Hello and welcome, I got my cams liscence through the Southern Districts Car Club, this was many years ago when I was 15. The club doesn't have much to do with tarmac racing only rally type events.

hmmm should look at renewing it as it has been expired for a little while!

lol and to think i'm not really one for wearing skirts, even though i'm fem, give me jeans anyday.

was looking at a site earlier to do with cams licences and am wondering if there is a licence that covers it all. Not that i wanna do formula one driving, but then again never know. how do you gain one, like do you have to go somewhere like mallala and complete a course of driving to prove you can handle a car properly or do they just grab one out of the nearest cornflakes packet and hand them out to just anybody that wants one.

I got mine back in 2000 so it may have changed. All that i had to do is be a member of a cams affiliated club and that was about it $60 later and i have a piece of plastic saying i can race a car! so you can go get one out of a box of cornflakes if you want.... lol

like i said before i had one at 15 and had never driven a car before so it is a bit stupid not doing a safety course before you get it.

:lol: In one way i hope it's still like that

And no doubt you wasted no time and can handle a car like a pro huh

kinda figure i'm getting older and need a hobby to get some adrenalin moving through the body, and as i'd rather keep my feet on the ground a licence for flying is out, so my son was talking about cam licences and what they're for and i thought cool that's right up my alley, i don't mind a bit of speed (natural high), so long as i'm not putting myself or anyone else in danger, so that's it, now just gotta get my butt into gear and do it.

Hey..where did you race go-karts? i did it for a few years also, was going to go overseas when younger, but needed $$$$. Dad raced Formula Fords and Holdens, went over seas to Donington and raced also, got his racing boots on me (well...i took them) :P best fun i ever had was driving his super kart around Mallala, get quicker times than the V8's!

I must say that, crash at 65km/h...ouch!!!

In terms of licences, there is a difference level depending on the racing you have completed/qualified for. ie. Rally, open wheelers, Formula Holdens, etc etc.

yeh im pit crew for my mate that races Superkarts at Mallala, He's only got a 125MAX non g/box, still gets around Mallala in about a 1:19, But yeh those 250cc 6sp G/box karts are f@$kn nuts......true to that DC quicker than V8's

If you don't want to get a licence then you can still take your own car out to Mallala on a prctice day and you don't need a licence. There is also a Modern Regularity comp that goes on everytime we race Superkarts, basically racing the clock!

I honestly can't remember where it was, a lot has happened in the last five years that are a little bit more important than racing ( i can't belive i said that) as well as that i didn't have my street licence so i didn't have to pay attention on the way out

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
