What would a '09 GTR sell for here? $90-120K [i didn't look, just guessing], if you could buy half cuts less engine and do conversions etc it would make it worthwhile to do as a business maybe?

$18k for car, $10K for freight, $10K for compliance, how much for L>R???$20K???

I'm not sure about the laws ect in doing that sort of thing, but the maths looks good.

Makes sense since there is A lambo for 26k !

Must move to America !

i now know how these twin turb lambos come about, if they're that affordable in amerika, makes sense that people will do to them, what people do to skylines here.

still say most of you are dreamng.

the average wage is $5-10/hr and from there you could see $300 or so a week. once you paid your rent and expenses you do not have a lot left.

as a marker I had two jobs and a house payment when I lived there up till 97 when I moved here.

the two jobs idea made it bearable.

yes things are cheaper there but the wages are half or 1/4 of what they are here.

food for thought.

i was having a look around for jobs in my line of work

similar levels of pay... $80-$100K in US too (based on my level of education and experience)... not bad considering living costs are half over there

seriously going to annoy work for a secondment now

how much are chemical engineers paid in the great US of A?

2 dorra.

Living in the US would be sweet. Everything seems awesome over there, I've been buying R/C and dirt bike gear from the US for years. Just need to make sure you have a job that pays well and includes health cover and a car with a big bullbar so when you drive on the left side of the road like God intended, you wouldn't need to use your health care.

thats for sure. i was actually considering a working holiday over there in two years. however doesnt look like it will happen as i may be over 30.

Tho would a skilled worker have a chance? (electrician?) can you get sponsors like what you get here?

i been there something like 8 times over the past 10 years, definitely like to visit :)

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
