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?

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

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
