Ahh thanks for that Roy.

So you have to ask CAMS to drive everytime to an event or do you just go there and if you get stopped it comes out in the wash then?

Accordign to a friend who has several club historic/log booke cars its not overlyt diffcult to ring CAMS ans get a permit number to be driving the car. I understand that the permit effectively gives you 3rd party insurance whilst you are driving the car...can someone please confirm the accuracy of this?

I KNOW its not difficult as he does it all the time, but i havent looked into in great detail myself. When i finish the R32 and R32 EVO II is on the cards i will be lookign much closer at it

[Duncan]

no the permit gives you the right to drive the ccar on the road, it is unregistered unless you have current permit from CAMS for that day.

You buy normal 3rd party with your rego like any car

The permit is very easy, it is an automated message system, just call and give them log book, rego, date and purpose and they give yo a number to run. And you can use it whenever you need to, while I was finishing off the race car I was getting a permit basically every day for a couple of weeks

Thanks Roy and Duncan.

So that means you're allowed to drive with the race/rally rego plate the RTA would give you.. otherwise that plate is "on" but it's not registered?

So.. that means the 3rd party I would have to pay for the same as a normal car? That's bodgy

[Duncan]

not not bodgy at all, its a great scheme.

For a start, you can't be defected for whatever yo do to the car as long as it is safe.....so cages, no cat, side pipe, screamer pipes, huge zorst, unsheilded pod, etc etc are all legal

And even more important for Jap Imports, you don't have to pay compliance to get your car on the road. Race/Rally imports have no SEVS or 15yo compliance

So to get a car log booked (e.g. a road registered car) what do you need to do? Say if you were to substantially change the car for a track day? - such as new exhaust etc?

(by new exhaust, i mean a drain pipe that announces your arrival as you enter the suburb, which is only for track use, but would be fitted the day before then driven home for the night, then to the track the next day)

[Roy]

That may or may not work. Dont forget that circuits are opften around residential areas, and the EPA also frequent tracks and sound test cars...so you can be kicked off the track for beign too loud. Its not common, but ppl do get pinged for it.

Ring CAMS and get the info firsthand

The road/rally rego only works if you have road/rally rego... You don't call CAMS and ask for a number if you have normal road rego.
