the nova website seems very ambiguous and vague in its description of your life over there.... they say the housing is 'affordable' .. whats that sposed to mean!!?? do they pay for your flight over there?

So youre going to work for nova? I would love to try and work with them... I was reading their website it seems almost too good to be true! let us know how that works out akeenan!

akeenan, what kind of work are you going to be doing over there? I'm currently hoping to get my international trade degree (BEc @ Sydney) majoring also in japanese... and then work for austrade or something like that, hopefully eventually ill get over there. do share your stories!!!!!!

Hi all mods: plz dont move this ---- its not off topic --- read it I want to know how many of you on this forum are skyline lovers living the dream in japan? I'm asking you this because I really want to know how you guys got over there and, if you're into the car scene over there, how u did that. basically any stories you guys are willing to share would be of great inspiration to me, being a young and VERY eager (to live in japan and work somehow with cars) 17year old. I realise the skyline scene here in Australia is growing but obviously it all started in the land of the rising sun, and thats where I want to spend my life. I am OBSESSED with japan. everything about it. Ive been speaking the language for 6 solid years now, I'm top of the grade at a selective school... im not bragging.. im trying to show how much i love japan and how much effort i put into studying the country. thanks guys

lol thats why im limiting my involvement with cars this year. with the way my grades are going, and the school that i go to (selective), i know im going to be living in japan within half a decade for sure. maybe ill drop by to the forum every now and then when im livin it up in osaka and say: nihon kara oisatsu (greetings from japan!)

mmm, its umaremashita (was born) ... and to say "i know a little bit about skylines" would be: skairain no koto ga sukoshi shitteimasu. what you said was more like "I am a little bit skyline knowledge" hehe hope that helps

:flamed: sorry mate I just hate it when it feels like people are being arrogant towards my passion in life >> that is, speaking japanese. mannn im gona ace the HSC in 2 and 3 unit jap this year !!! japan here i commmmme :D

If you can post a picture of the tape on here i will translate for you

how cute! gaijin japanese hehe its actually "arigatou" lauren... to avoid any future confusion?!!

who asked you? kind of funny that you take offence to us speaking japanese on a forum based around cars that never would have graced your driveway without people like myself and akeenan who are bilingual and are the link between here and japan...

cronulla kara sydney no machi made ni 50km gurai kakaruyo. sydney no machi no minami ni aru. 'chichiki' wa nan darouka? sukoshi wakarinikui ... chichiki no koto wa eigo de setsumei shte kudasai

lol thanks for those words of wisdom

Hey all After joining and reading this forum for a solid 2 weeks now, the amount of knowledge that I have absorbed is astonishing. What I want to know is, as a 17 year old who knows a decent bit about cars (specifically jap cars), speaks the language of the skyline's home country almost fluently (japanese...), and is soo very eager to learn an infinitely larger amount of information about these beautiful cars is, how do all you guys (and girls!) know so much about them? I mean, some of the stuff i've read on here is like WHOA. Do a lot of you people have professional mechanical qualifications? Do you own importing dealerships? whats the story? I want to know what advice you guys have for a keen young bloke like myself, in terms of how I can come to know as much as you guys do. Thanking you guys in advance, -badman
