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:

In this role won't be touching the kids computers - just servers / network / staff PCs

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
