Hey guy's,

Can anyone with first hand experience please tell me the protocol with regard to driving under the rally permit scheme? I have been told you need written approval from CAMS to drive said car , say to the repairer to prepare for that event. Below is an excerpt from Vicroads:

Conditions of Use

1. A Rally Permit is a 12 month Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) which permits the use of a vehicle for the following purposes:

during approved rallies conducted by a club affiliated with a national motorsport organisation approved by VicRoads

ie associated transport stages of an approved rally

travelling to or from an approved rally

in testing the vehicle for an approved rally (letter from CAMS permitting test is required)

for reasonable travel to and from a place of repair and for reasonable testing to confirm repair

2. That the operator of the vehicle must be the holder of a:

current National Rally Licence (or higher level competition licence) or;

a current International Rally Licence

an alternative competition licence approved by VicRoads.

3. That a log book of a type approved by VicRoads is also maintained and carried in the vehicle when in use (CAMS logbooks are the only approved type).

4. That the permit is not transferable.

sorry, I can't help re the vic rules (i have the equivalent in nsw).

just wanted to mention that all tarmac rallies in vic run under AASA rules which will be a problem for my reading of those rules

  • 7 months later...

can i ask why you went for RP instead of normal rego?

im planning on building another 33 gtr just not sure whether to buy a complianced gtr, transfer it then cage it up, or import an unregisterable car for race use.. im assuming RP allows for uncomplianced cars ye?

My car is fully Australian compliant, was Taswegian reg, however the chap I purchased the car from wanted to send the plates in? so no way registering VICROADS therefore Rally reg the only way to go ( probably safest with regard to very occasionally driving on road (always to the mechanic, mind) and hopefully not attracting attention with the boys in blue as they will see Rally Plate and it will register to them as a rally car not a caged performance car for the streets.

If it's a genuine rally vehicle, and not just a dodgy way to drive an illegal car on the streets, then head over to BMSC to find out more. http://www.bmsc.com.au/forums/

There have been several discussions about rally rego (these are gravel cars, but the tarmac rules may be similar as far as rego goes). I know that the Vic's seem to do some weird stuff when it comes to rally cars and legislation. You're more likely to strike people who have done the hard yards over at BMSC.

My car is fully Australian compliant, was Taswegian reg, however the chap I purchased the car from wanted to send the plates in?

Was it fully registered or only SI?

If it was SI the rego is non transferable and the plates would have had to be handed in upon change of ownership.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
