Ran an odometer check on my car for the lols.

90,000km @ 2004

Imported the car in 2006 with 115,000km

Will check it against service stickers to see if it lines up.

Although looks like latest owner was a car dealer...

Someone translate the original owner address. Should send him pics haha

Kanji is a pain in the arse to find the right characters then run through google translate so not gonna translate address.

Cool that it has numberplate details though. Was registered in Nagoya, Aichi prefecture.

Speaking of contacting previous owners. Found the first owner of my car on Linkedin and decided to send him a message not really expecting a response.

"Michael, you are correct - my company car sold to friends when I moved to Japan at the end of '95. They kept it until about 3 years ago - Always a good car."

Contemplating posting a photo of my payslip next week just to rustle some jimmies

If you do, expect us to hold back even less regarding unions.... and remember how butthurt you already get... ;)

I'm confident that if people on a salary took overtime pay and had union organised strikes many companies and the economy would collapse

Salary people take bonuses?

It's also written in salary contracts that there is reasonable expected overtime as part of the salary "package"

If I'm expected to work a 60+ hour week in order to do my job properly then I best be getting paid.

Inb4 chefs are slave labour

I know a couple looking for a place if you need room mates

haha gold.

f*kn this ^ (I've also never received a 'bonus') have mates in mediocre roles that constantly receive bonuses must depend on the company.

People at my current workplace/same role as me work like 8-6 or 8-7 and eat lunch at their desks - screw that I'm taking my hour lunch and doing my 8-5 - It's the only time I get to see any sunlight.

This varies depending on the organization and meeting budget - most don't give bonuses in a bad year. The thing about an office job you're trying to make a career out of, is they can't make you work overtime, but if you don't it just looks bad to upper management and you can enjoy your glass ceiling career path because ultimately they'll promote the guy who is willing to work the overtime for nothing.

Sucks but the same thing will happen with tradies when replaced with immigrant workers willing to do the same job for less.

Not if the militant unions have anything to do with it :)

You can't really complain about no bonuses Leigh if you are going to bugger off at 5pm each day lol

Dunno what's a bigger crime, the corruption or that some cleaners were supposed to be getting paid $50 an hour

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
