Ok, to keep forum a bit more alive or more entertain, i'm starting to ask/collect places that you guys go for camping, how far? Whats so good about it? Can you fish there? Lit fire? More to the wild or too comercialise....?

Personally me and my mates always go camping when its' the end of the year time. After a year of hard working, parties ;), clubbing......ect we seek for nature's quiteness, its beauty, relaxation ( well not really when we go hiking like soldier just to see who gets to the top first :) )

Places that i've been to are ofcourse WILSON PROMT ( i found it to be too comercialise ), THE GRAMPIAN ( spelling ), another one which i forgot, its just cross Adel border and it has blue lake...famous for Lobsters......

Anyway, we havn't decide where to go this year yet so i start this thread up to get some ideas of everyone, start typing guys.

OH and pictures too, you know some crazy photos that you took at the camp sites, with your mates.....the girls next door...funny ones, wierd ones.......

i havent been camping in a while no one to go with any more

but i would have to say places like

lil water loo and lake taliecarn (dont no how to spell ) there my two fav

but any where in the prom is nice sept for ovaron i think it was called f**king to many sand flys

as for the lake place you can have fires there and it its always empty mybe a nother tent or two but never packed but mind you it is a 6 hour walk of the top of my head to get there but you can have fires go fishing what ever very nice place

personally i love to go camping on the murray.

the goulburn river is also good. Have been up to yea a few times, but didnt catch much fish (probably wrong bait / gear).

I love apollo bay (although i was camping at a caravan park at the time)

Yeah - the Murray kicks ass.

3hrs - warm weather - sandy beaches - no-one around.

I remember going up there with the girlie a few years ago.

We were there for 5-days and didn't see another soul, nor wear a stitch of clothing all week :D

we spent a weekend up in cahuna on the murray earlier this year.

took up a mates ski boat and camped in a caravan park there, did a bit of fishing and skiing, in between the occasional beverage.

not quite real camping, but the river and weather was awesome.

I'll even keep my pants on.

"I'd like to believe that this time, I really would"

haha :lol:

We go shooting/camping at a friends property in a place called Hay (NSW). About 5 hours from everywhere. Awesome to have a bit of a break from the big smoke.

They have a bit of a saying on the drive there, it doesn't matter if you fall asleep behind the wheel, you'll run out of petrol before you hit anything...

ahahha thats mad

I'll even keep my pants on.

whats the point of going then? lol

id have 2 say hay is definately a good place to go camping around easter time, not too hot then. the murrimbidgee river usually has good fish at that time of yr

as for the murray its flowing at almost full capacity. lake hume here in albury is actually full for once.

plenty of good places to go along the murray n even upstream of here is good for fishing/camping

If you dont mind a bit of a hike go to lake Tali Karng, it's in the alpine ranges with some really good day hikes around the lake itself... I reckon it's a top destination.clicky>>>Tali Karng google it...many pics n pages... or if you dont mind a few peeps about the wilsons prom>Mt oberon>sealers cove hikes ect r good.. but being only allowed to stay one night per camp site sucks ass.

my fav place is the Alpine National Forest just past Licola, which is a bit up from Sale...

the river has fish, you can light fires with plenty of wood available and also go hiking up the mountains..

it gets VERY cold in winter, you gotto go with snow gear, snow is literally several kms up the road...

best thing is it isnt that commercialised, especially in winter which happens to be my fav time for camping..

hey Khoa

A good place to go camping, I went earlier this year- was to Cape Liptrap which is reallly really far south in a desolate National park near the beach. Its so quiet and peaceful, nice beach, nice campsite which are sectioned off by heavy scrub, so you cant really see anyone else.

Its about a 2 1/2 hour drive, roads are totally empty and theres a 8 km gravel track to get the campsite. Plenty of wildlife when we went, Foxes, rabbits, Wombats, Koalas (hey you wont be alone :)), even maybe black panthers!!!

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
