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:

i am going down this path also

called cams h.q. and then got put through to cams nsw

first step before anything re log book - roll cage!!!

cams bloke basically said dont call back until you have cage installed in your car

yeehaww

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.

duncan any chance you can get me a copy/scan of that part of the book? or is is in that pdf on the cams website?

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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
