if you'd like to live a normal life in australia, or something close to it, you'd want a work visa. It allows you to work for up to 6 months with an employer (after which you just change employers) on a part time or casual basis. You're allowed to drive on an international license for 3 months I think.

Most people who travel with no work visa do cash jobs and no paper trail... but then you won't be covered by OHS laws etc if something happens to you at work.

Talk to your local Australian embassy, they should be able to give you all the options, paperwork etc.

After your year is over, you can fly back, apply and come back. Basically you become an illegal immigrant after overstaying your visa :thumbsup: you get taken out to a detention camp in the middle of the australian outback, stripped and raped by big samoan/maori guys.

ok maybe I made that last bit up, they don't strip you.

yes he means western australia, but nsw is where its at :)

Like the man says. Western Australia.

Seriously, best thing to do imho is 1. Check out Oz Embassy in your area with your legit questions, 2. Find suitable job or job prospects in OZ at preferred location/state capital. (www.seek.com.au) 4. Look for accom in the area in which potential job(s) is.

Done.

Cheers & good luck. GW

PS: Major No-no to try to screw immigration authoritys around. Very bad move. Could be fatal.

PPS: If you have trade or tertiary skills (too lazy to read all of thread) WA is screamin for people to join the work skilled force. Could maybe get sponsored after trial period. You never know.............

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
