Leg ham, where are you at now? 

Arrived in osaka this morning. Its been an intense day. No sleep during the flight, then pickup hire car (mazda supremacy equivalent). GPS with english functions is just that lol driving is soooo different here. We're not prepared for it at all. Lots of getting honked and running "red lights". Parking is a bitch. My first non-english speaking country and im struggling, but im sure itll get easier with each day.

Osaka auto messe tomorrow!
Decided i dont want a jap waifu. I had it in my head that jap culture was noticeably different from other asian countries, but im noticing (and people are saying) no, not really.

Japan, ooh exciting!

I'm sure you'll be fine driving in Japan, I survived Europe whilst drunk, jet-lagged and steering wheel in wrong side of the car. Did 200+ on Autobahn the next day, so yeah you'll be fine since you're driving the same layout as here.

It's just shit like this. Lots of turning lanes, no lines to show where to stop or edge of intersections etc. Because there's no where to park, people just pullover and chuck their hazards on.

Whats a public high school teacher get paid out of curiosity? 

Currently in the mix for an IT role at a high school managing their infrastructure ~1300 kids but recruiters initial salary rate was stupidly low, hoping I can sway them up once I meet or he's wrong.. he said might be hard as they have tight budgets (a few minutes after he said previous IT guy kept blowing a few hundred thousand on IT projects..?)

Found some old rates on google, but all the different levels etc no idea about.

Yikes.

Just follow the locals. That's what I did in Europe, was mega fun in Autobahn and Autostrada.

Why would a teacher's salary be relative to that of someone in the IT department?

Its not, just curious and if they give me the 'don't have budget for that' I can put it into perspective 

Plus it would just be me and 1 other guy, and yeh definitely not 100k if the initial chat was anything to go by, although I'd be happy to take less than what I'm worth if I can take 12 weeks leave ;)

Other than that have an interview coming up at a security company which looks promising anyway, I'd rather the school though I reckon. Hopefully get 2 offers to pick from by the end of next week.. fingers crossed

Actually both of these roles were all done by me, one through seek applying direct to them. The other (school guy) I sent an email to I saw him a couple of years ago, which the job fell through in the end but kept his details.

Also got a potential interview at an IT company from recruiter (who contacted me through seeing me apply on seek) although I don't want to work at an MSP again it's my 3rd choice currently.. 

So kinda doing both + pulling some of my own contacts

note that 100K is contract, so there is no 12 weeks leave... if you take leave you don;t get paid, same for sick leave and such. and there no redundancies they can jsut not renew your contract. Not sure if Super is paid either never asked that.

 

so that has to be taken into consideration.

Contact work is higher paid but much less safety net I would basiclly equate 75-80K salary job to 100K contract.

Getting loans and such is also more of a PITA with contract.

 

that said If I ever leave my current work I'm going to try do some short term (3 monthish) contracts to try new things after 16 years in one place.

The other thing you need to be aware of working in a school is you are going to see shit you don't want to.

your managing computers that the kids take home this is not a corporate lifestyle,

You come across porn, help track distribution of pics and videos of students and make reports to the school, he has had to take a few things to the police after finding kiddie porn and similar.

 

think:

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
