Warning! Sledging only thread-enter at own risk.

Sorry guys, had to do it.
After the suggestion from Coza, I figured it was best to still have a place that we could vent our concerns and also promote our own beliefs. If I had the ability, I would sensor the comments from Nissan owners as 99% of it all is absolute cow manure.
However, if I did that, it wouldn't be fair, and, being the 'pink tutu wearing brigade' that they are, I may be forced to pay for tissues for the rest of their misereable lives due to the stress they may encounter.

All things said, this is purely a fun thread and I hope that we all share the same belief that all comments made here are not in any way meant to harm or belittle anyone or anything.

Besides, without Nissan owners the spare parts places would go broke and we also wouldn't have anyone to poke fun of.

[campdog]

I doesnt feel rght anymore, I like to answer with a comment that I feel is right at the time. I think I will have to hang my pink tutu up and sign out.Wheres the tissues ant

I personally believe that we should all drop this frivolous nonsense about which vehicle is best and put our time to discussing the more important aspects of life such as which brand of beer do you drink, after all we all know that Toyotas rule.

I suppose it comes down to whether you would classify XXXX as a beer.
IMHO, XXXX is good for making dampers and killing snails, can't think of anything else it might be good for.
My beer of choice?, anything that the brewer can spell.

Well I suppose we couldn't expect too much more from a NISSAN driver, (not that there is anything wrong with that)

[batesy]

... discussing which brand of beer do you drink.


Here's a spanner for the works...


I don't drink beer!! Never have. I only had a beer can in the Cooktown photo because that is the only thing untouched in the house.

There are benefits to not drinking beer of course, firstly no one can accuse you of knocking off all the beer.

Also my drink of choice "RUM" has one less letter in it then the word "BEER" or "XXXX", which makes things easier when one is a little intoxicated. This rule goes out the window with "VB" however.

And lastly ... real men don't have a few beers then start on the rum ... real men have a few rums ... then get on the OP...!

Okay, let the flaming begin... :)

[campdog]

XXXX you say, mate the only reason they call it xxxx is that no one would buy it if they called sh*t on the label.

If you were to sensor the comments from nissan owners the thread would be empty again. Just remember the NIssan owners got this site going. Toyota drivers are joining the band wagon now as they are so slow they took forever to learn how to post. Thats why Batesy had to dedicate a thread "how to Post". Just for tojo drivers.

Back on the topic of beer!

I noticed in another thread you said you had tried to get a decent brew from something called 'Queenslander Gold', apparently supposed to taste like XXXX.........
Enough said.

Real men drink alcohol, regardless of what it is called, that includes beer, rum, whiskey, wine, shots, anything in any order.
Just wish I could remember what I had last night.
One thing I know for sure, it WASN'T XXXX, that's not alcohol, that's snail bait.
I have to admit, I have tried XXXX once, actually went out specifically to buy the stuff.
There is a pub in Brissy called Breakfast Creek Hotel, mighty fine pub, that serves XXXX "off the wood", apparently the only place in the world that serves XXXX from wooden barrels. After tasting it I understand why, IMHO it is one place to many.

Only reason Nissans drop oil is to leave a trail for the toyotas to follow.If there wasnt a line up the middle of the road they wouldnt go there.

Sorry to hear that. Icant believe anyone would sell a Nissan and by a Toyota.
That light you saw it must have been a doctor examining your head.
Sometimes the truth hurts.Did you buy a real toyota 4wd or a toy one.You know -indapendant suspension.

[ant]

Kinda' lucky we don't have major sponsorship/advertising from either Toyota or Nissan here hey!

Comments from the Nissan brigade are kinda like the sort of comments you hear in a high-school locker room. You know the ones from the guys who always talk about sex are the ones that aren't actually getting any. Funny that we don't get too many Toyota drivers/owners here dissing the Nissans. It is usually the other way around.

What does that tell you!!!

[batesy]

D'oh...! I just bought a Nissan yesterday!

Thankfully it's a Maxima... and it cost $2300 ... I wouldn't buy a Nissan 4wd though - I'd sooner burn my $2300!

Which is why I still have the cruiser.

[campdog]

What does this tell me. It Says Ant owns a Toyota. If you cant handle the comments just remember who started this thread. (wasnt a Nissan Owner).I promise to stop when Mr Nissan become a sponsor.

Thats because they wouldnt give you a trade in on the MAxima. It would cost them to get rid of it. I still think the $50 they offered was fair. The cape york sticker would have been worth more than the cruiser.

[batesy]

No good coming down my way then. Comments like that could be dangerous.

I'll be driving in fear ... until I cross a creek. Then I know I can relax. :)

Not a good promotional material for Toyota. Just proof of the mentality of Toyota drivers. Well done Ant for supporting my case.

Man that was unbelievable. Nearly 600mm deep. Lucky you had a big Toyota to guide you through that water. You could have been washed off the tar road.Scary Stuff.

Thanks for the comment Campdog, but not quite as it seems. We are 5.6t all up and I did follow the Cruiser for just that reason. There was only one part 600 deep and you can see the cruiser did drop the level by 150mm or so. We're also up reasonably high in the diesel Transit and the van is an off road and higher still so most flowed under us and we are hanging on to the tar with 8 wheels and 10 tyres! There was no side creepage at all (not even a hint) but I agree that is not the point and I always value comments from others more experienced about situations like this.

Criticism accepted (and perhaps deserved). In fact I'd appreciate any others comments for when a similar situation presents itself in future.

Hi Ian, I was still in sledging mode. Im not one to talk when crossing deep water. I spent a lonely wet 10 minutes in nolans Brook full of water. Any water crossing should be treated with caution. Ive had a couple of "Its OK I can get through there" and both times ended up wit a 4B full of water. Doesnt matter whether it is a Toyota or a Patrol,they both sink.

[campdog]

I surrender. Toyotas are the best 4bs in the world and Nissan are all crap.i drive a Nissan because Toyota wont trade it in. I will never sledge a Toyota again.

The BuffaloTheory / Brain cells


"Well ya see, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural
selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know,
kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the
weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

By the way, Toyota has officially come on board again for the next edition (2008) so any mention of the 'other' brands will now have to be sensored.

Only joking. One thing for sure though, I was getting pretty worried because if Toyota didn't come through then I would have to approach the other guys and I didn't really want to spoil the credibility of the publication by stooping so low. Thanks Toyota- you have saved me in so many ways. Lets fly the flag guys- fly it proud!!!!!!!!!

[campdog]

Hey Campdog,

Being the sledging section, I think that I'd rather have my busted Toyota up in Cape York, than being at home like YOU this year, only getting to read about all the action !! :D

Ha Ha
Hey, thats not sledging, thats downright bloody hurtful.Anyway the years not over yet.
Glad you you mentioned yor busted up toyota. Hopefully all the wrecks will be gone by then,

Looks like your "secret" Vrilya Point Oyster stash will remain secret :(

I know what it's like sitting it out some years.

2 kids in the last 5 years stuffed up my program a tad. Luckily I've managed to sneak a 3 weeks boy's fishing trip in this year.

Anyway, you can get me back next year if you go up !

[campdog]

Yeah, Campdog's been Scorched !!

Give me a break.Ive been busy painting and only just found the Laptop. I dont mind telling you guys where the oysters are. Just not telling until Im absolutely certain I havent got a seat to Virilya in June.

Campdog,

Still a chance then hey ?

What dates are your mates going up? Are they basing theemselves at Vrilya Point??

We'll be there from around 1st June for 2 weeks or so, depending on how the fishing is going.

Sounds about same time but not sure.I was all ready to go and my Mrs got in first and said no way and seat was taken.There only going to Virilya and planning on trying to get to Cotteral to camp.I havent asked much more as I didnt want to keep reminding myself I wasnt going. Never know someone my drop out.

With the way fuel prices are going, the only economical way to go in the future will be to load each car up to the hilt with people, to share the cost.

Maybe you could stow away on the roof rack :eek:

We plan to camp somewhere between South Vrilya and the Cotterill. Just need to find somewhere that is close enough to fresh water, rocks and access to the river.

three of us did 3 weeks for about $700 each all up except grog last year.
I wonder how much water would be in the creeks south of Virilya near beach access.
Not so much finding a seat as to convincing the mrs it is a good idea. Id load up the old patrol and go myself but would be a one way trip.I wouldnt be allowed home. I havent stopped working in the yard and painting tring for a leave pass but to no avail.
Suppose I can just look on and dream and look at old photos.

Tear up a bit when she's around Campdog. Stamp your feet up & down on the ground, and chuck a tantrum.

Surely she can't be that cruel to a grown man :confused:

We did the drive down to the Cotterill mouth 2 years ago. From memory, there was only the one creek that posed any drama's. It wasn't throwing too much water out, more so the high cut embankments. Low tide was easy to get around it. The rest was reasonably easy.

I'd expect that it could be a bit hairy on the high high tides.

[campdog]

Scorcher, done all that and hasnt worked at all.Spent months bringing rocks home from the quarry to build gardens and worked my butt off. But no way she will give in. Maybe just run away from home.
As to Cotteral we wer at Virilya last april and still too much water around to get there,done it by boat but time window was too small with a big boat and low tides.There is a creek in the Cotteral which links up with the doughboy and supposed to be good fishing.

Yeah,

We're hoping to do a trip every day or 2 between those 2 rivers.

So much to choose from - chasing Barra, spinning for Tuna, mud crabbin', looking for Spanish Mackeral, bottom bashing for Coral Trout & Red Emporer. It's endless up in that area.

At least if one area shut's down, another is usually firing.

Then again, I'd be just as contented chasing Cherabin in the freshwater creek.

Maybe tell her that there's a "Quarry Convention" up at Weipa that you have to attend ??

[campdog]

A permanent convention would be great. Have been applying for all sorts of mine jobs at Weipa but no luck yet. Everyone in Weipa we spoke to said theat my wife wouldnt have any trouble getting work in day care.
I thought we would be busy for 2 years at work with the Pacific Highway upgrade at our front gate, and would be able to save a bit for an extended Cape trip.400,00 plus tonne of material for job and we missed the lot. Now watch the opposition drive past our gate every day.Pretty depressing situation. Makes a fly in fly out job very attractive.
We found last year that the rivers were dead and outside fishing was great.Couldnt get a mud crab any where.The year before crabs were everywhere.Spoke to some locals who confirmed it wa some sort of seasonal cyle. Never the less I couldnt care if I caught anything, as long as Im on the Cape.

It was something else, but could also easily apply to this.

Just remember when your in your boat going up the Cotteral and doing the arm into the Doughboy that there are plenty of rockbars. The island half way along though has seen some good barra catches of recent.

Best of luck

Goes to show, he didnt even have any doubts about crossing the Palmer. He knew he was in a Toyota. Way to go. Really shows up these Nissan sissy's.

[plucker]

Dont think I would have done that in a Nissan.

The guys a bloody shiela,Nissan drivers would have stopped for a photo and filled the water bottles.
Didnt you know the bloke with the video went across first in a patrol.

Hey Campdog,
That crossing is a lot more serious than Nolans and we all know what happened to a certain Nissan driver there don't we??

[toffa76]

Fellas,

I dont know about doing it in a Nissan but the Disco is well up for it.

She could do that on two wheels!

Well thats how most of her crossings end up anyway.

[campdog]

Hey Campdog,
That crossing is a lot more serious than Nolans and we all know what happened to a certain Nissan driver there don't we??

Like I said,I stopped in the middle and took a few photos and video, filled the water bottles and the patrol and proceeded to the Cape.Not on the back of a tilt tray like the Toyotas.

[dave]

har i recon if you stoped to fill a water bottle in nissan on that crossing
you would of floated away in to the gulf ,<if thats the way she flows?>
ether way your croc bate:p

I would take a video of the Toyota saving a nissian again too. Although it is fairly common so no one would be surprised anyway.
I guess you would have had to fill the water bottles cause you never know when a Nissian will break down.
That is why the Toyota kept on going, he knew that he would make his destination without hiccups, and in this case probably without Nissians.

WARNING FOR ALL NISSAN OWNERS THIS WET SEASON

"Any Nissan drivers thinking of following Toyota drivers off road this wet season, you are advised that we will not stop to pull you out of bog holes or creek crossings and it is at your own risk and expense. Note- It would be wise for Nissan drivers to make sure that their vehicle insurance is up to date and that they have the highest level membership with RACQ should they attempt to follow us. A good satellite phone is recommended too."

The Yota drivers don't have to worry about the Nissan boys following you, we'll have already made the crossings and will be waiting to help you through :)

Ah, but let's get to facts.......Toyota 100 series has independant front suspension whilst the GU4 Patrol doesn't and remain live axel (Superior in the bush). Another fact is with the IFS cruiser has an extremely weak front diff which is prone to failure.....Now, take a second to look at the serious comp scene and you will see many GQ's, GU's though very little 60's, 80's or 100's. The reason for this is, Cheaper, stronger and can handle the treatment.....So when in the bush the Patrol is the only one, all else is second..........hehehehe


PS: Nissan 3ltr Hand Grenade not included.......Though I am hearing many bad reports about the Cruiser V8 that are a little concerning.........

No, it was in reply to your comment above..............Having a family member who was an Insurance officer for a large insurance company and he dealt with more Cruiser claims than any other......Now this is a stat that can be what you want like any other stat as it doesn't take into account how many of that particular vehicle are doing that particular trek.....So, with this in mind your off the cuff quote of see more Patrols means absolutly didly squat.........Each to his own, if you wish to pay more and get less, fill your boots......$1500 extra for A/C, No Air Bags in trayback or Troopy, face it, your getting ripped off........I can now sit back and laugh at all the gulable Tojo boy's.....Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, RATFIFOL.........hehehehehehehehehe:)

I was just stirring with that comment Teabag. No need to get emotional.

All jokes aside though, all the vehicles that i have seen sent down for insurance claims, they have been Toyota's and Nissans. And it was only because they decided to drown it in a creek or going too fast on the road and pranging it.

As far as i know, it has not been because of faulty equipment. Most of the ones that are having the problems as well are the ones with electric windows, abs and all that.

You have to feel sorry for them though Campdog.

Most of the new sledgers have to put up with living up in The Cape. All that spare time......

Ahh well. As long as the tag-a-long mob leave a bit of the Cape for You & I, life will go on.

You can always fly up here Campdog then come down with me to the Pennefarther part. You can then hop in another car once we leave vrilya point then fly back from Cairns.

Mate, whoever he may be must be a dead set top bloke. As I said previously, ever trip needs one Patrol along to pull everyone else out of the Poo when it happens. A Patrol will be present for the trip as safety and recovery vehicle and I'm such a nice bloke I won't even charge you Tojo boy's (except for a picture)...........hehehehehehe

You nissan drivers keep telling yourself that and you will believe anything. You have obviously not been on a Tag-a-long with a Toyota.

[Teabag]

You have obviously not been on a Tag-a-long with a Toyota.

I have and it was a painful and uncomfortable experience that I wish to forget plus it involved way too much shovel work for us Nissan Boy's.........:p

One day you will see the light, I did after having owned 2 Toyota's in the past.......

Mate Tagalong with Tojos ,cause we have,why do you think we have patrols.
You blokes live on the Cape and only need a Toyota to get around on the tar and graded roads.You need a patrol to get to the Cape.

Been there, done that. Exspensive parts for it. Toyota had cheaper parts and was easier to fix.

[yetti]

Hmmmmm,

after reading far to much banter on this subject over the past months, i figured i might throw my 1 cents worth in.

Personally i drive a cruiser at present. An 85 model, powered by, what i consider the perfect cape york block, the 2H.

for me, its the perfect setup,

now i should say that i have an uncanny ability to break what is said to be unbreakable.

having said that, i have broken both toyotas and nissans over the yrs.

what i havnt done is drown a vehicle of any description, and during the wet, i must cross 7 creeks to get to town.

it's got nothing to do with the vehicle, it might just be how the owner drives it.

a revalation!!!

cheers.

[Teabag]

Now I have heard everything.......I think your clutching at straws mate and just making stuff up.......;)

They need to be as they break down so often. Seems like a negative economy to me. Let's buy a car that breaks down more often but is cheaper and easier to fix? What the...........;) ;) :D

Going back when we first had a nissan mate, parts for them were more expensive. Things might have changed since then, i dont know. Just asked anyone who has lived up the Cape for most of their lives. Nissan or Toyota? I can almost guarantee evry one of them will say Toyota. These guys definitely put theit 4by's though the hard yards over the years and they want something that wont fail.

[Nedly]

NISSAN ?
TOYOTA ?

Doesn't rely matter, they are both at the top of the food chain in this country as far as 4WD vehicles go.

Oops, just noticed.
I accidently put Nissan on top of Toyota, oh well :)

Now were talking BS.Expensive parts.Toyotas cheaper.Must because of all the spare parts laying around in the junk yards.

I'm serious. Parts were more expensive when we had our nissan. Things may have changed but that how it was back then. (late 80's)

You are probably right, now days most people seem to go for non genuine instead of genuine parts. Nissan parts prices are frightening if you go genuine.
Just the price of engine mounts are double compared to repco.
I must admit that Toyota has held its own in the remote parts of Australia as what choice did you have before,A landrover,intrnational stout or an old jeep.Toyota took over with a better vehicle and like most say If your on a good thing,stick to it. Just that some of us have seen a vehicle that suites us better.
Great isnt it, were arguing over what non Australian made product is the best.We all should be driving aussie made 4wds.
Im gunna buy an OKA

The unexperienced 4'by drivers will most likely lean towards the non-genuine. This can be a hard one especially when we are in remote areas and need things to do the distance. One example of this i found recently is engine mounts. I decided to go non-genuine and i wound up losing one halfway between Weipa and here on the Telegraph track. I go genuine now for most things as i believe that good quality is a necessity. However this may vary in the cities where there is a mechanic around the corner.


The OKA's look good however i would steer clear of the second hand ones as i have seen what happens to them after a drive up the cape. Andy from Spare and Repairs up here has showed me on a few different ones where there are stress fractures. He has even put a couple off the road. Brand new i think these guys are a couple of hundred thousand dollars.

I dont know about unexperienced going for non genuine parts. I think is the other way around.If you have replaced a few parts you soon come to know whats good and whats not.I agree with the engine mounts have to be genuine.
What I dont agree with is a service station in Cooktown trying to sell genuine Nissan OIl filters for $55 each when you can get ryco for 10 bucks anywhere else.(cairns is not all that far away).
Having a mechanic handy shouldnt be the deciding point in what spares to use.

I know if i was living in the city, a lot more of the parts i get for my Toyota would be non-genuine. The reasoning behind this is that being in the city, your car doesnt have the stresses of off road driving and can get away with a lot more. I agree with what your saying about filters and such but the important things like engine mounts, gaskets, anything like this, in my opinion, need to be genuine.

[campdog]

I see your point. I suppose most 4bs in the city and work done on them by mechanics .

[jackslayer]

Yeah , Campjunky , had a close look at the prop on the tinny, thats a cupple of good chunks there. Those snags did more damage than i thought. All good mate, bit of panel beaten, she'll be right.

Any sane four-wheel driver would approach that with a little more dignity.

I guess with a Nissan it doesn't really matter as you can't really polish a turd!!!!

True but, he was the only one present who got up that particular obsticle....I was present and found it rather amusing. Don't know why somebody would wish to polish a turd, must be a Toyota thing.....:rolleyes:

I have heard that there might need to be 2 groups for the tag along. Why dont you guys separate the 2 groups one for the faster smoother Toyotas following and ready to save the Nissans.

Thats a good idea Plucker. Some of us Toyota drivers should lag behind to keep an eye on the Nissan drivers. Didnt want them getting lost or stuck. Will have to wait for them at all the turnoff's anyway.

No, just picking up all the bits and pieces that fall of the bloody nissans as they are traffic hazzards.

I think i might sabotage Teabag's vehicle. Then again, owning a Nissan i might not have to. Definitely looking forward to the trip though.
