"Are you ready for two full days of events, great food, excellent location, a spot of wine and catching up with all our members – miss the extravaganza at your peril !!

The fun starts Saturday 26th July at the Twin Service stations at Paruna (just north of Ourimbah) at 10am with the Touring Road Event. During the day this will include a Hillclimb at Ringwood and the day’s competitive activities conclude at approx. 3pm after the sprint event at Cessnock Aerodrome."

This sounds like a great event. I believe Dan mentioned it at the meeting on sunday. All the information I have for the moment can be found on page 7 of the CAMS Tale Spin newsletter here.

I intend to do the Saturday events and then cruise back, missing the dinner.

I'll post more when it becomes available.

Who's keen?

ps. We'll all need Level 2S licenses or higher for these events. :rolleyes:

Sounds good to me too. (and Kel, as always :P )

Dino, have you or Dan been in contact to get more info as it comes out?

Just a warning, we will probably require extinguisher in car and a bonnet tie down. Will need to see supplementary regulations to be sure.

They are just sorting out some details. It should only be a couple of days and the regs. and entry forms will be out.

Go here for the Safety Requirements. These are a bit tighter than the drive day standards and scrutineering is more in depth. :)

OK - this is cams requirements:

Compulsory vehicle and safety requirements include:

+ A secondary bonnet restraining device rope or strap is OK

+ A fire extinguisher I got one for about $50 from Race and Rally, mounted in bolt that holds back seat on - no holes required

+ A blue triangle indicating the position of the battery Either buy a sticker or just use blue electrical tape

+ Headlights covered with a transparent adhesive film (i.e. Contact) mmmm....i didn't do this one, if required the old cross of electrical tape over lights can do the trick

These can be applied to road going vehicles with a minimum of difficulty, and usually with no permanent modifications.

Competitors are required to wear:

+ Non-flammable clothing from neck to wrist to ankles

+ Helmet

+ And are recommended to wear motor sport specific gloves and shoes.

Basically the same as regular track day requirement for clothing

As Cams say, you can get the bonnet tie down and extinguisher in without having to modify the car, so its not as difficult as it may seem.

For the taping of headlights, I'll be using clear contact sheet cut to the shape of the headlights. For this event with a drive between the hillclimb and the sprint it'll save pulling the tape off and doing it again. :D

Bonkers,

The licence that Dino is talking about is a racing licence that Cams issue. cost is approx $90 I think. It is required for events that are run under/by Cams that have competition invloved.

For more info go to www.cams.com.au

Hiya FLIP, it's just a matter of filling out the form (goto www.cams.com.au and click on Licenses) and sending of the money to Melbourne. However, there's probably not enough time between now and the weekend.

Come out to Eastern Creek on thursday instead (no cams license reqd). :D

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
