    I think I failed to mention this but if anyone is in college they can see if their school has a study abroad program. If you get over there on a student visa you can work "part time" although most places will let you run up full time hours. Joining the military also used to be a good way to get...

    will rear coilovers for an s14 fit an s13?

    The front shafts for the S14 are a bit longer than the S13 but they'll still fit. The rears aren't even close.

    Kobe is pretty pricey. It's literally next door to Osaka (think twin cities of Japan) so it's almost like living there. Fukuoka would be a good choice. It's big but not crazy expensive. Plus there are plenty of tuning shops (Gun Sports) and you'll be close to Sekia which is undoubtedly one of...

    In regards to non-teaching related jobs you have to look at it this way. If you had two people of equal qualification you could choose from to hire would you pick the one who is fluent in your language and aware of all the cultural nuances because they are native or would you go for the one who...

    Don't quote me on this but you may be able to work part time (no more than 30 hours a week) on a 2 year degree. But if you throw private lessons in there you can still make plenty of cash. Honestly knowing a lot of Japanese isn't a requirement. The staff at your school will help you with all...

    I noticed the talk about people thinking about moving to Japan and thought I'd offer up a bit of what I know. I've lived in Japan for most of my life and have seen people come over many different ways but teaching seems to be the easiest. If you have a college degree (any major) it's actually...
