So very sorry to hear bud! i had to let a good mate go few years back, its suprising how much emotion it can bring out, definitaly compare it to my father passing away a couple years back! i can admit i the tears were rolling! be strong mate!

Ah man that sucks, had the same situation with my dog a few years back, a little Maltese Terrier but still loved him as much none the less. My heart goes out for ya :action-smiley-069:

i have a lil maltese at the mo run a muck thing that drifts! my last dog was a lil black/white poodle very rare, she had to be put down because of age....

my condolences mate.

lost my dog missy a few months back to cancer, was definitely one of the hardest things ive had to do saying goodbye to her, but she had a good life, we rescued her from under a car years ago, still remember it like it was yesterday... :blink:

at least kennedy had a long and friendly life with you, the best thing you can do for your dog is return the love and affection that they give you, and by the sounds of it, thats exactly what you did with kennedy.

rip kennedy.

Condolences David.

I know I was gutted when my blue heeler passed on, chin up, he will always be in your memory.

Give the GTR a lil' "walkies!!!".. that will no doubt put a smile back on your dial.

not much of an animal person these days but when i was younger we had a few dogs

1 was a border collie (i think) we had to put her down for some reason, it was so sad

Very sorry to hear David; we went through a very similar situation with our blue heeler. It's a real blow losing such a great companion like Kennedy. :blink:

It may be too soon for some, but i went and picked out a new pup on the weekend of the week our bluey was put down. It really helped with cheering us up and lifting the spirit.

aww sorry to hear of this. Sounds like she was very loved and lived a great life :domokun:

Seems we can all say we know how you feel.. well to a certain extent. I even had 5 days off work when i had my siamese cat put down little over 2 years ago, had her for 18 years from the very day she was born. Still makes me tear up.

You going to get another pet? Not straight away, but eventually?

Thanks again everyone for your comments.

It is sad to see that so many others have gone through this before - myself included.

It was really hard coming home to an empty house tonight. No sloppy tongue hanging out and no tail wagging to greet me. I will get another dog at some stage but not for some time yet. 3 years passed between my first dog and getting Kennedy. I imagine a similar time will pass this time.

At least my parents took some photos of him while I was away.

RIP Kennedy! Sorry to here:( I was already huggin my cocker spaniel before you said to haha. He sleeps hard against me every night.

My mum paid more for the dog to come over from england with us than what it cost me, mum and my sister! lol. Expensive pet. And we drove 5 hours to the other side of england to get him when he was a little pup. Don't ask why. The plan was to get a pedigree golden spaniel. Both his parents are grand champion show dogs, and the rest of their pups were sold to enter shows but nobody wanted my dog Alfie because he has a mohawk betweeen his eyes!! lol.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
