Awww I'd love to have him if I lived closer. My little Maltese loves company - I only just recently left her with friends who have 2 x Maltese/Shitsu's while I went to NZ.

I hope you find somewhere for him :)

I'll fly him over to Canberra for you? :D

It'll still be much cheaper than paying $1k plus to put him in the boarding kennel and at least i know he is in the safe hands of a dog lover :D

oh serious!? :D

What date in January are you going?

I have a townhouse with a small courtyard, so Molly is an inside dog, but I walk her all the time (live right next to a lake). Is your dog ok with no real "backyard"?

asked my parents, however my dog doesn't like small dogs. if it was bigger, it would have been fine. then again, it seems like your dog is a house dog. our spoodle is outdoors only (99% of the time).

Go well, go Shell! :P

hehe

sloutch, I'll reply to your PM a bit later

Thanks Michelle, i might have someone in Melbourne to look after him. A really big THANK YOU to the SAU community for helping me out. I guess it pays off to be a SAU VIC member too :)

Tomorrow i would be meeting up with this kind SAU VIC member and confirm the details. I will keep you posted Michelle.

Yeah mine is an indoor dog. It's a moodle :D. Speaking of which, he was lost for 5 days out in the wilderness of Narre Warren when i left him over at a mate's house last year and he survived! Found him at a local council dog pound. Smart dogs they are :D.

LOL at the "wilderness" of Narre!!!! :P

When we were kids, our Doberman survived nearly a month in the dense bush of East Gippsland, and even fathered some puppies with a dingo, then came back to our holiday house.

Glad you found somewhere for him though.

Go team SAU!! :D

no worries hun, just let me know if you still need me :D ... that's awesome news that you've found someone closer, makes things much easier for you!!

give the dog a buz cut and it ll be fine outdoors. even though, when it's 35c+, then i let my dog inside until it cools down or wash it's head in fresh water, either way, dogs are made for the outdoors.

Many thanks to everyone that PM'ed me.

I have found someone who kindly offered to look after my dog while i'm away.

Thanks also to Michelle who offered some interstate help :). Once again i have to say how fortunate i am to be part of the SAU community.

Thanks all!

Ben...i'll take care of that mutt...and i'll have my korean colleagues come over for a meal too....=P

Haha! So sweet of you Gerald... :huh:

Anyway, the supposedly good samaritan from the forums PLAYED ME OUT!!..

Everything was pretty much confirmed until yesterday when he texted me to tell me he decided to charge me $100 a week for his services! On top of that i have to provide food and everything.. :)

So in total it will cost me about $1000 for him to take care of my dog. Fair enough people might say nobody does things for free now. I was actually thinking of giving him a couple of hundred dollars in the first place. The dog hotel i've looked up quoted me $1,200ish for the duration and they'll provide medication, food and grooming every fortnight.

I replied and negotiated a lesser amount and heard nothing from him again. Ain't going to come out with his name or nick name here but i'm really disappointed at how this turned out, it actually tells you about the character of this individual. Not sure if in the future should anyone actually have any business trading on the forums with this person.

Anyway i have found a friend of mine who can take care of my dog :blink: . Thanks all again for your attention and kind offers!

what a shame, was looking forward to a little cute dog, go down to the park or running track, chicks love little dogs !

(just dont tell the miss's) haha

Yeah chicks dig small little white dogs! :)

Too bad you didn't PM me earlier before that guy who played me out. Shame on him seriously if he is reading this.

oh that sux.. if that was his intention he should have said that upfront instead of wasting your time :)

I wasn't expecting any money at all except for food costs!

Glad you found somewhere else though :laugh:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
