#1: DONT RUN THE N2O UNTIL YOU GET THIS CORRECTED. Just friendly advice

#2: I would say take the timing back to 10 degrees(stock), and see if its still happening. I would also re-check the timing after you tighten the bolt to make sure it doesent "wander" while tightening. (You can also try a higher grade with the timing at stock, and see if it make a difference)
What do the plugs look like? Lots of ash, or oil fouling?
Some other q's would be, when did this start/did it come on gradually? Last general tuneup?

Please tell me that you retard your timing when you use the nitrous?! 12 or 13 degrees btdc is fine, but if it's still pinging you need to back it off until there is no detonation. You should retard the timing down to 8 or 9 degrees btdc when using the nitrous. But check your plugs too, like KiltedBanshee said.
