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?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
