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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
