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!

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
