yeah, those figures sound about right.

Having a (japanese) wife in japan is a big difference - IMO, that's what keeps a lot of the 'lifers' here (of course, the 'players' stay for another reason...). What I meant was - for the average person who comes to japan, long-term residency is not necessarily a realistic/good idea. If you have a partner (and married), then obviously things change (so does your resident status!).

An important thing for potential job-seekers to keep in mind is "what will I do when I'm finished?" (it's always in the back of my mind - rapidly followed by "what happened to that damn exchange rate!?"). Coming back to 'reality' with 5-10years of 'english teaching' on your resume isn't particularly valuable to a prospective employer. In other words - you have to be careful, as more than one year away makes 'life in japan' quite a diversion from any given career path. I chucked mine in anyway, knowing that I'd have to start again when I got back (not something I'm looking forward to).

I will say this: If I was a single man now, I would probably never leave japan - I'm quite certain of that. At this stage, I will likely seek an extra year or two of work (if we can both find some) here once my contract is up. It's kind of sad, but my prime motivation is finishing my car! So many mods, so few paychecks... I'd love to be on the mainland and within convenient distance to a rotary workshop with a dyno!

Hi!

Yeah I was refering to a limited company. As to me being self employed is not a company but a sole trader. (In this case anyway) I should have defined myself more sorry. Im sure thats what yk stands for - private company.

Yeah maybe there are lots of japanese slackers, but there is more importance on studying in Japan than there is in Australia. In Australia who cares what uni you go to ? Where as in Japan it can steer your whole life if you go to a 'bad' uni!

Ah exellent, I rang the embassy and they said that I can get a work visa without a degree. So I am definatly going, I just gotta secure a spot teaching somewhere.

All the agencies require you to have a degree in anything, so I would perfer not to go through them. Would someone please be able to pass me a contact? Thanks.

Rezz, please check your PM box.

There are agencies around that you do not need a degree but instead one year of tertiary education and 2 or 3 years work exp. I think Nova is one of them.

Check out gaijinpot.com they have heaps of info on getting visas and also have a huge forum on available jobs - Mostly as english teachers!

Cheers

      Theoretical Power Numbers

      By Darrel · Posted

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
