Due to work, I may be getting shipped off to LA for a couple of years. While I'm out here for this trip I figured I would go and do a little browsing over the car market to see what I may end up buying if I end up out here long term. (Don't worry Steve. GTR ain't going up for sale).

Pheeew!

Would be a shame to see it go :blink:

Id go a Caddy :D

you gotta get something you can't get anywhere else.

the bonus is you get to bring it back to australia for $3k and no taxes and maybe make a profit.

You're in LA, always sunny, always parking, valet outside every restaurant, so get this for $15k:

yeah i agree with you on that one.

the most sensible thing is to just forget about WASTING money on a car...

buy one to get you from A - B...

save up to buy a property... yeah ive read an article on how cheap properties are in USA at the moment.

and plus you'd probably never would be able to own a house in australia, like many young generations here.

oh well

the choice is yours

well the way i look at it.....ur wrong

the Miata IS, the MX5 with a different name

and in japan apparently its called "Roadster"..its only called mx5 in aust

just like the Toyota Yaris.........its still called "Echo" in some countries...

and "Vitz" in various others......

and in north america its called "Belta" and asian countries "Vios"

Agreed, they're all facts, apart from the mx5 only in Aust bit. I also apologise for the confusion my sarcasm has caused.

They look good in pics......but after driving one i can definatly say you'll regret buying it after having the r32

Got recent pics of R32?

I wish I had some. I had the car all washed before I left AU and forgot. When I get back I may get a professional spread done (need a poster for my wall :D )

Mustangs are everywhere in cali. After a month you will be sick of seeing them. They're like seeing a ford falcon in sydney.

I went and visited the Turbonetics factory in Simi Valley and one of the dudes wanted to trade me his mustang for an R32.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
