hey gents

well finally got around to putting some incar from the Townsville Mt Stuart hillclimb together.

My Wife Sarah Navigated and did an awsome job for her first time , with the help of some Ben Wooster tuition, thanks Ben!

Mind you she did get sick at the top most of the first day, then came good.

Its a really enjoyable event, highly recommend the drive.

(mods please move if in the wrong section)

cheers Russ

Good stuff, impressive time. I saw you drive past me on university road the morning of the hill climb on my way to work. I so wanted to come see you race but couldn't get the day off. Never seen a R35 in real life and saw you coming and was like "WTF is that?" haha.

You going to be back next year?

Good driving there Russ, looks a little narrow for a big r35 boat :)

how many runs up the hill and how long was it?

Sarah did very well, nice and clear, and most importantly ready to admit when she was off notes temporarily. Not sure that she will be rushing back into that seat if she gets sick though....

yeah the r35 is a big car for that road, but awsome fun.

the tyres were completely rooted by the end, all four had delaminated on the inner part of the tread about three inches wide down through the steel belt, not pretty!

I would love to go back there but may not make it next year , Being i am in Darwin for awhile now.

Probably wont go back in the r35, i have an old friend rejoining the stable :)

Old friend ya say....Hmmmm. (strokes beard)...Is it black? :P

YOU BET IT IS ! :thumbsup:

That is awesome news. It deserves to be back with it's traditional owners.

Not sure if you saw these yet but here's a few from my weekend that unfortunatly ended a bit earlier than expected. Although it made for an enjoyable afternoon knocking the tops off a few "cokes" with Mark, Benny and the Boys.

I hope you can make it back next year though. Was good havin ya here. You to Ben. Need to get ya 32 up here.

Can't wait to race up there again.

how many runs up the hill and how long was it?

We did 10 runs all up. Reccy on saturday morning then 3 runs in the arvo. Then 7 runs on sunday. The course is about 7.5km long then transport back down the the service park.

Next year they are trying to sercure the use of the parkland section of the v8 supercar track to run a prolog on on the friday evening aswell which will be a bit exciting for us and better for the spectators.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
