I did a season in Falls Creek last year and just turned down another due to "having to come back to the real world". I have a feeling the season will be average again this year anyway, but i might hit up NZ in August anyway. As mentioned above Japan is the place to go, amazing powder and hot springs with cool little monkeys!!

Anyway if anyone is planning/going up i will be in for sure. I'm also a ski instructor so anyone who cant ski, i can give you some basic tips and exercises so you can at least do the green runs!

Also if you can buy gear in the US DO IT! The market over there is huge and all the prices are really good!

I'm so in for any trip snowboarding anywhere.. yes JApan is the place to go I had a trip booked for last year until I broke my leg was going to cost me $1700 for 9 days.. thats skiing and flights.. u can get accom over there in these little bungalow things basically liek a backpackers lodge just below the mountains and it equates to around 30bucks for a week.

Japan has the longest runs and longest lifts in the world and damn I was disappointed not to go..

But... NEw Zealand does have a great atmosphere and the powder after a light fall is unbelievable..

Damn you for getting me thinking I should buy new gear.. lol oh well out with last years gear in with some new...

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
