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 :)

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
