Hey all.

A thought occured to me. I regularly see track days organised but is SAU an offical car club to paying members? If so does this mean it would make you eligable to buy a cams licence and attend cams events?

The track day are organised by www.timeattack.com.au. The SAU club is not cams affilated from what I know so if you joined and wanted a cams licence, you will need to join another club as well....

There are very few tracks that are CAMS affiliated anyway and as Paul (MountainRunner) said, we race at QR and they use AASA.

You would have to travel a long way to need a CAMS licence unless the organiser required it for a tarmac rally around here????

funny you say that as we are competing in a cams event at qr over sat and sunday next weekend. This weekend is the sprints and top gear and next weekend is a national cams event at QR.

Dont get CAMS and race tracks confused as to how they are affiliated.

It really depends on who is organising the event. QR will accept most affiliated clubs who use AASA or CAMS. It is just that CAMS is now pricing themselves out of the market and new members are wondering what they are paying so much for.

actually, the ONLY racetrack that doesn't use CAMS is QR, and even then as R33_racer pointed out, that's only for their own sprint series and topgear race metings, and mountainrunner's timeattack track days. EVERY OTHER racetrack, sprint series, hillclimb, autocross, motorkhana, khanacross that I know of uses CAMS.

Not to worry...CAMS will get alot better slowly as all the fogeys start moving on and the newer and younger folk start changing things for the better. Too many old people stuck with their old mind set and old old ways and dont want to change cause if it worked back in the 60's why change it now?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
