Hey everyone...

Troy and I bought a puppy dog yesterday. We were planning on getting on in the near future, but after i pursuaded troy into the pet shop, and saw "Obi", we couldnt resist. Hes a very big, 8 week old, golden Akita. Cute as a button, with a dubble chin and too much skin at the moment. Hes going to be a big boy, about 50-60 kgs. We wanted a good gard dog, their breed is aparently excellent at that, and great with families. From the pics, he doesnt look quite scary at the moment, but im sure when hes bigger, and had some training, he will protect me from skyline, scooter and breaking in **** heads while troys on night shift :P

[qI must admit as much as i don't like dogs that really is one cute dog!!

AHAHAH Obi ahahaha!

Obi, yes i know. But i think it suits him. According to troy it was either Wooky or Chewy... Both starwars geeky names... So i said if it has to be a starwars name, its got to be obi.

Obi is a cutie

That wont work. I get cluckier every day :)

TROY .. INPREGONATE ME!! NOW!! lol

Ive been wispering into his ear while hes sleeping at night that he wants a baby, he thinks they are cute, and wants one now ... :)

Also, been bringing children over to the house ;)

Shh.. dont tell him my plan!

aparently if i keep nagging, he will just add an extra year onto when ever he was EVER going to propose.. IF EVER... HELLO TROY OVER 4 YEARS NOW!!! SAU.. get on his case!!!!!

Oh well... we will have a bloody zoo if he thinks buying me pets will keep my mind of having kids, cos hes going to have to keep doing it!! No wonder we have 2 birds, 2 cats and now a dog! hey troy... I want a pony!!!!

Well.. eventually when troy and i have a night off together, (Im working 2 part time jobs now and uni, so thats pretty rare)... even rarer to have a cruze running on that night, we will bring the big pansy (meaning the dog) with us :)

I think its best troy has no say in the names Otherwise you will have one called Millenium Fulcan or Chewbaca!

Troy - Don't listen to Kyles brainwashing! ahahahah!!

yes we are getting all the training info atm.

just got to find the one that suits us, and doesn't put our boy at risk. hes only had 1 set of vacinations so we are thinking a vet run puppy school first for the disease free environment then out the big bad world and all its nasties.

Dogs are great

We lost our Beagle to cancer and suprisingly I was devestated.

The new puppy helped me get over it.

She's bigger than yours Kyles :( \

9kgs but 7 months old.

Won't be able to claim she's bigger next week :O

Sorry to hear about your dog. Its sad when we loose a pet, they can be like children. I know mine are... ;)

The vet said he will probly be about 10 kgs in 2 weeks (that was a week ago).. little fatty!!

Hes enrolled in puppy preschool. We went though a vet. He starts school on wednesday (ohh my little baby is growing up). We will be looking at further training after that. Aparently akitas need alot of training, they are very smart dogs, and have short attention spands and can be very very stubborn, so obedience is a must with them. Also, because they were used as hunting dogs to hunt animals such as BEARS, they can be fairly unsociable with unknown people and other dogs etc. So we are trying to get him used to children and other dogs. He loves kids so far though.

Hes learning to drive too. The other day when i took him somewhere, he put his paws up on the stearing wheel... He always wants to sit on my lap when we are driving, wont beable to do that for much longer!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
