Well your welcome to come and join SAU QLD anytime you want man.

Ive been a long time reader of the japan section of the forums and envy your location. But nothing beats Brisbane as home.

Thank you very much Colin, I might just do that :cheers:

Hey Andrew, whats this about your visa?

good to see your seeing the positive out of your redundency. i remember you saying a while ago that you wanna leave so maybe its just the kick that ya need!

good on ya mate for putting so much time into answering everyones questions (even the lazy questions)

Teaching jobs are a dime a dozen. Why not just get another?
Dime a dozen eh? :P Depends if you want to teach kids or not.

I guess any *normal* human being can only teach English for 5 years max... any longer and you must be some kind of super-genki cyborg teaching masochist or a bloody wierdo :rofl: So I've done my 5 year stint so teaching is out of the question.

Like I said to Gojira yesterday, I'll stay in Japan longer ONLY if I can find a 200,000yen+ paying job that doesn't involve teaching. And because I can speak some Japanese (but definitely not fluent) that leaves me out of just about everything... so it's back to Australia for me.

Hey Andrew, whats this about your visa?

my new company that ive been working for since april has now discovered that immigration might not be so willing to change my visa. So we are making a big folio to send in see what happens ... hopefully should be alright :D

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
