Hey all

Well the 2005 snow season is fast approaching, with Tassie turning white and the snow making its way up here over the weekend :headspin:

Im pretty damn keen for the snow, either skiing or boarding, and was wondering if there would be any interest in going up for a couple of days by anyone here?

Plan maybe something like head up mid week, ski/board, drink copious amounts of alcohol and party on till early hours of the morning (snow bunnies included).

If anyone is even mildly interested, raise your hand and we can work something out.

I'll be interested, but work will restrict me to the weekend. i want to test out the 'snow' button on my stagea this year, that's what these beasts were desgined for.

But a snow trip has been on my cards for a while now, i haven't been the last few years due to uni being a bitch and the snow being expensive.

I know a place in Jindabyne that I can get pretty good rates at, sleeps up to 4 in a room, tv/shower/heater etc, also has common games room, bar, and about a 5 minute walk to the main two areas of jindabyne (nuggets crossing and the other one) where the bars/clubs are.

Ill leave it open for a show of interest for now, then in a week or so maybe start organising something if people are interested :rofl:

Thats pretty much why im posting here :) Everyone says "yep yep ill come" then it gets closer to the start of the season and everyone starts pulling out.

So we've got 4 people interested so far... I might start looking into pricing, and post up some quick estimates.

Sounds good, Ill look into a few other companies and see whats on offer. After individually pricing things, it looks like a tour is the way to go to keep costs down.

So far we have interest from:

Nik (Amaru)

Andrew (SkyGTRline)

Andrew (Terminal)

Shaun (race_snooze)

Anthony (oscar32)

Leigh (leech_)

Cassi (skyline_babe5)

And now some pictures to motivate people...

I took the gtr up last year and never again after some of the bridges between cooma and jindabyne were -badly- iced over and it almost resulted in a severely bent gtr :Oops:

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
