Hey, im reading this form at the moment and it's saying stuff like...

'to fully appreciate many different aspects of japan it is required that the working holiday applicant moves to different areas within japan at approximately 3month intervals.'

W T F

does that mean i will have to find a new apartment every 3 months? that would completely suck ass.

But then again, move to different areas within japan could mean spending a night in osaka or going on a day trip to another prefecture or something.

Anyone here on a working holiday visa that can comment on this?

I'm going to ring the consulate in the morning but i want to double check this.

Don't get too worried... they just say that to appease the 'working holiday ethics'. Of course NO ONE moves around in 3 month intervals! It's just saying that *in the spirit* of the working holiday visa, people are 'obligated' to move around Japan and see the country, rather than get all hooked up in one city then start doing illegal stuff ie: working fulltime :rolleyes:, having sex :D, drinking too much ;), being disorderly ;)... you get the drift.

Hey mate. I am currently living in Tokyo and came here a bit over 3 months ago on a working holiday visa. Like Rezz was saying, no one actually moves around every 3 months, that is a little unrealistic. That sort of stuff is just written there really for the sake of it (to make immigation seem like they are doing a good job) and unless you did something kinda messed up over here you will be right living in the same place the whole time. With that said however, I reckon that if you got into trouble for something else over here, they would then use it to ream you up the ass even further.

My main advice for comming over here man is to make sure you have a healthy bank account before comming. I have blown well well over 10K since getting here just on living expences so just be aware of that.

As for work, if you have a university degree it will be a piece of cake. With a degree and 1-2 years of relevant experience I know of jobs that will pay anything between 60k-150k in the first year. You really just have to be very motivated and start knocking on doors as soon as you arrive. Do you have a degree? What kind of work experience backround do you have? What are your Japanese skills like?

In all honesty, if you don`t have a degree will be an uphill battle, but not impossible. It will reallly depend on your personality.

Actually getting back to the visa situation, if you get a (career type) job (which you will need a degree for) you wont even have to worry about the visa thing because most companies will be able to sponsor you anyway with a relevant working visa. That is what is happening with me anyway.

If you have any questions, don`t hesitate to PM me. Whether you are going to be able to survive here or not really will depend on you. Despite what a lot of people think it is a very tough environment here (in Tokyo) especially if you are chasing carreer goals and not just a good time.

Good Luck!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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
