Do a search.

You need to become a member of SAU. That'll cost you $20 joining fee + $50 p/year membership.

Then you send of a cheque for around $83 to Cams once you have filled out the paperwork from the cams website. A club official needs to coutersign it to prove you are affiliated to a car club.

I went down to the monthly meet at the Bells Hotel in Sth Melb on the Tuesday night & snowman signed it.

Then in a week or two Cams sends you out your L2S licence, which is all you neeed for basic track hooning.

You need to get a fire extinguisher ($35-$40) from K-mart, a bonnet restraint, a helmet & a long sleeve cotton shirt. You need a blue triangle sticker to throw on your car's front guard or rear window to show where the car battery resides.

I think that's about it.

Well worth it, but get it happening coz it will takes a couple of weeks to get this all done.

Have fun!

What work on car?

You will need to be a member b4 you get cams licence.

I am not a committee person, so sheck with bec, Snowman, Adzmax, R31_Nismoid, etc.

I'm fairly sure the answer is no.

If you get the right extinguisher (1kg from memory) with the metal bracket, you remove the bolt holding down the rear seat in the rear footwell & bolt in the fire ext. bracket there. I did mine on passenger side so easier to access if req'd. it's also out of the way for ppl. Think it was around a 12mm bolt in my R34.

Hi, You will need a fire ex with a MEATAL bracket, not plastic. You can pick them up at Autobarn or K-Mart prety cheap. A bonnet restraint is easy, a bit of plastic coated metal rope, a couple of clips to loop the ends and 2xD shackles to fasten them, thats is what I used. Some people also use trailer tie downs, the seatbelt type material and just tie it down through the latch. The blue triangle can be electrical tape or you can buy them from Meridian motorsport. I have a heap at home if you'll be at the next SAU Meeting.

There is always plenty of people who will be willing to give you a hand on the day if you neeed.

You can only turn up and get the CAMS license sorted on the day IF someone from the committee of the club you are a member of is there to sign all the forms for you. But you'll also need to pre-arrange this as it's a slightly different form to the one downloaded from the CAMS website.

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
