Its unthinkable but someone else got stabbed here in Akihabara just 20 minutes ago.

I went out for lunch with 2 co workers and we went for some curry, finished that, came back and 10 minutes after that, a student comes in and tells us a cop has been stabbed down the street.

I go back out and find the place where it happened and it was right next door to where the 3 of us were eating!!! Holy mother or God...

It turns out an otaku ( or Akiba geek ) was carrying a knife the size of the shorter version of a katana - a wakizashi - in his bag and some of us here know that these kids do that to protect themselves from muggings by thugs who roll the kids for their cash.

So police are searching bags of the kids to see if theyre packing blades or worse.

Turns out one cop ended up knowing how it feels as well.

What i dont get is that after seeing the knife, the cop ASKS the guy to hand it over...which the guy did and then left it in him...

Its screwed up...you never know if and by who your going to get stabbed around this place lately and whats even more screwed up, the idiot was carrying this weapon around only a couple of weeks after that major shitstorm stab session blew through the city..

I think ill start thinking about a different career path...

Jap cops carry guns !! Well they do in Hokkadio..talking about cops the cop presence here for the G8 summit is off the richter. Literally all gaijin coming into Chitose airport are being subjected to body and luggage search by plain clothes cops. Theres cops every where here at the moment, sure doesnt feel like friendly japan thats for sure.

I nearly ran a cop down tonight. There doing these mass road side stops checking cars and practicing in case of terrorists.

I was driving along, lights started to change to red when about 30 cops jumped out into traffic with stop signs..I had to lock up to not run this idiot over.

Supposedly they arrested a heap of people related to the akihabara stabbing..

TOKYO —

In the 16 days since the June 8 stabbing rampage in Tokyo’s Akihabara area, police arrested or took other actions against 17 people for posting claims on the Internet including expressing intent to commit mass murders or other crimes, a survey by the National Police Agency showed Tuesday.

Subjected to the actions were men and women aged 13-30, according to the agency. Of the 17, the police across Japan arrested 12, while sending papers to prosecutors on or taking other actions against the remaining five on charges such as extortion, interference or misdemeanor.

The crime declarations posted by those arrested on the Internet included such messages as ‘‘I would imitate the Akihabara incident’’ and ‘‘I would commit a mass murder that would become history.’’

But on a more important note.....

diff carreer as in getting out of aki or japan altogether? what do you do anyways?

did anyone chase the guy down? jap cops dont carry guns do they? its only detectives or those sorts right?

Im a University lecturer by trade, right in the heart of Akiba.

The stabbings took place literally on my doorstep. Many of the students are spooked by this activity and rightfully so, they dont want to be next.

For it to happen to a cop, where cops in Tokyo carry loaded weapons, just adds to the feeling that, well, even if you are a cop and still get stabbed, what hope do you have as an ordinary citizen.

Thats why im glad ive been training in muay thai for the last few months - i consider the weapons defense techniques as a bonus thrown into my training, lol.

In fact, the murder rate would seem to be very low in Japan.

A search of websites provided the following information. The statistics came from an American site that didn't appear to be promoting Japan as a safer place than it actually is.

Murder rate per capita from 62 countries listed:

No. 1. Colombia. 0.617847/1000 people.

No.43. Australia. 0.0150324/1000 people.

No.60. Japan. 0.00499933/1000 people.

As with all stastics, be careful how they're interpreted. However, Japan seems to have a well deserved reputation for being safe.

its is a much more honest country compared to western countries overall . However as always there a re a few people who ruin it / something from someone / everyone.

If a crime happens here eg a stabbing / murder etc etc it is usually very horriffic, mind astonishing , down right out of this world disgusting, sick to your back teeth ,,, i think you get the idea.

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
