To cut a long story short I've been made 'redundant'... suddenly. I had NO IDEA that the company was in such bad shape. Well, I also just learnt that my boss has fled the country!??!

It's the strangest situation... but I'm not cut in the slightest as I was really getting tired of teaching anyway.

Well, it seems this is the time to make a final exit from Japan, I'll probably hang around for another month or so, then it's back to AU for me! Woohoo! :bananaman

I don't want to let fly what I'll do in AU just yet so as not to give myself bad luck or anything (touch wood).

Rezz, sorry to hear about that unfortunate situation. Ive heard similar stories in the past of how school operators suddenly disappeared and then paid for it years down the road.

All I can say is that it was nice meeting you at Central a few weeks back, and ill try and expose 23% of what you have accomplished here in Japan with regards to media.

That sucks Rezz but at least I guess you were thinking of getting out soon. Good luck.

You will now need to pass on the mantle of reporting all things from J Land to a new and worthy successor!

Hmmmm, who might that be?

No seriously, is there any Aussie around that would have the time and patience to do such a thing?

I'm either going to go to Perth (family) or Brisbane (work). I'd prfer to go to Perth obviously, but in Brisbane a good friend of mine is setting up a company so I'd really like to be a part of that. Yes, a Japanese automotive orientated company :thumbsup:

I saw the thread title "I lost my job" & then seen the last post by "Beer Baron" underneath and automatically thought Beer baron must have been caught drinking on the job & got fired... Lol

Bad luck Rezz, I been made redundant once before, it’s a shock because you have no idea the company was in sh#t. Was all good, got another fulltime job 2 weeks later. & in your case you get come back to Oz which is also good. Gona miss your photos from Japan tho...

@ West: Cheers mate, but the journey is definately over... I'm now more in the mood to help Japanese (the cool ones :D hahaha) when they come to AU to live or study or whatever... kind of the next step? At any rate, one things for sure and that is *I don't wanna teach English ever again!* :D

@ geno8r: There had to be an end to the reports from Japan sometime I guess. But I'll always have my contacts and friends here in Japan so it's not the absolute end. But as for the weekly updates etc... yeah, I'm gobnna have to find someone to replace me... if anyones up for that kind of thing???

@ Gojira: no worries moite, will def do something tomorrow. Will mail you.

Justin,

Sorry to hear about your job but I am sure you are ready to leave anyway.

May be another possibility is working in the Travel Industry as you have an understanding of the Japanese culture and Australian culture so I am sure you can put a package tour to show the best of Japan or Australia.

btw, have you heard from Troy as I emailed him a while back and heard nothing.

Anthony

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
