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 SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
