trans leaves a fair amount of funding for maybe some 6266 snails (1000hp+ maybe?) and fueling system. I love how far your channel has come in the multiple years I’ve been watching. You give me old school power block feels from spike tv. PLEASE don’t ever go mainstream production and lose this feel.

Didn't have tra s codes, engine codes, etc. Ran on e85. I test drove it. It was a way better deal than Alex overpaying $9,000 on the red GTR.

  • Canadian here (and have brought cars in from the states). Yep DRL required up here to be enabled at import. Also since it was an American car brought into Canada it likely had the cluster swapped since the speedo also had to be converted since the speedo was in km. Govt requires you to put cheesy stickers on the speedo with the new numbers but most people replace the cluster. The cluster likely did the Imperial to metric odometer conversion internally and won't display the Imperial so you can't falsely display it lower. If you swap back for a Imperial cluster it'll probably show the right mileage.

  • As a Canadian, yes daytime running lights are required by law but the way they are implemented differs from model to model. Many of them can be turned off when parked, on the GTR they turn off when the headlights are on, though there is a common mod to prevent that.

They are another trans builder that has been around since the early days. I will say if this has a full aftermarket gear set it was making some real power at one point. Would be worth checking the block as well for forged internals.

  • I bought a clean one owner 95 Chevy pickup. Ac blew ice cold but the compressor was making a lot of noise so ti save from it blowing up and putting metal in the system I threw a new compressor on it yesterday charged it. This old truck is all original paint and it really clean. Even the inside of the bed never hauled more then maybe trash bags. It doesn’t even have any dents in the bed or on the top of the bed rails. I love it. Only the 4.3 WT edition but we can 350 swap it later. For now I’m enjoying it a lot.

    • If it blew up, you MUST replace the condenser, orfous tube, and the dryer. The dryer has a rubber bladder in it and will get cut up and it will grow the metal back into the new compressor. If you don't replace all these, that compressor warranty is voided if it breaks. Just a heads up. Condenser, orfous tube, and dryer are only about $150 more on top of the compressor. If you are DIY. Once you have all apart, get AC flush. Use a shop air compressor bottle that you pour the cleaner into and then blow it through the lines one by one until they are all clear. DO NOT USE WATER!¡!!!!! It it's just the AC lines and no expansion or orfous tube, you can use brake clean.
