Beerburrum State Forest - Day Trip - Sunday 27th March - Who's Interested??

Anyone up for a day of play in the State Forest?? About 1 hour north of Brissy (takes me about 1hr 15min from the south side), so easy run for those on the north side.

[Bigrig]

Bump - just so it's in the 'what's new' list as some of the less frequent visitors from QLD get on ...

Cmon all ... a day of play!!! Sign up!!!

So far - 3 x Patrols; 1 x Jeep ... another 3 or 4 would be ideal ...

[Whitewulf]

Sorry may have to give this one a miss, the Wife's birthday that weekend.

Sorry may have to give this one a miss, the Wife's birthday that weekend.

No worries mate - happy birthday to her from all of us!! lol

Bump for some of the new Brissy members.

All welcome - the more the merrier.

[Dhuck]

Was reading another 4b forum lastnight. A couple of guys were out there yesterday. Apparently there is a fair bit of water out there. Wet Beerburrum again. Lets hope that it is at least sunny this time or not raining anyway

Mud, mud, glorious mud!!!! Be good as you said - muddy, but clear ... Will need to be conscious though of not tearing up really sloppy areas - other clowns can, but I'm not going to contribute to road closures due to irreparable damage caused by people in 37's tearing the sh!t out of it.

[Dhuck]

They are exactly the type of ppl in the other forum. A lot of comp boys and there toys. Very aggressive toys.

Oh goody ... That's what it's all about!! And they'll be the first ones bitching that the tracks they used to drive are now closed ...

Either way, it'll be an awesome day for us.

[Dhuck]

to right mate

[Dhuck]

Some peeps from the patrol4x4 forum are going up Sunday as well. They were going today but postponed. One of them was one of the above mentioned.

Hopefully see them out there and have a coldie!!

[Bigrig]

Bump again - sorry everyone else, but want to give new comers etc the opportunity to attend. This was highlighted when we went to LCMP - there was 3 other trucks there who are members of the forum camping right beside us who said they didn't get on often and didn't see anything about the trip.

Apologies again.

[Bigrig]

Is everyone good to meet up at the Woodford pub around 10am?? You can all head into the forest, and I'll just head inside and get on the p!ss!! lol

Alright, alright ... I'll head bush also ...

If everyone is ok for that time - see you there!!

[Dhuck]

I suppose so joe

[Ben-e-boy]

woodford pub 10am I'm still running 31" road tyres with 50% tread if we get more rain i'll give it a miss coz i'll be spending all day on a tow strap which im not interested in

[Dhuck]

Mate - good stuff!! You'll be right as most stuff you'll get through (as I assume you know), and there'll be a couple of novices etc there also, so it's not going to be extreme.

Hope to see you there mate!!

Silver - just saw a response so thought you may still be on - you up for a day out?

[Dhuck]

So how many we got goin 5-6 vehicles

[Bigrig]

So how many we got goin 5-6 vehicles

Yep - yours, mine, Ryan's, Andrew's possibly, Nick's possibly, the jeep, Benny's possibly (if the rain stays away), and ??

Sent PM's to YNOT, Finly, Cadbury, Jaxt, Dasha, Silver, and a couple of newcomers - hopefully they all got it, as haven't heard anything back.

Adrian can't make it as he's doing his drivers course for the club same day. Corie (whitewulf) can't make it as it's his wife's birthday that day.

[Dhuck]

yup new Corie and Adrian couldn't make it. Is Dave and Hempo coming out?

[nickpeacock36]

Me and the Jackster(aka the uhf pest) are coming. Any idea what its like? im still on the AT s so hopefully not too gloopy.

[Dhuck]

You will be right mate. We had several cars on A/T's last time we went out and they fared ok.

[nickpeacock36]

I know, i was one of them. Just the one scarey moment when it started to slip sideways into a possible panel damaging situation.

[Dhuck]

It,s not like LCMP or Fairy Land as some like to call it. It is more water crossings windy tracks but can be taken to extreme tracks if thats what you would like to do. lol

[Bigrig]

Good gear mate - you'll be right on the AT's ... took my brothers GQ out on his last time and it was p!ssing rain and he had no dramas ... oh ... apart from a stuffed fuel pump ... but that had nothing to do with tyres!!! LOL

P.S. I'm hoping to make it there on Sunday but don't believe it until you see me there on the day. The muddies are going on on Saturday in anticpation.

[Airstrike]

Well.... thats the crap part they wont be ready for pick up or delivery for another couple weeks. But for that price I am waiting even if they are a spare set.

[Bigrig]

where do they plug into a gq, or a Mav?

The ECU plug near the fuse box in the drivers side footwell. And yep!

[Airstrike]

Can you shoot me the site to get them? also I will get RACQ to come first as its free and I dont want to waste your time mate. If they throw their hands up I will give you a call or send a message. It will push start but nothing on turn.

Have you tried starting it off the solenoid? If it cranks over, then you could just have a sh!tty ignition barrel (the barrel you put the key into) - I had this go on mine about 6 months ago - $80 and relatively easy repair (getting the little screws out is a bitch though).

[Airstrike]

Yep solenoid no good. I hve called RACQ I will see whats the go in the hour.

[Bigrig]

Yep solenoid no good. I hve called RACQ I will see whats the go in the hour.

Might be able to get one through Repco?

Starters are easy to replace with only a few spanners, just make sure you disconnect the battery before you do it - makes you jump when you arc out the main battery cable! Where in Brisbane are you?

Tony

[Bigrig]

Found one cant get a bloody mechanic to put it in on short notice LOL oh the drama

Want me to come over and do it? It's reasonably straight forward (ish) and I've already spoken to Derek and he said we could do it and just call him if any dramas.

There you go - want to give it a lash? I can be there in about an hour or so.

[Bigrig]

He's going to try to get it into a mechanic over his way (now there's a vote of confidence for bigrig's mobile service!!! lol).

[Airstrike]

Well they can all go %#@! Off. Might have to do it myself with help :) *cough* scotty *cough*

[Silver]

The solenoid is just a big relay - it has two little wires that go in and out, one positive, one negative. These pull in an electromagnetic switch that is connected to the big wires that carry the current that actually goes to the starter.

Knowing that, one can put the car in neutral, ignition on, and run a jumper lead from the positive terminal on the battery down to the big wire that goes from the solenoid to the starter - either at the solenoid or starter end, whichever is more accessible.

Another technique to deal with solenoids is to give them a lightish to medium tap with a hammer, as sometimes they just jam.

Thanks mate - it was the actual starter, but it's replaced and "patch" is running well!!

Sorry Ryan - but I'm afraid patch was all I could come up with!! LOL .. it's been patched bit by bit since we met!!! lmfao

[Dhuck]

It has. Every time we go to go out something goes bloody wrong. Alas I now have a spare and all is good with mine. Even the neadit is still holding on the gear box. So what can I break next and who's turn to take me to get parts? LOL

[Airstrike]

aww patch. better than sh@t box I gues LOL.

[Dhuck]

Is a trol not sh@t box. Every car has issues from time to time. Unfortunately it's your turn. As long as it's not my turn. LOL. I usually break things when I am out

[YNOT]

It's looking like I might actually make it tomorrow. It was looking doubtful yesterday when the ride on mower wouldn't start, thought I might have to spend my fuel money on a new starter motor for it but all sorted now for only $15.
Muddies are on the car, toolbox and recovery gear are in, I'll see you at Woodford pub at 10am.

[Bigrig]

UHF channel 12 to avoid some of the channel 10 banter.

[Dhuck]

Where can I meet you Tony. The Compton Rd toll plaza some where at 8:30 - 8:40 and Scotty just south of the Wynnum Rd exit at around 9 where the trucks pull over either side of the motorway

Hey mate - How about I give you a buzz about 10 minutes out from the Mango Hill/Kallangur exit?? Should be rights to meet up on the freeway then (or at least in UHF range) ..

Haha .. Woodford Queensland brother!! And mine is running that well, it didn't need any Nissan Consult input!! That said, it could probably do with now! LOL

[AB]

Look forward to some vids and piccys again mate!!!

[Dhuck]

What a day. I am absolutely stuffed. Thanks for a good day out to all who came. Cheers to Ben who came down from Gympie and the other members who are slowly but surely becoming the regular adventurers

[YNOT]

Thanks for a top day out to all those who were able to make it today.
Here's some photos, sorry none of me, very difficult to take action shots of my own car while I'm driving it.
From top to bottom, Scott (Bigrig), Ben (Ben e boy), Sandra (Scott's better half), Nick (NickPeacock), Dave (Dhuck).

Sounds and looks like you lot had a great time, just a thought it would be great if we can have all of these trips in one section so it is easy for all to reference any time, how about here: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?49-Trips-and-Treks

Will do mate it's a shame you couldn't make it today, but we have a fairly active group in this area (SE QLD) so there will be regular trips.

Here's some more photos.

Tony

[Bigrig]

Some more happy snaps - this is pretty much all we have on the camera. A bit more full on stuff today - none of the photos posted do it much justice as always, but will have to get the videos together to pull some snaps out of them as there were some hairy moments here and there, and certainly some outstanding 4wd'ing!!!

Thanks again all - great group of people, great day!!!

So you learnt something then? Good for you!!! LOL

Was a great day out mate - be good to get some more involved so even if people can't make it every time, there will always be 6 or 7 cars out and about. Had 6 today (Ryan - what happened mate??) and you could seriously spend days roaming around those tracks hunting out some fun!! At some stage, we are going to have to figure out how to map that area so we can post it up for people to use in grading tracks, to find play areas, etc

[Dhuck]

A topo map would be a handy little tool for that area.

[Clunk]

great shots fellas, looks like another great day out was had by all......

[Ben-e-boy]

I had an awsome time thanks for the great day guys... Cant wait for the next one

[nickpeacock36]

Thanks to Scotty for organising another great day out. It was nice to meet a few more members as well. I'll rip and send the video (in a padded bag) tonight Scotty.

Thanks for the Pics fellas. Great shots

That'd be awesome mate - as Tony suggested, when you are on the road and down this way (you mentioned on the phone the other day you may be spending some time around south east Queensland anyway) we'll organise a trip or two!!

Small video for a bit of a tease until all the photos and videos are in - these are just some 'play' tracks we found near a lookout we pulled up to ... awesome fun!!! As always, videos don't do the depth of those washouts or the angles we were getting on any justice.

Looks as if you downloaded fine and the quality remained

[Maxhead]

Great video boys, love the 2 and 3 wheel action..TOPS

[Bigrig]

Yep - left it the same as what you uploaded .. came up alright for quality (not too grainy at all).

Great video thanks for sharing it with us, wish I had been there, looks like a great time had by all.

[AB]

Good little teaser boys, loved it!

That camera takes a godo video, what was the camera???

[Dhuck]

Is a Canon MV730i. Just a mini dv camera. But not that mini. Nicks cam was a little ripper.

[Bigrig]

Yep - Nicks camera is a bottler - they should be super clear, but I'll probably have to split the video for size to keep that clarity.

[nickpeacock36]

Posted early this morning. some good shots too, cant wait to see it all put together. Should go well with a bit of Bach or Motzart.:049:

[Bigrig]

Must say - a bit excited about this video this time - a bit of quality action and I'm starting to enjoy video editing - have just spent the last hour or so playing around with some of the editing tools, and considering it's a Microsoft product for free, it's not too bloody bad! Am going to take a little more time on this one to make it "NissanPatrol.com.au" forum worthy!!

Any chance AB of having purely a video section (or do we already have one I haven't found?). One with no posts against it etc, just action and trip vids that new comers and older members alike can jump into and see what goes on around the place once they decide to get out and about with some other members.

Food for thought??

[Clunk]

more great photos and videos guys, looks like a blast, cheers for sharing guys.................... can't wait to see some more

Hi mate, like what Doggy said if we put this stuff in the Trips and Treks section as It's own thread we can start to use that for dedicated posts for pics and vids of places we have been. That way if anyone goes into the QLD section they can see pics and vids of different spots we have been to which will be great to pre check the tracks and what to expect, etc...

If you want to after you post it I can close the thread so people cant post in that particular thread also...

[Bigrig]

Furry muff boss - whatever suits! I have to admit I have had people say to me they missed the video or photos because by the time they got on, it was lost back in the banter that had ensued since ... so having it separated is a good thing in my thinking.

[Clunk]

just a though on this one........................ won't those new threads get filled up with banter as well? Seeing as we all manage to fill every other thread with c**p hahahahahahahaha

Well edited mate. Love the music.

Haha ... Yeah, I thought everyone might be a bit shocked at me using classical music (for part one anyway!) - bit of a turn up for the cards!

It's pretty basic software and I'm sure most of you who take digital video are just being flattering and could actually do a better job of it, but a bit of fun none the less!! LOL

Seriously can't wait for the next run ... Weekend camping at Janowen Hills anyone?? lol ...
