Well I want to go for a cruise, and I know Ewen and Andrew (skygtrline) seem keen for a cruise... so Im goin for a cruise :D Anyone who wishes to come along is more than welcome.

-- MEETING DETAILS --

WHEN: Saturday 21st May, 9:30AM for 10:00AM departure

WHERE: Gull service station, Monaro Highway Hume.

-- WHERE IM GOING --

Cruising down through Cooma and Jindabyne, then onto Alpine way up to Charlottes Pass via Perisher Blue. Yes it will be cold, yes if its raining it will be icy and I probably wont go. Other than that, roads should be fine, theyre good roads as well ("serviced" every year), nice and wide with open sweeping corners. Theres also BP Ultimate availible on both Cooma and Jindabyne for all your petrol supplies (albeit, usually 5 - 10c per litre more than what we pay here). Should get to Charlottes Pass by 1:00PM, dick around, frolick in the snow, then head back towards Jindabyne for some food and a drink/beer/whatever.

If you want in, just say so here and will see you on the day :P

EDIT: Theres also a $16 cost per vehicle to enter the national park. So its not "cheap" as compared to a small cruise to Orroral etc, but it is a fun drive, nice and scenic and long, and cold weather = cars like to boost more :)

EDIT AGAIN: At this point in time, I have posted this on Shogun forums as well and would prefer it not to go onto any other forums. There -WILL- be police heading down to cooma at least, and possibly even up to Jindabyne (ski season starts 2 weeks after this cruise, so they will be upping their presence) and trying to avoid any unsocial behaviour some other unamed clubs have displayed in the past. The police down that way are a very friendly bunch, and will not have any problems with us as long as were not doing any obvious forms of dangerous driving (aka "FULLY SIK DORIFTO BRO~!")

So is this still a keen happening thing???

They -should- be fine unless it,

(a) Rains and the temperature is in the minuses

(B) It snows

Long-range forecast is (or was) predicting a big dump of snow around the 19th. The ground isnt cold enough for the snow to stay (each season, you need a big dump of rain or snow to cool the ground, then a base can begin) so if it comes through it should be OK when we go up. I have no worries about the road up to Perisher, if it does snow though the road from Perisher to Charlottes Pass may be closed... guess theres only one way to find out :D

Irregardless, entering the national park past Jindabyne where you have to pay the toll, the people there will advise us of road condition and if its unsafe to enter. But as said above, the roads should be a-ok :)

SNOW OMGGGGGGGGggggggggggggggggg

I'm psyched for this...even if we only get to Jindabyne and get one of the famous Kebabs i've heard so much about, eh Nik :)

shhh dont mention the kebab, people will think i have alterior motives :)

Time to reminisce about my cruise down last year...

There was scattered snow from about 5 minutes out of Canberra to about 5 minutes past Cooma, and the rest of the way to Perisher was completely white :) That was a really good dump of snow.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
