Yep, C3 is the entry level license (= wearing "P" plates again:p ) C4 is basically for national series (supercars, nations cup etc) C5 is international, eg Baturst 24hrs/ Le Mans etc....

I've gotta tell you, it's much easier to get these in GT3 than the real world:D

Yep, Bathurst 24hr was requiring C5 = International class license. I think that is part of why they are having trouble finding enough local drivers. The C5 upgrade is on a similar basis to C4 upgrade - observed performance in national level competitions over a number of races.

Corect if I'm wrong...But I think you actually need some sort of approval/expirence level to race at Bathurst ?

Yep thats sounds about right Peak,,,The real Bathurst requires some experience in V8 supercars ,,,,I'll find out for sure on Monday when my Boss gets back from Mallala....His son's doing Formula Ford this weekend. Go the Bosch Spectrum.....

Both bathurst races just require a C5 license - but you don't have to have raced a supercar before - there's a couple of BTCC drivers coming over for the Bathurst 1000 race.

I think most of the teams just prefer someone who's driven them before coz they're pretty different compared to other touring car classes.

Yes and No,,I'm wrong as well,, Duncan,,,A C2 is cool but you need 5-6 sigs on your licence in 1 year before you can run at Bathurst in a Supercar....The C3's what you actually need,,,,Marks still using his C2 with Sigs because it's cheaper at the moment and he's doing enough races to keep it updated.....Mind you to get those signatures,,,it's going to cost YOU big Money and I mean BIG money. I think leasing a FF for the weekend is about $15000 to $20000 and thats with out losing a wheel....$5000 for each.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
