yeah I haven't had a chance to call yet either Harry, but will do so regarding standard/production/street cars.

will try and remember to ask about restrictors in IPRA too, otherwise my production car will end up in sports sedans which is rubbish.

Interesting find there stu.....they really should be following those since they are specific to this and only this event.

im keen but also confused as hell by all these crazy cams rules.

so freakin complicated and the sheer amount of paperwork needed is stupid.

is there a cams office in brisbane? where you can go to sort all this out or do i need to send smoke signals to warwick via snail mail and cheques

its starting to look easier/cheaper/less hassle to go AASA topgear racing/irace at this point...

Come on Cal, As good as Lakeside is, I want a bit more variety. I'm thinking of doing the Sprint Series at Morgan Park next year - its cheap and great fun. @day events using different track layouts for each round. Standing start Supersprints against other cars - like a mini head-to-head race. :P I might do a dirt sprint at Ipswich and a motorkhana here and there as well. Plus there's sprints at Stanthorpe which is a fun little track. And heaps of other stuff. Superlap is a CAMS event too btw :P :P

The CAMS club membership and licence are both just annual things, but it is a PITA to have to get a passport photo the first time you get the licence I guess.

SAU QLD are CAMS affiliated - join SAU here:http://www.sauqld.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=1648. They're also not exactly expensive. They run some other events as well - skidpans, drags and stuff.

Then the easiest way to get the CAMS licence is download the form and pay by credit card L2S licence application

Keep the tear-off 30day licence at the end of the form and get the SAU guys to sign it. You can use this if your proper licence doesn't arrive in time. Or pay in person at CAMS State Office at Sports House Milton and they will complete that for you on the spot.

Your entry for the event still needs to be sent via smoke signal to the organising club at Warwick - most clubs have credit card facilities for entry, but WDSCC don't. So its either cheque or money order. You could get a bank cheque from your bank or money order from the post office.

And QLD registered vehicles also need a CTP Insurane extension to cover them for the event. Its just a letter from your CTP insurer saying they're aware the vehicle is being used in competition, and lists the dates and event name. Depending on the Insurer they can be free or $10ea. Suncorp and NRMA i know are free. Some Insurers you can just call and they will mail/fax it out to you, others you have to go to a branch and get it in person.

OK you're right - it IS alot of paperwork and a PITA! lol

My entry is in the mail now though

strange attitude considering a club is about like minded people working together on a common interest. Without clubs, who do you think would run events for you?

anyway...CAMS is a confederation of clubs, so if you want a CAMS license you must be a current member of one of their clubs.

I'm sure you can start your own club for difficult people who like cars. Cost runs to the thousands for incorporation, annual returns, memberships, audits etc.

seems crazy from where im standing..

so howcome its costing 100 for the license, 220 for the trackday... then MORE for some irrelevant CLUB?

iv got friends who are like minded people and it hasnt cost me any money so far

surely the license itself could include me in the cams club?

alright if youv got lots of money to burn but not everyone does mate :]

It's just one of those things Cal.

I'm with BSCC (Brisbane Sporting Car Club), have been for eons. Cost is $90- per year from memory.

They hold monthly meetings, have guest speakers, you get discounts from being a member at various retailers.... it's worth it, even if you're not an active member, which I'm not as they are gravel biased.

They run dozens of events during the year, many of which I know you'd be interested in.

And as Dunc says, CAMS is a confederation, ie, people make the clubs, the clubs make the confederation.

I'm goign to Lakeside on the 7th to try out a few changes!

Without the Car Clubs, we wouldn't have Morgan Park, the Autocross track you're going to, Mt Cotton Hillclimb, Carnell Raceway... Its the local car clubs that built them. We also wouldn't have anyone running autocrosses, motorkhanas, hillclimbs, and even state level race meetings!

WDSCC (Warwick District Sporting Car Club) built this racetrack themselves. Bill the man to thank for the place even existing. It started off as a short circuit dirt track, and has continually expanded and grown thanks to the hard work of Bill and locals out there.

What's happening there? Are you running an event, or just a play day? Are FWD shopping trollies allowed?

By the way, NDSCC (gravel rally club) membership is $30 a year. If you can't afford that, I'm surprised you can afford to put petrol in your tank :P

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
