Hi all,

Well for some time now my lovely partner has been asking me for a bigger car than the R31 Wagon that some of you may know and i have always put her of saying "The Skyline is fine..You cannot fault it" anyways.... The other day i found myself a 1992 NH ( i think ) Pajero LWB in astonishing condition for its age with 251XXX kms on board for $3300 with rego and a RWC.. i thought to myself that it was an absolute steal and being on the Bayside so close to the Islands I swiftly bought the car.

On sunday i packed up the brood and the BBQ and went from Kerry ( south of Beaudesert ) to O'rielys the back way up "Duck Creek Rd" and then today went from Boonah to Killarney on "Condamine gorge rd"..

What a Blast!! i think i have found another form of motoring passion.

So as thread states who knows any tracks in SE QLD and who else loves having a bit of a fun in the mud?? Keen to hear :ninja:

you could take a ford focus through half of the glass house mountains...

take a 4x4 to jimna, landcruiser park or mount mee state forest and go nuts...

Thanks guys..Yeah not after Monster truck stuff but dont want dirt roads....Anything that is fun and challenging..i have a "snatchy" and a shovel. keen for fun

driving on sand dunes is illegal

you can drive up to double island point via the beach nd then go inland to tin can bay via a nice little track...

PS> Landcruiser park is broken into 4 sections, main roads (any car can make these tracks), green (soft 4x4's and AWD's), yellow (more serious 4x4's with low range like patrols and land cruisers) and then red tracks (which is for drivers with big nuts or custom built 4b's)...

You can also camp there, make a weekend out of it... Tis loads of fun...

Also they have a bit call the pig pen, its mud holes and water holes, loads of fun to go driving through...

John , Take the Mt Lindsay hwy ,turns to dirt after woodenbong,

camp at Bald rock(huge granite rock -good climb)

then go over to boonoo boonoo national park follow

some supurb fire trails back up to woodenbong (map would be good).

Heaps of fire trails of varying mud surface around woodenbong/urbanville

(just watch out for us wild dirt bikers coming the other way).

Up near Crows Nest Go to Hampton info centre get a map ,

shows heaps of 4wd tracks around the area , 1 good one went

from there come out at the look out (ravensbourne) going through

some cool rainforst.

The back way to spicers gap(past cunnigham's gap) is usally chopped up

which makes it interesting (not a bad walk at the end) Entrance gate can

be hard to spot though.

Upper portals is great picnic spot then take white swamp road up to Queen

Mary Falls.

Woodford has heaps of fire trails and mud holes (again watch 4 crazy D B ) :thumbsup:

See ya gettin muddie one day (shinny side up of course )

you could take a ford focus through half of the glass house mountains...

I dont know what tracks your talking about in the glass house mountains but you havent seen the 'real glass house mountain tracks.Get onto on particular spot that us locals know it as hel hill,no if you can get up that without rolling it then you get appaulse. :D

Saw this thread and never ended up replying.. anyway am now!

Next time we go for a drive to Ormeau I'll let you know.

Like Col said - any of those four wheel drive parks are awesome - you can always not do the crazy stuff!

Some of my adventures:

Fraser 2003

Fraser 2004

Moreton 2005

West Mount Cotton 2005 (Closed now I think)

Inskip 2006

Mount Tamborine 2006 (Wouldn't be able to find this again)

City View 4x4 Park 2007

Inskip 2007

Inskip 2007 again

Straddie 2007

Inskip 2007

Ormeau 2008

Double Island 2008

Burbank 2009

Straddie 2009

Fraser 2009

Freshwater & Rainbow 2009

Ormeau 2009

and now to the USEFUL advice - if you want a good list of possible places to go I can highly recommend this book: Dirty Weekends

I just took my bush basher ford falcon up there and had a ball. There were a ton of 4wd's there so I'm assuming there is some serious tracks there somewhere. But it was fun driving 80's an hour in a car with no traction,esp or abs. Most of the time the car was sideways. Mad FUN :down:)))))

Yeah i have been up there, Is great However i am closer to morteon so if i am going to do beach work i will head over there and have fun, Thanks for all the local ideas though! Will give them a shot..Going to try Spicers on saturday i think then SAU on sunday!!! WooT!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
