car is being built for time attack in japan and the u.s.a

and these events are not cams sanctioned as far as i know?

cheers russell

so what do you mean?? you want to import it to australia, to build it here, to then use it back in Japan and the USA?

even in that case, you will still need to apply for a race/rally approval through DOTARS.

I hope you like paying $$ to shipping companies!!

the link razor$harp gave you above should have all the info you need to be able to do it...

in SOME instances, you may get away with only having level 2 cams licence, but level 3 is what is normally requested.

let us know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Beau

edit: another consideration.... you are meant to provide with your application proof that you have competed in events here before, along with evidence of events you plan to enter over say the following 12 month period.... so if you are planning to only use it in Japan, and USA, DOTARS may not like that.

I'm sure Russ has the competition experience required, you need to provide its plans for future competition as well. And the person who applies for approval will need a PC or NC license - but you can sell it to someone else once it is here.

Pretty sure you will need an import approval each time it is imported back again - sounds like a lot of trouble to me.

Cheaper to build 3 shells to the same specs and leave them there at 2-3k per import (RORO) and even more in a container

    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions. 
    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!    
    • If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
