Yes Ferni - you need a CAMS licence. But getting one is no big deal - you can even get one on the day. Basically just a fee of $91pa (you also have to be a member of a CAMS club. But most track days you can get memberships on the day as well)

Ash - dont worry about it mate. $20 to fix it was no big deal.

Bugger off you lot....I wanted them first!!!!!!

I started another thread on Ben's awesome performance http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=38887

I was on stock tyres with rapidly disintegrating rear pads...had to drive home on metal so the brake shop gets some of my money to machine them. Ended up on a 1:36.1 but as you can see the anti roll bars need an upgrade. Tyres were melting pretty fast as well. Can't wait for Sydneykid to dismantle my setup and driving style from the pics.

BTW he will be down at Sandown this weekend (or maybe next...he did say next today so maybe this weekend is clear for the cruise.....I'm so confused) so i for one will be going for the racing and to say hello.

Hopefully R34boy (if that was him) has the pics of the 'rarri that smashed.

Slow car... slow camera.... We get the idea James, you are a slow kinda guy in general.

Aw :Oops:

I guess I'll have to pull my finger out and hit the track.

Avatar changed until I do something about it...

As was discussed at the MAS/Committee meeting last week... (might have been after you left Adam)

SAU - Vic will not have any affiliation with NDSOC in relation to CAMS etc.

Members wanting to do track will have to join with them directly.

We looked into it and currently... aint gonna happen

For more Info, see myself/Snowman/Jameszilla.

we are all upto date with whats going on there and can provide more information if you like :(

Uh huh, had left. GOD DAMN IT!! :)

Ferni - no test - just fill it in :)

Everyone who was SAU on Sunday - Sorry I didn't come say hi and introduce myself - all the excitement was too much for me!!

Also all your mega cars are a bit daunting...

im looking fwd to getting onto a track... wont fix up the body on the ceff til AFTER i do a track day :D the kit on it looks like it would be taken to peices if i went off the bitumen :D

$91 bucks? thats pretty good, i was reading and it was saying it was a few hundred / year

is there a driving test involved etc?

ferni, the C3 full race license is and needs a test. Most events like this just need L2S, you join a cams car club, fill in a form, pay $91 and you're on the track

l2s license http://www.cams.com.au/content.asp?PageID=...rs&ObjectID=311

c3 license http://www.cams.com.au/content.asp?PageID=...rs&ObjectID=301

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
