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 )

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!

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
