Hi all,

I've had a weld in CAMS spec roll cage fitted by Walker Chassis here in SA - now the car is a rolling shell at the moment but i know i need to get the cage approved by CAMS.

HOW do I go about this? I went into the CAMS office here in Adelaide with my paperwork from Walker Chassis, however they were not very helpful...

I'm also planning on getting the interior painted soonish and wondering if this needs to be approved before its painted.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

-Matt

Follow the below link and click on the safety cage registration form on the bottom right. As far as i am aware you fill out this form and send it along with your log book paperwork and they will process it.

Good luck.

Hi there, i was extremely happy with walker's roll cage, I believe he hadn't done one before in a cefiro and took on the job without any hassles. I've been in contact with him again to get some more work done and again - no worries, and quite happy. I just need to sort out the appropriate certification to go with it now.

I had a look at the link and still kinda confused as to what I need to do next.

I dont have a CAMS log book - so I'm thinking i need to apply for one, but i'm not sure what class etc (cefiro RB26/30).

Also I have a completed hard copy of the safety cage registration form already (this is what I tried to take to CAMS in Adelaide...) just unsure what i do with it or where / who to send it to.

Sorry if these are stupid questions,

Thanks

I thought that logbooking the car was the process of getting the cage approved (that's the main thing they look at with logbooks). Didn't know there was a separate "cage approval" process.

Mind you, it's many years since I've logbooked a car, and I know that some things have changed.

I would get it logbooked as soon as possible, as CAMS have a habit of changing regs, and what complies with their regs this year may not comply ext year. Once it's logbooked, it only needs to comply with the regs that were relevant at the time of logbooking.

Hey Matt, cams approve a roll cage by log booking your car. when you log book the car you are assigned a class.

assuming the ceffie is rwd you have 2 choices - production sports cars or sports sedans. read both sets of regs and decide which one works best for you - but I think you will probably need to go sports sedan because if you want to race it you would need to choose a category that is active over there.

Once your car meets these regs you get the rollcage paperwork and the log book application, get the cage builder to sign the paperwork, and send it all to CAMS. They then send you back a log book and you need to organise for "pre-race scruitiny" where someone comes out and makes sure the car complies with the regs. Then you are right to go.

Thanks Duncan for the helpful explanation :down:

I will just continue to build the car and once it's back together arrange a CAMS scrutineer to attend and tell me what else is required to make it approved.

I think I will have to be sports sedan but I will read it and confirm.

My cage builder has completed the CAMS paperwork already, so I guess it's up to me to get the car back together now.

Thanks again

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
