Hi All,

The Cooma Monaro Automobile Club Inc. will be holding their third Hillclimb at Mt Gladstone on the 18th of May. Due to a small turnout last race (22) it's possible it could be cancelled. Read email that I received:

"Fellow Hillclimb Enthusiasts,

Attached are Entry Form and Supplementary Regulations for the CMHAC Mt Gladstone Hillclimb on May 18. If you intend to enter this event please do so early.

There is a significant amount of work and expense required by CMHAC officials and volunteers to set up the event, it is a public road and must remain open the day before and the day after the event, plus the restaurant at the top needs to be financially compensated for the inability to open on the day.

Due to the disappointing number of entries for our hillclimb of April 6, the club has decided to review number of entries received on May 5th and decide on whether the event will go ahead or be cancelled at that time.

We would hate this new hillclimb venue to fail due to lack of support, so urge you to enter early if you intend to do so. We are entering negotiations with CAMS with a view to running full type 4 vehicles (unregistered Sports Sedans) for the events after winter, which may interest a few more entrants.

Event Entries"

It was a well run event and a lot of fun,It's also a good chance to test your car and skills against liked minded people. At the last event I battled it out with a couple of Evos and came out on top! :no: Here's the link to the club: http://www.coomacarclub.com.au/mt-gladstone-hillclimb/

Some competitors have uploaded their race on Youtube if you want to have a look at the course.

It's only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Canberra so for all you Canberrans it's almost South Tuggeranong!

Please show your support because it would be a shame to see it cancelled!

I found out about this Hill climb via the in-laws that live close by, was planing on doing it later on in the year if you do struggle for entries number shoot me a pm I will enter. Its stange that the Cooma Monaro Automobile Club Inc would not send out invite to people that have done other events with them in the past or use the mailing list from the Snowy Mountains 1000 to advertise.

I live an hour away yet never heard of the event.

Will let some hill climb fanatic mates know.

But these guys need to advertise more

I agree. As far as I know it was only advertised with the Canberra Hill Climb Club and local radio. I found out through word of mouth and this is why I posted it here.

I'm not a member of the club but it seemed to be run by a bunch of guys that are open to suggestions in how to improve the general running and organization of the event. After the presentation all the competitors discussed how it could be improved and advertising was brought up along with other concerns ie scrutineering etc

Also Warwick, where do all the skylines hide in Jindabyne im there around 8 times a year and never see any.

I only know of 3 in the area: 32GTR, 33GTS-T and my 34GTR. I only use my car for track events and the odd weekend drive. Next time yo u come up PM me and we'll go for a drive. Love to go for a ride in a 35 :)

It looks like a nice club level hill climb that I am sure could attract more entries if it was publicised more among CAMS affiliated clubs.

I like the simple class regs as my car would fit nicely in Type 3 without having to compete in Type 4 as some clubs require.

When my car is running again I would not mind giving it a go later in the year.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
