Hey all,

Just curious as to what is needed to obtain a log book from CAMS. I ask this because I would like to have my car log booked for two reasons:

1. To clock up enough hours and have my log book stamped so that I can apply for a C3 licence at some stage in order to import a race only car

and

2. To get race rego on the car.

Now, this second point I'm not 100% clear on, but have been told that once a car has clocked up a certain number of 'track hours' that the car can be transferred to a 'race' registration enabling it to be driven to and from the track/workshop, and for testing purposes without having to apply to CAMS for a permit each time.

Have I got this right, or am I way off...

Thanks

Dane

re #2, you cannot get rego on a car imported as a "race" car. No matter how many races it has done.

You can get rego on a car imported as a "rally" car which is identical process through DOTARS except that you need a NR CAMS license instead of NC. Once you have NR you can get NC by doing an online lecture and paying the upgrade fee about $150. All the details for getting NC and NR are on the cams website, but basically once you have PC (formerly C3) you need to do 6 races in a 12 month period and be observered at those events.

In NSW once you have either a complied or a rally import car, you can apply for rally rego. You need a L2S or higher license only for rego, a log booked car with either full compliance or rally import approval, a safety inspection by a CAMS approved rally scruitineer and a heap of patience when you get to the RTA :)

In NSW if you have rally rego you can:

Drive and in to CAMS events

Drive to and from Practice

Drive to and from Workshops.

As long as you obtain a permit every day you want to use the car.

My GTR race car has rally rego and it is brilliant, saves trailering the car everywhere, didn't have to pay for SEVS compliance and I can use it for everything I ever need to :spank:

Hey Mark I was checking out roll cage rules with CAMS the other day too.

ANyone can make an approved cage as long as they follow:

One of the homologated designs from the CAMS book (I am using 253-17) basic 6 point cage with diagonal between top of middle hoop and bottom of side hoop.

CDS, CDW or CEW grade mild steel

Main hoop 44.45 diameter (2.5mm wall) or 50mm (2.0mm wall)

All other components 38mm diameter (2.5mm wall) or 40mm (2.0mm wall)

cold bent tubing

"highest possible quality welding with full penetration".

Once the cage is done CAMS send out the cage declaration form for the builder to sign, then it gets a ROPS registration number.

Thanks for that Duncan :banana:

My car has full road rego at the moment, so transferring to rally reg shouldn't be an issue.

What is involved in obtaining a permit each time? Is it a pain, or is it an easy ph. call etc? Is there a limit to how many permits you obtain? I'd be looking at probably on average 6 days a month.

Mark...yes and no >_< got a fax number?

phunkey, in NSW it is a call to an automated service. I'm not aware of any limit at one stage I was getting 5-6 a week and never got questioned!

You need to make suer all the rules in Vic are the same they are probably similar. Call the CAMS Vic office and ask about rally rego.

Pretty sure that for Victorian RP cars you don't need to call up each time, as the Rally Permit is itself a 12-month UVP. You will need a R3 license or above, and not L2S+ like NSW..

With RP plates you can use the car:

- During CAMS-approved rallies, including SS and transport stages

- Travelling to and from a rally, and its scrutineering

- To and from Workshops

In addition to this, you can also use the car in testing for an approved rally, but you must apply to CAMS for a letter which states that testing is permitted.

But yep, the process for applying for a Vic rally permit this will be the same as NSW.. in that u will need a cage with ROPS registration number, as well as the car logbooked and scrutineered by a CAMS official before it can be registered.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
