I’m looking at importing a vehicle for the purposes of using it for track work only. But I am under sure of what events I will be able to enter and if there are enough events to make it worth while for me to import the vehicle.

What I would like to know is if I import a vehicle under the RACE/RALLY import scheme. What events in Perth (WA) can I enter? I’m guessing it will depend on the car –if so I’m looking at sourcing possible an r32 GTR, or 95-00 WRX or EVO. I don’t want to make a choice without knowing what events I can and can’t enter.

I’m guessing if I head towards the WRX or EVO, I would be able to enter rally events? (is there some sort of lower end group I can enter?)

I’ve done abit of looking but haven’t found much on what events are run in Perth and what regulation they have, if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful

Also, i current have a Cams Level 2 license, would it be in my best interested to uprade to a National Level Licence?

edit: i have just been reading the CAMS website and have come across more information on the Licences, Does anyone have more information on the observed licence test (OLT) ?

edit2x: I have done mc events in the pass, and i remember alot of the mc events you need a road reg vehicle will i be unable to enter such events with a RACE/RALLY imported Scheme Vehicle

Thanks Michael

Im part way through getting my lvl 3 (Provisional License) which im pretty sure it what you need to import a race/rally car, unless you have a mate or someone who can do it for you.

Hi mate, there is a race class in WA that our cars fit into, it allows more mods than most of the state classes. I'd suggest calling the CAMS WA State office and they can put you in touch with whoever runs the series.

In NSW there are GTRs with CAMS in 3E and 3J (Production and Improved Production) and AASA are also running some events which allow decent mods now too. There is a Targa class in Tas and SA which allow skylines. I'm pretty sure there are no Skylines racing in Vic.

To import a race car you need NC Cams license, so you are probably best having someone import it for you. If you want to be able to run in rallies as well you need an NR license for Rally imports, then you need to talk to your state rego authority about what you need for rego. Rally rego should allow you to compete in rallies, drive to practice and workshops.

I don't know what the MC events are, but if you had rally rego that would be sufficient. As long as you mod the car to Tarmac Rally regulations (available from CAMS) you can enter things like rallywa or targa tas. If not things like Dutton Rally have no rules.

You need to decide on the regs you are building to first - otherwise you will find yourself pulling lots of expensive stuff back off the car and returning it to standard

Getting an NC license is pretty much impossible unless you already have a race car - you need to get a PC license first (attend a flags lecture and pass the OLT), then you need to be observed by the clerk of course for 6 race meets to upgrade to NC. Took me about 18 months.

The OLT is pretty straightforward, it is basically a mini race that you do in whatever car you have to show you aren't a lunatic. In NSW they are normally done as part of an advanced driving course, although they run a couple of sessions a year before race meets with just the OLT. Once again check with the WA State office.

Good luck >_<

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
