if you dont speak fluent japanese and if you dont have any degrees related with accounting/ banking whatever your going to have a hard time. Every place(most places) requires tertiary education. Why would a japanese company hire a young non japanese when they can just hire a japanese person with the same skills / same culture understanding etc etc . .

for all other questions I can recommend this site http://www.gaijinpot.com/bb/ just have a search through their forum.

friend of mine did his software eng degree at monash, worked here for a year as an IT consultant, now he is in japan working in IT, earning 4,000,000 yen, and learning japanese.

he says the hardest part is making new friends (or friends around his age)...but the experience is worthwhile...

Me personally - im happy sitting my ass in australia...

Alright thanks for answering my questions im alright at speaking japanese speak sentences and common words for living but not fluent! yup its bloody expensive in tokyo.. Electronics very cheap but everything else is abit pricy, my uncle runs a english teaching school there but not really the area im looking at, akeenan your spot on might get a uni degree then search for jobs.

if u have a good degree.. i suggest taking up a tutoring college there because in asia.. everyone goes to learn english..

so if u have an alright teaching experience.. try pumping some money into that side.. it'd be enjoyable too.. :O and it doesnt take much japanese.. just register em up and ur set hehe

but i guess your uncertain with all the competition in japan..

Hey peoples

I've always wanted to go to tokyo.

Im a carpenter by trade.

Do u think it'd be possible to get work

while im there.

Just a thought. I can afford a holiday.

But it'd be a great experience.

Cheers

i would also be curious as to any information that those who have lived in japan could offer for moving over to japan, my missus of 2 years is japanese and while shes come here and ive gone there, i'd like to move over permanently (or at lest for a few years) to be with her.

im thinking of trying to get into uni, for a teaching degree and japanese language but heve been told mixed things about teaching in japan, thou i have some friends over there teaching at the moment who do love it.

any suggestions/advice?

Luke: You'll get the same advice as the 529 other people who've asked the same question: Get a degree before leaving for Japan. When you have the degree, look around online for the best job offer, but you really have to bite the bullet and get over there and attend some interviews. Only then will you know for sure what you're getting into (unless of course you join a school where a friend already works).

Having said that, teaching is a career to some, or just a way to get income for others. I have 2 friends of mine who have their own schools in Japan that they started from scratch, but they definately are a different breed, much more mature and positive than usual.

It is possible that you make all these sacrifices to get over there and then hate it. I think for this reason you should have a backup plan so you can leave at any time. It's a great country in some aspects, but bad in others. Like I say only particular people can hack it, and even fewer are really successful over there. Just make the preparations to go, get there then see what happens, but be ready to leave if things don't pan out.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
