I attended the CAMS State Council meeting in Lithgow today along with carlo and Majanal.

The Council accepted our application with the result being Skylines Australia NSW is now affiliated with CAMS.

:jump: :P :headbang: :band: :rave: :Party: :headspin:

Any financial members can apply for competition licenses and we can get insurance cover for events.

If you are interested in knowing more about CAMS go to http://www.cams.com.au/default.asp, the link for license info is here.

For the basic Level 2S license go here to read about Speed Events and Motorkhanas. These are the typical club level events that we would be going along to. Initially we will be contacting other clubs and asking if we can come along and join their events.

If you have any questions that can't be answered on the site drop me an email/pm and I'll do my best to answer it. :P

A big thanks to Dino for organising and following through on this.

Also to Carlo and Dan for their part.

This is a big step forward for the club and I'm sure other members and potential members will benefit from the work put in from the above mentioned folks,

Cheers you guys !

Well, when registering for events (race, sprint, hillclimb etc) you need to show your current CAMS membership card, which is issued by the club you belong to. Only thing is, both clubs I've been in (Honda and Improved Production) had same membership cards with CAMS logos on them.

Just wondering how that will work for us, I can check direct with CAMS if you like, or maybe you guys have some sort of liason contact.

Another q, what do we do to get CAMS insurance for our events, do we have any rules/guidelines we need to follow, or can we just declare our Fast n Furious drive in night an SAU event.

Oh, and can the club now issue L2S CAMS licenses? How will they be administered?

Sorry for all the q, I just think this is a really important step forward for the club, and it would be great for members to understand more about what it means.

I'll check with CAMS on monday, I have no doubt it's changed and what you say is correct. Maybe we can just put the CAMS logo on our cards now. :P

That's what I was learning about today. They are going to clarify just what exactly the requirements are. There's a 6 week lead time to get a permit (if required, and it probably will be). Go to the CAMS NSW link and read the April Tale Spin Newsletter for a bit more info.

Go to the link in the first post for the license info. It's probably just as easy to send the form straight back to CAMS rather than to us. It will definately be processed quicker. L2S is the basic one required for speed events.

I agree, keep 'em coming.

:P

Good timing too - can announce at the SAU NSW qtrly meeting tomorrow.

Dare I say, the first BIG (HUGE) milestone for the club after 12+ months of operation.

Well done again - and very proud/pleased to be a member of such a professional & affiliated organisation.

Duncan,

That course we did at Finlays, what license does it allow us to obtain?

That is the "Observed License Test", lets you get full C3 circuit racing license.

Hillclimbs, sprints etc just require L2S which SAU can now issue :D

I think that you have to get C3 within 12 months of course - so y'all better hurry up if you don't want to do it again!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
