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.

      So good putting the valve/flap on the catch can. My clothes don't smell like shit anymore. Tempted to fully seal the catch can for daily use and feed all the crank case fumes back into the intake and expose the vent only when on the race track.  Took my daughter to go visit her grandmother, now she's making spooling noises in the car lolol.

      Stagea Boot lid wiring issue

      By thomasLait · Posted

      Hey everyone I recently have been trying to diagnose my rear glass not opening, I recently discovered that the previous owner/owners messed up the wiring real bad and now when ever my vehicle is unlocked my rear glass opener mechanisms has constant power, so whoever wired it up decided to instead fix it they just would remove the metal rod that allows the window to open, so I put the rod back in and now it's just constant power, does anyone know the wiring diagram for the door locks I've been looking a little bit and they are quite confusing, also here's a video of what I'm talking about, I posted it on YouTube so show.

      Sounds like a good one! Part of me goes "Oof, now we have to get up so early" but then also "This is the best time to drive when there is no traffic!". So, yeah, bought my ticket and am looking forward to it!

      R31 drivers side indicator not working

      By Liam2421 · Posted

      Yes your correct haha I found that the passenger side wire was cut from previous owner when it was stripped for a re spray, I now have all blinkers except for both front bar blinkers, both bulb holders have continuity but don’t illuminate, this is the same when hazards  are on, I assume I may be missing an earth

      Just a budget thing I'm sure. Super tourers didn't make it locally and the drivers in that car were paying for drives; so the business case doesn't stack up unless the base car is cheap
