hi all,

ive been discussing the possiblity of going to working in Japan with my brother,

and he says english teachers only get 30,000 a year in japan these days. is this true?

he also said id need to find a place to live because his apartment is too small.

So what do you all do? and if you dont' me asking what does it pay?

Thanks in advance

Shingo

the average NOVA slave gets paid less than that in many cases.. chain schools in Japan are like working for Maccas. fast food english..

Im lucky enough to work or a university. Do private lessons on the side to boost the income..make enough money thats for sure..

you can do it for sure but deciding whether you will be short or long term will also dictate how serious your job offers get,...

Hey man,

i've been looking into doing the same thing, I've done a bit of a search and from what I could see the pay seemed quite decent, unless the places I've been looking in to are full of it. Some of the teaching places also supply accomodation, depending on who you work for. Teach International is the place I'm thinking of going through, from what I've read Nova has heaps of places and jobs but I think the pay and conditions are pretty poor.

in all honesty i cannot understand how people can go to a country they cannot understand and get paid less than 30grand a year!?!?

how much do these ppl end up saving up? LOL

:rolleyes:

i'd love to go over to japan for a while, but im stuck here in Australia coz of my massive loan (30grand, which was for my car) so yeah....

problem is we got a japanese girl at my work on a working holiday visa which ive become quite fond of, and i dont want her to leave :D

gotta make the most of the last few months :'(

You could always follow her back to her 'ununderstandable' country and get paid less than $30K a year... :D

In all honesty I can't understand why you would get a car loan for 30g.

I am one of those ununderstandable people living in a country I can't (actually can, thanks anyway) understand getting paid less than 30g a year and manage to own three cars with no loan.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Shit we must end up saving a bit, even with huge car habits hitting the track every two weeks drifting touge like there is no tomorrow.

Just because you have a loan, doesnt mean you cant come over here..you just have to put money into the account their taking it from regularly...

sell the car. that would help and besides you would get one so much cheaper here.

i did that for a year and a half...between 500 and 800 dollars a month..

not easy but its done now.

hrmmm...

i wouldnt be able to earn 50k thats for sure....

i have no "skills" so yeah.

and my loan is actually 2... one was 22k then the other 5k.

it was for buying a car then rebuilding it etc etc...the fkn motor is costing me a lot, and so are my mistakes.

So who here has undergone english teaching courses in aus? Just like to know what are the pre-requisites to learne to teach...and if possible let me know how much the courses genrally are ^^.

thanxu

i beleive you just need a bachelors degree of any sort to qualify.

mighty fine ass you got there zman...

perfect 10.

i think the previous post was regarding doing that in oz, and if it is its a completely different ballgame.

if it isnt, you dont even need a degree to teach here.

some monkeys get a job here straight out of highschool..

Yeah looking at doing a course in aus to teach in japan. I dnt really know what other jobs you can get (long term) in japan other than professionalised jobs. As far as i know working visa's are granted in 1 year lengths. Ive heard all sorts of things about visa, some of which state you cannot earn more than a certain amount of income?? Is there any other ways of staying long-ish term without marrying someone over there? not that japanese chicks arent hot, i just dont know anyone over there :thumbsup:

dodgey sign language maybe? hahaha! If im lucky i will find someone over there who speaks english.....then marry them?? but am gonna start doing some night classes at uni so i dnt look like a total noob lol but know what ya mean its bout as challenging as having sex in a prickle bush :S . Whats the ave cost for an apartment over there, looking at osaka area?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
