Hey guys,

So a mate of mine reckons that if you have a CAMS licence, you are able to obtain a permit to drive a "race use only import" on the road. This would be for the sole purpose of travelling to and from events/workshops but could obviously be embelished a little :rolleyes:

Is this true? Or is this a twisted version of the truth?

4. Contact CAMS Scrutineer to make an appointment for rally car inspection and sign-off Inspection Record form upon completion of build.

5. Upon approval from Scrutineer apply for/obtain CAMS vehicle Logbook.

6. Once passed by the Scrutineer make an appointment (within 28 days) with the DoT (Welshpool only) to have your DRC inspected. A fee will be charged, allow approximately 2 hours for the inspection/processing of licence application etc.

Take the following documents with you to both the Scrutineer’s inspection and the DoT Examiner’s inspection:

 CAMS and WA civil driver’s licence, CAMS vehicle log book (once obtained), and driver’s CAMS affiliated car club membership card;

 Vehicle homologation papers and/or workshop manuals, roll cage certificate/homologation papers, import papers (DOTARS) etc;

 CAMS Letter of Introduction (Form No. X);

 CAMS Inspection Record for DRC signed by Scrutineer (Doc No. Y);

 DoT Vehicle Standards Exemption approval letter; and

 Engineer’s reports covering any special modifications, e.g. steering, roll cage, brake hoses where applicable (Refer to CAMS DRC Manual).

7. Upon successful completion of the Examiners Inspection the DRC will be eligible for licensing which can be completed at the same visit. DRC number plates will be issued by DoT at this point. Note cars being licensed for the first time will also be subject to full Stamp Duty rates.

8. Take the DoT approvals to CAMS for log book notation and CAMS stamp.

DRC Conditions of Use

A DRC is a CAMS log booked vehicle built for the sole purpose of competing in Rally events under the rules of the FIA and CAMS. A DRC can only be used on public roads under the following circumstances:

 To drive directly to and from and participate in an official CAMS motorsport event, including scrutineering;

 To drive to and from official promotional events, including media days and displays;

 To drive to and from maintenance/repair establishments;

 For any other purpose at the request of the WA CAMS office; and

 In compliance with DoT requirements of concessional licensed vehicles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

DRC Annual Renewal

All CAMS DRC’s will undergo an annual renewal inspection for compliance with the technical requirements of the DRC Manual by a CAMS’ Scrutineer to retain DRC eligibility and subsequent licence renewal. Scrutineering can be conducted at pre-event scrutineering, the final method/details of annual renewal inspections to be advised by CAMS following implementation of the DRC Program.

Completion of the annual inspection will be recorded in that vehicle’s CAMS Log Book. DRC’s which no longer meet the criteria of the CAMS DRC Program or fail to be presented for annual inspection will cease to be considered a CAMS DRC and will be removed from the listing, with the DoT being advised for cancellation of the DRC registration

R35 GTR here I come baby!

You need to log book the car and show you will be entering events, the car must be to cams spec (r.g roll cage which means you are looking min 5k just for the cage)

Plus you need a cams license and not just a lvl 2 speed which means you need to get your events log and take a test etc to go to the higher level

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
