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.............

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
