ok I've been watching a lot of Initial D (again) recently and I think I've picked up a few words. please correct me if I'm wrong as I do eventually want to learn Japanese properly.

ahniki - brother (I think older brother)

sugey-ah - go?

kuso - shit / damn / expletive :)

one other thing. When they're counting down (go, yok, san, ni, itch) i've noticed that "yok" is 4. I thought "shi" was 4? Am I wrong, or right or is there something I'm missing?

oh and you know how Mogi had a sugar daddy who gave her money? I'm told this is called "enjokosai" - is this common?

sugey, proununced "Su-geeeeeh" is the new cool hip way of saying "sugoi", meaning cool or amazing. It's used by younger people. Older people still say "sugoi"

kuso, probably is pronounced "ou-saw", meaning false, or wrong. You can call someone an "ou-sot-ski" meaning 'liar'.

4 is "yon". "Shi" (also the number for 4) is rarely used because it sounds like the word for "death". This is also the reason that anything with the number 4 is not popular, and that hotel room numbers will usually miss out the 4th floor and room numbers ending in 4. Likewise with apartment buildings.

Could someone re-educate me on the family words? I kinda forgot most of them since primary school

aniki = older brother

anaewa = older sister

imoto = younger sister

???? = younger borther

otosan = dad

okasan = mother

oiji = old dad? grandfather maybe?

obasan = old lady, grandmotther?

Teaching family words is problematic - because it depends on perspective (uchi and soto, in(side) and out(side) - a really big cultural issue which could probably be a thread in itself). In simple terms - I would call my older brother ani, and you would refer to my brother as oniisan.

from your own perspective, the most general terms are (IIRC, as I don't use them myself, obviously):

older brother = ani

younger brother = otouto

older sister = ane

younger sister = imouto

(you'll generally hear a -chan whacked on the end of these)

father = chichi/otousan

mother = haha/okaasan

grandpa = ojiisan

grandma = obaasan

uncle = oji

aunt = oba

as for swear words - it's not the same thing in japanese culture. You have to remember that western society is far more religious/rigid/uptight in that way - so taboo words have far more impact - and, conversely (strangely enough) there are far more western swear words! Kuso can have a million translations, as you may have noticed, but the direct translation is 'sh1t'.

Please don't use I.D. as a substitute for a real education. I recently had a few 21-ish year olds staying with me (anime geeks) and they had some (to me) pretty shocking brainwave patterns...

example:

*as I point out a r34 NUR * ...meh, don't like the wheels much

*as a battered panda ae86 goes past* ...wargHgHH! *splat*

as for swear words - it's not the same thing in japanese culture.  You have to remember that western society is far more religious/rigid/uptight in that way - so taboo words have far more impact - and, conversely (strangely enough) there are far more western swear words!

That is strange. I don't swear very often but at one stage I said "God damn!" and the Japanese girl I was with looked horrorfied and said "That's really bad". So ummm yeah that was a bit weird.

ike is what is known in the grammar world as 'imperative form'

in english, if iku is 'go', then ike is 'go!'

It's really abrubt, and something you'd most likely use with mates/enemies, and not in everyday conversation

Gojira: it could be that she was surprised more by the attitude, rather than the language (but, hey, there are prudes everywhere in this world). Taboo word usage is definitely more predominant/effective in western langauges

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
