i think sau is cams affiliated yeah?

if not where are you from? there are many clubs all over the place.

and you want a L2S to start off with 2NS is non speed.

I'm in Melbourne (S.E. Area)

Would it be wise to jump straight to PC or would you still need the 2S/2NS licence first?

I'd rather save money by going for the highest you can that will cover most, if not all the lower licences.

Thanks heaps for the quick reply Angus Smart and Beer Baron.

delostcambo, you only need a PC if you are doing full circuit racing, L2S will cover 99% of events and is $400 cheaper

I was thinking along the lines of importing a race car.. Can 2S do it or do you need PC?

you will need a minimum or PC or NC or NR to import a race only car. but have you checked the requirement of a NC licence? you will need to compete in a minimum number of competetive events each year and we are not talking track days or supersprints. we are talking state series like historics, or improved production, or combined touring, or prod sports etc etc. have a look at the cams website but from memory the minimum number is 8 events per year which means at least $10K spent just on those 8 events, not including buying and prepping the car, and the licence costs.

How long are you guys waiting to get your licences? i applied for my L2S over 3 weeks ago :)

those bastards took 9 weeks to send our National rally licenses, we got them the day we got back from Targa. Real Helpful.

they are a disaster.

we got them to fax a temporary license the day before we needed it

Hey David, SAU NSW and Vic are both CAMS affiliated so they are the best way to go in NSW and Vic. If you are elsewhere you can still join but you would need to go along to someone else's events anyway

well SAU NSW and Vic obviously only run events over here. So while a lot of clubs will invite other clubs to their events, you are better off just finding a WA based club. Head to the CAMS website and do a search for clubs in WA - have a look what seems relevent and give a couple of them a call

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
