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

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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      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 may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
