you cannot bring in a race car with an L2S. you need a minimum C3 (now called NC) - national circuit licence. to get an NC licence you must first hold a PC licence and compete in a certain number of events in 1 calendar year. check the cams site for the current requirements.

crikey.. well there u go eh.. i always thouht it was l2s.

i always thought it was l2s.

what is actually required for your car to enter these events tho? most dont need current rego.

just to pass the scruitneering (sp) ?

to bringing race/rally car etc u need level 3 which is the national cams license..

the guy at dotars told me that if its specified as a drag car, there are no restriction to wht the car can have, and all u need is history that u race and provide the right license, in which case is ANDRA.. this way is heaps more simple... say its a drag car n my brother can show his history and license and then it gets approved and comes here!

im pretty sure he said u jus provide license type and history of motorsport, in this case which drifting is a L2NS... show ur histry etc, and u should be able to bring it in...

didnt go into too much detail... i jus gonna do the drag car way, lot simpler, and my brother n his mate have done that b4 so we kno what to do. he jus bought in a drag corvette 3500HP without a problem... so i think bringing in a 500hp whatever car for drift should be pretty simple.

thanks

Even for drift you need a NC (C3) or higher to get an import approval. Once it is here if you do not need rego anyone can buy it from the importer but CAMS expect the importer to be the driver....ie I personally would not be bringing in cars for other people to use in case I was refused when I wanted one next lol.

If you need rego, rally rego in NSW requires an L2S or higher.

Steve, my 91 GTR was $9,400 landed.

muahahah its a vspec now!

no just a stocker non vspec, about 120,000klm, was 450,000yen at auction. it was tired but that wasn't an issue since i had to redo everythign anyway

I haven't looked for a while at gtr auction prices but I assume they have gone back down from the insane prices when the 15 year old rule was in.

FOB price plus say 2k for shipping and 1k for brokers fee....its pretty cheap.

Thanks for that, i will be looking into it for myself in the next few months - ive decided to get serious about hillclimbs, but i wont wreck my white r32 in order to do it

Now it just comes down to the paperwork and finding someone with the right cams licence, i only have L2S

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
