I'd be in. (Maybe not for the dyno - had it dyno'd before, and since it was stock and still is stock, I'm not expecting too much improvement. :) )

Sooo... does that mean you're not selling it, John?

yep after the track day i'm hooked on the little car..still would like a gtr as a daily driver and turn the gtir into a bit of a track weapon..had no trouble keeping up will modded sti's at the track day. i'll talk to some of the scooby guys in the area and see where yhe best 4wd dyno is..we could meet up with the toronto nissan club maybee after or come back to mine for a barbq or something.

Glad you're sticking with the R for the track - someone needs to have one out there. :)

As for dyno's, the ones that I know about are:

Four Star in Georgetown - I went to a dyno day with SPDA and the DSM club and it was arranged by Tashko. It seemd to me like an odd brand of dyno ("Possum Bourne Signature Series Dyno") and they will run your car on it, which I had no problem with since I've never done a dyno run before. When I was there, Frank did say that they had a GTI-R themselves at some point. They're mostly Subaru guys now though... It's the only dyno day I have done, but they seemed to know what they are doing. They even fixed a plumbing issue on one of the Subaru's and re-ran it (with much better results) after Frank felt something was wrong.

Magnus in Concord. Never been there. SGR is doing their annual car wash / dyno day there in 2 weeks - an opportunity to check them out.

Neetronics apparently has a 4wd dyno now.
And there's Japanese Autoworks (Yoshio) near Yorkdale.
