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 :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
