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?

General Requirements/Administrative Procedures

DRC Vehicle Preparation

1. Contact CAMS WA to obtain DRC and Logbook paper work (9444 3188).

2. Obtain/complete the Inspection Record for CAMS Dedicated Rally Car (DRC) (Doc No. Y) form from CAMS. Discuss any technical matters with CAMS Scrutineer as required.

3. Apply for a Department of Transport (DoT) Vehicle Standards Exemption Application (DoT form for immobiliser, harnesses etc) and obtain Approval Letter from DoT for the exemptions. Note go through Welshpool Licensing Centre only for all matters relating to DRC’s.

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

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
