Nissan/RHD Beyond Camping trip.

[CivicTunr]

Well lots of us were talking about going camping sept long, so since the nissan cruise thread wasnt getting talked in alot, i decided to make a thread dedicated to it.


Location: still under decision. (Radium camp site is a idea, 3 hr drive)

Date: August 30th, August 31st, Sept 1st.


We would be living Friday after work at a set time, 6 or 7pm, and drive out to the camp site. And drive back monday. Or leaving early saturday, but friday would be the better idea


If you dont want to drive yourself, i have a extra seat in my car.


Whos coming:

Jared (Civictunr) - 1992 nissan silvia - extra seat available

[240SX92]

I'm game. 92 - 240SX, don't think i'll have extra seat

[KuruptEX]

im in 1995 240sx we going to invermere by any chance hehe

[S13_Ryan]

if this is a go make sure we got our shit figured out atleast 2 or 3 weeks in advanced so we can book the campsite

[S13_Ryan]

im in if my cars ready.

S13_Ryan - 1990 240sx

You mean to tell me camping trips tend to be attracted to other camping trips of the same gender?! What has this world come to.

[ercchry]

if radium area i vote spur valley (i think thats the name, spur something)

they have tennis and a creek and a 9 hole golf course and 4x4 trails (at least did) and fireworks on long weekends (at least they did)

umm that being said, pending girlfriend wanting to come, AND do the drive in my car haha... also means pending me getting a passenger seat :D oh and of course car is running well... but not that be of a deal since it is within my CAA towing area :rolleyes:

Isn't the long weekend the end of August and Sept. 1st???

Either way, I'm in...Kevin, CA Silvia. *Extra seats will be filled with beer....

[Cooked Rice]

I'm in. Maybe i can install a hitch last minute and tow a tent trailer ahahaha. I mean the KA was used as a truck motor as well. lol. Radium is nice, but if one of us has car issues, it's a long ways back to calgary. And there may be problems calling a tow due to cell phone reception... I mean we do drive S13s here. hahaha

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Long weekend is 2-3-4

[KuruptEX]

Does this place have a good camp ground?

[silviafreek89]

If we leave around 6-7 and drive for 2 1/2 - 3 hours it will be dark when we try to set up tents and get organized....

Anyone have a truck with lights on it??
Or a shit load of flashlights???

We can leave Saturday morning, either way there will be traffic.

[Cooked Rice]

I vouch we leave sat. More people would be able to come. I work friday night. And plus I don't know if we all would want to stay 3 nights if we left friday.

I agree.

[240SX92]

Sounds good to me! Friday gives us time to get ready after work.

[Crymson]

If you get a few guys together, the pocaterra site in Kanaskis is GREAT for medium sized groups (like 20-40). The fire pit is good, it feels really secluded, the cook shack is amazing for a group site like this -- it's fully enclosed with 2 fireplaces in it, awesome if it rains.

http://www.calgaryview.calgaryalberta.net/kananaskiscamping/010accabtn10.html

The bad -- you can't leave your cars at the site. you have to lleave'm in a lot a couple of miles away. There is a road you can drive up (not easily, lowered cars are not going to make it) and drop your shit off, but you can't leave your vehicles at the site.

[CivicTunr]

So everyone wants to leave on saturday?

What time do you guys want to leave at?
7? 8?

[240SX92]

More importantly, does anyone have a truck? That site would work if we could all load our shit in a truck and bring it up.

[Cooked Rice]

you can actually fit quite a bit into a 240 if you fold down the seat and take out the rear cover.

[240SX92]

Oh that's not what i'm worried about, he said you got to bring your stuff up a huge trail that lowered cars can't particularly make. Bringing a bunch of 240's up a mile long trail is bad news.

[silviafreek89]

Yea we need car access

and car parking less than 40 feet from the camp site would be great....that would ease our paranoid minds

[Cooked Rice]

how far are we looking to go? i know a few of us don't have the most comfortable S13s lol. for example no A/C, no interior, no sound deadening, fixed bucket seat... lol. The cruise to banff in my S13 sucked lol. I was deaf when I got back and my legs where being cooked by the heated floorboard from the exhaust. A 1 hour drive in my S13 feels like 2. haha.

[silviafreek89]

That sux lol


I rather not drive too far incase anything happens to somebody....

[ercchry]

woot for doing stratotech and back! im just glade i was already deaf haha... back was pretty sore but if we are going camping at least i will be able to have beer after the drive to fix that!

[~Leah~]

Here's a question... I was thinking of planning another Beyond Camping Trip this year out that way... would you guys rather just be on your own or would you want to make it a group thing?

I think we'd rather be our own group because we all interacted really well with eachother being that we all basicly have the same car. I've found with beyond cruises everyones in a bunch of tiny groups rather than socializing collectively. SR/kaconnection for the win lol.

[CivicTunr]

Ray you can ride with me if you want.

[~Leah~]

That's cool, fair enough. Just thought I'd check.

[ercchry]

[Cooked Rice]

my slut is getting a CF hood tomorrow... hopefully i don't eat shit this wed. lol. and my power steering line is sketch and is bleeding like a you know what at that time of month.

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/4599/img0488sn6.jpg

my battleships are deep sea diving... i know i know

my cams are clearanced and ready to be put in now too, some overlap goodness :clap: perhaps i should add a ball hitch for the cruise? LOL

[ercchry]

let it run dry and go no power steering, thats what i did when i had the ka still. almost broke my wrists every time going from in field to oval :D

[Cooked Rice]

doesn't help that my rods are maxed out for max caster too haha. if i run with no PS then i'll reduce the caster for wed to make it easier.

Nah it was a mix of sarcasm + trying to save my own broke ass. :D

[Cooked Rice]

YAY my power steering mysteriously doesn't leak anymore. Lets hope it stays that way.

[240SX92]

My power steering was just leaking too. Just needed to tighten clamps and off she went.

[Sparx]

you guys are lucky bastards, my power steering pump somehow split right down the center

[sr20s14zenki]

^^^thats fucked, next time im south at our garage ill see if we have a spare if you like.

[Cooked Rice]

^^ He works at autodream, i would sure hope they got some pumps lying around haha.

[sr20s14zenki]

well look at that, you learn something new every day. I didnt know you worked there man..haha (=

im sure they have shitloads of pumps lol

[Sparx]

yeah im gonna dig for one at work tomorrow lol

[S13_Ryan]

sparx while your at it check if you've got more ssqv aluminum bov flanges. i called last week and you had none in stock.

i need one:burnout: thanks

[Cooked Rice]

i'm going to attempt my cam install again this week. This time without dropping a damn washer down the timing cover.

[silviafreek89]

The time is now.

I will start looking for a campsite tomorrow as they will be busy for the long weekend. Any preferences?

Not too familiar with how this thing goes down so if someone can search around as well that would be great.

Driving up Saturday morning seems to be the best idea...yes?

[Cooked Rice]

Yes saturday morning. Probably not too far, because some people may only come for the cruise and not camp out. And if someone has car problems it'd be nice if they were within the 160KM that a AMA membership covers for towing back to Calgary.

[silviafreek89]

Peter Lougheed Provincial Park has 2 campgrounds.

It's in the Kanananananaskis area...110kms away.

I am going to call tomorrow, approx. amount of people?

[Cooked Rice]

We need an official roll call. lol

Anyways I installed my brian crower stage 2 cams today. Not 100% happy with the results, but I'm working on fixing that with some tuning and cam degreeing.

[240SX92]

I'll be there. Plan for about 15-20 i'd say. (Pending drivers bring one passenger, 10 of us forum members +1 guest)

Even if we get more, first 10 (beyond members) to call it are in. hahah

1) Blair
2) Kevin
3) Ray?

[Carlton]

depending where you go i will come for a cruise out, i am suppost to leave for mexico on the 31st

8-12?

[Cooked Rice]

Yeah I'm going, so confirmed so far:

1) Blair
2) Kevin
3) Ray
4) Jared

[KuruptEX]

im down to cruise out but leaving for houstan soon so no caming

[Tripz]

Is there still a meet/cruise still happening on the 17th?

[Sparx]

Im in i know the girlie will want to go camping so ill probably bring her

[Cooked Rice]

^ when did you get a gf? Your screwed now man.

[CivicTunr]

so 6 total?

1) Blair
2) Kevin
3) Ray
4) Jared
5) Divo +1

[Cooked Rice]

I'd say there will probably be 12 or so cars who are camping by the time the date rolls around plus the people who are riding with them. That is if no one who is coming so far ditches out. So far its only S13 guys.

[ercchry]

well if i come then the girlfriend is coming and if she comes then she is driving her truck... and cooked rice for the ama towing you can double that haha, you get 2 tows a year, just have to come up with a new problem for each :devil:

[Cooked Rice]

whoever is bringing their GF, watch out for jared, he's shady... :nut:

[ercchry]

haha i have always pegged jared as being afraid of girls? haha i think he has met her though... cant remember if she was over at the time

[puya.ro]

I might come too.
Andrei - 300zx

IF I come, and I'll confirm by the end of this week, I'll have 1 friend in the car with me and his gf with his 5.7 hemi truck lol...

have you guys though of Mclain Creek ? just on 22x before elbow falls... not the longest drive but there are no rules at that campsite.

[silviafreek89]

I will still go for a drive!! I think the other thread died somewhere...

I called a couple of places in the Kananaskis area, all booked solid.

There are 2 first come first serve places but someone would have to be there Friday so get a spot (I would assume).

Patties Flat and Gooseberry (sp?). I've never heard of these places or know where they are:nut:

[CivicTunr]

Havent met your gf yet.

keep calling silviafreek89, i dont think first come first serve will work very well, i think if we dont find a place before 2 weeks in advance, we should just do it next yr?

[Cooked Rice]

we can camp in someone's backyard. lol

[ercchry]

yes lets take a group of lowered and SLAMMED cars to mclein hahaha... and on a long weekend? you must be nuts

[Cooked Rice]

... i see you made it home from tonight's carnage bash haha

[ercchry]

oh yeah... haha jessie did not though ahha (to dude with the blue 180sx)

[Cooked Rice]

too bad the sun was going down. i was getting a grasp of things towards the end of the practice. just that long pothole near the exit screws everything up. Lars probably had the worst night though.

[ercchry]

tie rod was the only problem i think with lar's car

geoff had awesome damage too haha

mine is going to really eat into a future weekend of mine to fix haha

and by the end i just did not have any rubber left and just gave up before i hit something else

[Sparx]

Ray my girl is the one wearing the white top that was with me at the races, Jared you come near her ill strap a bee*r limiter to your ass and have shitting out balls of fire. As for everyone else, hopefully the girls will get along lol

[240SX92]

I might be able to head up friday, set up the grounds... again just need it booked solid though.

[silviafreek89]

That would be good but so far I haven't been able to find anything...

[Cooked Rice]

Perhaps a change of weekends?

[silviafreek89]

I'm down.
23rd-24th?

[Cooked Rice]

fine with me. less traffic, less cops.

[CivicTunr]

cant, my last day of work is thursday.

[EvolutionI]

I'm in for sure, let me know the time, place, what to bring blah blah blah. Somewhere thats not 3 hours from Calgary (meaning 6 hours from Edmonton) would be preferred.

As long as there is camping and drinking, what can go wrong.

[Sparx]

I just came back from camping at ol macdonalds resort, im not sure how much it costs to book sites and what not cuz i went out with my girlies family but its about 2 hours north of calgary basicly between red deer and stettler. They have really good shower facilities, theres a beach,on site laundry facilities, theres lil pedal cart things you can rent they're fun to race with lol. We'd have to take a dirt road in but its not bumpy and theres nothing steep so noone should high center. Lemme know what you guys think!

[Cooked Rice]

:dunno:

[240SX92]

Sounds good enough to me!

[silviafreek89]

Originally posted by 240SX92

+1 ... When would be best? I am open to suggestions but we should book asap.

[240SX92]

early sept long weekend maybe?

[peterparker]

im down for sept long weekend but we gotta get a date set for sure cuz im sure most of us need to book of work

[240SX92]

Well someone needs to call a campsite, I don't know any around these parts just any random person if they know one book sept long weekend for like 10-15.

[Sparx]

Looks like im out gents im no longer part of the nissan community!

[Cooked Rice]

so what u driving to work now?

[Sparx]

Im un-pimping zee auto now lol. Plan on getting another Nissan for the summer just gotta get some money together

[peterparker]

wheres jareds input i thought he was organizing this schinanigans

[CelicaST-162]

RedStreak Campground in Radium is a good spot, it would be wise to call and book ahead NOW! It's a provincial campground so it may be harder to get everyone in a group together. Ideal situation would be to have campsites side by side.

With that said, if people want to stay up late and party then a isolated site may be more suitable. Lots of sites on the way to Radium BTW.
