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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
