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.

Very cool that you were recognized by the GTR transmission specialist on the call. I subscribed for a variety of reasons. Not just because of your talents but also because I need to refine my plans to capture a mass audience as I step back into the scene which is night/day different than it was in 2005.

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.

@lukesa7770 Ай бұрын

@@donaldhewitt100 Do you need an inspection or is it registered and everything already? As long as you aren't driving around at night with no headlights It's very unlikely cops would care/notice at all. If you need an inspection you're hooped though.

@@travisdegen8428 we have to get inspections every two years ! Or if we buy a car from someone a new safety inspection has to be put on . We don’t do emissions like smog though. And cops here pull you over for no day time running lights no matter what sadly .. here anyway . They pull you over for anything they can …

This is by far the best YT channel related to automotive content for cars I am generally interested in. As stated multiple time, i started watching because of the original E55 content. After that a bunch of other interesting AMGs and other cars have been worked on. I wish you all the best luck with the GTR and also hope to see the CL65 coming together for final dyno pulls!

Yes, it still seems like yesterday when that beauty hit the scene. Definitely a timeless ride.

Nice find on the GTR and a good video Alex, I'm excited to see this car on the channel some more! As capable as these cars are for high hp awd launch monsters I'd like to have one as a nicely tuned daily/all weather mile muncher built for comfort on the highways and b-lines. Something more grandtour-esque over having drag radials on all four corners! :P It's also cool seeing you get recognized twice like you did, some of us really appreciate the more mechanical oriented videos over the ones where they gloss over the FUN parts and skip from purchase to "finished build" burnouts. Thanks for the longer videos to keep me company on my second monitor!

I currently have an 09 gtr FBO with turbos and built trans. If Shep doesn't have record of the car try Jacks Transmission. 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.

One of your best, Alex. From the tension of the auction through the child-like enthusiasm of the fault finding. Well done!

I love love love the little bit about laminar flow, while you were draining the trans fluid ! Little bits of knowledge, dropped here and there, that's awesome. edit: ok, this must be the score of the year. Well done Alex !
