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 :)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
