No... I seem to be unaffected by hay fever... but famous last words hey? Alot of my students have come down with hay fever but they just grin and bear it - real Japanese style - and keep on going to work regardless. Not that it's highly contagious, but damn... I'd be taking at least a couple days off for sure if I had it.

Yup. I have it too. With most foreigners, if you are susceptible, it takes about 1 -3 years to develop the symptoms after you enter Japan. So for the first couple of years you may not have any reaction.

Antihistimines are good, but don't go on the piss after you've had them though.

You can also buy HEPA air filters and ionisers for your home, and they work really well.

I've been here going on 5 years and I've never had it... I hope it stays that wat too!

They reckon that about 30% of the population either has the antibodies and/or develops the symptoms. If you haven't developed the symptoms yet, it is unlikely that you ever will. Count yourself lucky.

This year it's a bit weird for me. There's a hell of a lot more pollen around, but my symptoms are a lit milder than in previous years. I'm certainly not worried about this development. It's my last year here anyway as I am shipping out at the end of April.

    • 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)
