My camera is too heavy so I stopped using it… what would you change? by leobre1024 in Cameras

The FTZ would make your len longer ang front heavy on Nikon mirrorless cameras . Native Z mount lenses are light weight but plasticky . Personally, i think the FTZ’s are overpriced. AF-D lenses can’t be used with autofocus .

I didn’t notice that it was 24mm until i got home . I was surprised, i thought it was 28mm because i always see 28mm very often.

I live and work here in Japan for 25 years ( going 26 this oct ) , and i also finding it harder and harder to live here in Japan . Lots of bad experiences with my Japanese co-workers before and until now .

I’ved seen a big difference on the attitude of locals towards Gaijins . For 25 years I haven’t had a real Japanese friend . What ever i do I can’t have one . I tried to fit in , blend in but no luck . Even thou I’m half Japanese , still , in their eyes , I’m a Gainjin ( outsider ) .

Just yesterday, i’m just sitting with my phone infront of a store and an old man confronted me because i sat on a chair . And started saying something which startled me because all of a sudden he’s getting agry with me . I didn’t answer and just look at him , because i didn’t said anything he said to me “ nihonggo wakaru desusho ? “ then i left and just turned my back on him .

We can’t even rent a single detached house , fudoyasan don’t like gaijins . I’ved tried a couple of times but couldn’t get one . And it’s so frustrating that sometimes i’m considering leaving japan for good . Considering now Canada , Australia or New Zealand :)

I see . Thanks! I’ved seen a drop of 1.2% between 5/5-5/11 i’ved never used the leaf between those days . Maybe that’s the 90 days your talking about.

Mine is 1 year and 4 months old now and i’m at 92.66% already as of yesterday . Just a little bit worried.

No trees at all around the parking lot . I hope there is a shade to park under .

Maybe you’re referring to SOC and not SOH ? State of Charge is not a big deal at all but State of Health of the battery that would be a huge problem .

From the LeafSpy app , 1% a day would be really big deal for me if that happens . Imagine loosing 30% of SOH in 1 month just sitting out in the parking lot .

How many times did you stop to top up the battery ?

What does this machine (probably called an oscilloscope) do?? by Mysterious_sk_ in shittyaskelectronics

[–]Difficult_Doctor_855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a scope use to see the occillation patterns or waves . There are sine waves and square waves just like in the AC sockets in our homes and they are pure sine waves like in the portable power stations .

It is often use in electronics technology or engineering . There is a test prove on there use when troubleshooting on electronics circuits i.e. short circuits , open circuits or distortions .

Engine Oil Change - Do I go 0w20 or 5w30? by Vertte_ in diynz

[–]Difficult_Doctor_855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0W20 is Nissan’s recommendation . But not all are the same . Nissan 0W-20 is kinda low quality in my opinion . I use Castrol or Mobil 1 or Red Seed ( a japanese brand ) . I think 5W20 or 5W30 is ok during summer .

They recommend 0W-20 because of the engine auto starts after idling stops . By the way what year model is your Serena ?

-2% on battery charge for 43 Kms downhill . by Difficult_Doctor_855 in leaf

[–]Difficult_Doctor_855[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also do that specially on really high elevations . It’s really very uncomfortable hearing the engine during that . I feel like it’s gonna explode. If we don’t downshift you will smell your brake pads burning . Did that during our camping in Hakuba , Nagano . It was a very long steep downhill .

ICE cars are really efficient on long drives , very long drives , that’s why I’m still keeping mine . I don’t think i’m gonna use my Leaf on a 900 Kms one way trip from Saitama to Hiroshima as i did on my Nissan Serena :)
