I`m Back In Japan + Anyone Going To D1@ Okayama


Recommended Posts

Hi boys and girls,

Well I arrived back in Japan last week. I am living with my misses in Matsue which is in the Shimane Prefecture.

Yeah I know its a long way from anything but that`s where she has a job.

So having not gone to Uni(I started a business more or less straight outta high school), not having a degree and already having used my

only working holiday Visa, I face the challenge of trying to find a job and get sponsorship. Any tips?

So D1 is going to Okayama next weekend. I have never been and watched it so I reckon I will head down for a look.

Is anyone else going along? If you are sing out cause it would be good to meet some fellow car enthusiasts.

Way Off topic: but before I left for Japan, my brother and I managed to get my Drag ET Pulsar going again, here is a video if anyone wants a look.

It`s running an engine out of a wreck until we get the suspension where we want it and isn`t tuned yet but we will put a rough tune into it and

do some testing at some stage.

I may be heading out there sleeper and if i do, ill give you a heads up.

On the subject of work, grab a copy of ohayo sensei, theres really only teaching jobs - well, thats where most of the work is anyway if youre on a WHV...

Cool, let us know if you are heading down. I have never been before so it should be an eye openner.

The job thing might turn out to be a pretty big challenge, if worst comes to worst I will go back to aus and keep stitching up go kart chassis.

Cheers

Did you work for DPE making Arrow karts??? :)

Yeah, it was good fun. The only problem was that for our christmas party last year we went to a track and did a bit of driving, this caused me to

wana get back into racing again. I bought a kart and everything did 2 race meetings and came back to Japan.

If i can get a job I will send my kart over and do some running over here, so fingers crossed.

Do you race? If so which club?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
