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...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
