Wait, what?!?! Am meant to be updating my car's CAMS log book?!????!?

some of us don't have cams log books yet. If you have one your fine.

Dad's subie got knocked back by CAMS because they didn't accept an FIA spec cage from custom cages. But when he rocked upto High Country he got one, as the car ran under AASA Targa. Gotta love consitancy

Interesting, Skylines are not eligible for 2B or 2F as per this list: http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/02_race/c.%202nd%20Category/RA18_Group_2B-2F_EligibleVehicles_Q411.pdf

But 2A has no particular/relevent restrictions except only 2WD can race, and they have to have 2 seats. So no reason that couldn't be it.

But you are in QLD so none of this really matters for racing, right? AASA race regs will chuck you into touring cars (super TT) and irace will put you into Jap/Muscle cars. Neither of which appears to have any particular restrictions, so get out there and give it a go.

If you want to race CAMS you are up against the porsches in sports cars. I am not sure about QLD but in NSW the state champ sports car racing is 2F which Skylines are not eligibile for (I am working on application though)

BTW all the dirt rally regs are also on the cams site for anyone who is looking at those classes:

http://www.camsmanual.com.au/04_rally_road.asp

These are the high level classes:

Group 3 - Club Rally Cars

Group 3C - Production Rally Cars (PRC)

FIA Groups A, N, R, Super 2000 and Super 1600 Kit Variant

CAMS Group N (P) Rally Cars

Showroom Rally Cars

Historic Rally Cars

Classic Rally Cars

like racing, there are non-CAMS categories like AMSAG

They just look too restrictive in terms of ability to move across to circuit racing to me. And I guess very few tarmac rally-ers also do dirt.

If anyone has run under a targa event in their car under AASA and is having dramas getting a CAMS log book, or is having difficulty in the cage certification process please all the targa office - there has been the odd situation like Brendon's STi that have required some event explanation.

Glad to see you're rebuilding so soon Paul. Was great to meet you at THC and i'm sure i'll see you out at future events.

We had an interesting THC, Dad had just recovered in time for the event. Managed to run several minutes faster overall than last year, still not fast enough though! Ended the event with the front brake pads worn half way through the backing plate and a car that was overheating and down on power. Hopefully will have everything ready for TWP!

Anyway here's a vid of one of the better stages for those that are interested. Watch in HD if you have fast enough internet...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
