My suggestion is that it is better to get out on the track and learn what your car can do with road tyres, before getting semi comps. They have a very different feel to roadies. They grip differently too.

A few guys have found them self in some expensive trouble by running semi comps on their first track outings. A bent car is not a nice car.

Also, the club has the CAMS manual, so you will not need to buy it.

Scott,

I have just received a renewal notice for my L2, and it includes a requirement to purchase a CAMS manual. It's part of CAMS' risk management to keep Personal Accident premiums down.

EDIT Apologies all. I've obviously misread my renewal notice. You get a "handbook". A CAMS manual is not compulsory (but it is a good idea to own your own).

Bugger, the stupid manual is compulsory for me...you would think being volunteering your time as a CAMS scrutineer would mean that they would throw a manual your way since you get nothing else for your time :)

Should be a fun year...especially with the Khana days...i will havce to put those old retreads back into the vats of diesel to be sure they are goign to make good smoke :)

You will still be able to make it to your mates birthday after hte track day.. they finish up around 4-5, you can leave earlier if you like as well. You'll get plenty of sessions in in the morning.

they usually allow passenger sessions... but not at full pace. passengers are also not covered by CAMS personal accident insurance. best thing to do is check the supplimentary regulations posted before the event for details on passenger sessions.

yes you can complete the CAMS L2S application on the day, just needs to be signed by the club CAMS official.. which is Andrew (president)

Passengers are allowed (weather permitting) at AASA events only.

We no longer allow passengers at CAMS events due to CAMS permits having no defined rules for their inclusion.

The provision for passenger laps in AASA events is still up to the CofC on the day.

You can thank the ever increasing insurance nightmares for that one...

Recent revalations show that it is unlikely that any of the events will be run under AASA however - including Calder and Winton.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
