Hey Guys

As I stated in my first post im only 17yro. So im still on my red ps. Meaning I can only drive my r33 on the track!

I live in Sydney, Nsw.

Whats the go with track hire or going to the track with my r33?

And whats the cost and conditions?

Do I have to do my cams licence. And if so. What exactly is it that you do for it?

A test? Or just a course to say you've completed it?

Thanks in advance.

Tyler

Tyler you need to join a cams affiliated car club like SAU NSW.

Then you can apply through CAMS for your license. As you are classed as a Junior you will just need your parent or guardian to sign the form too.

You need a L2S cams licence. See here:

http://www.cams.com.au/get-involved/competitors/getting-started

You need a car club affiliation to go with it. If only there was a Skylines club that held track days..........

SAU NSW has a track day in September... Check the events section!

Yah or you can also get a club racing license through SAU once your a member. This covers you for most of our club days including the upcoming one at SMSP and texi. I currently just have this license. But if your racing more often then a CAMS one is much better.

Does the cams licence allow you take a passenger?

Ive read on a few sites and called a few places (wakefield etc etc) and they said no passengers are allower.

How do I join SAU?

Yes.

And no.

It depends on the event. Some such as rally sprints allow you a navigator. You are allowed an instructor at times. And on some practice/ride days passengers are allowed. But it depends on the event and on what the circuit allows the event organisers to do.

Best bet would be to get a AASA. Licence to begin with only $50 I believe, doesn't require you to be a member of SAU, but highly recommend you do for cams licence and other good deals

Then go to events section and enter into SAUNSW trackday next month and bring your friends who will be able to be passengers with you during the day

And can also fill out a form to join SAUNSW on the day

Ok sounds good

Ill try get that done soon. In the next week or so. Hopefully my cars out by then. Still has to be broken in and dyno tuned so may be strapped for time.

Thanks guys

Broken in? :blink:

The cars currently at meer motorsport blacktown getting an engine overhaul.

Forged pistons

New turbo

Metal head gasket and head studs

Injectors etc etc

The lot

Was only on like 70psi on one the cylinders from running to much boost from the previous owner. We paid nothing for it though so its still a cheap car for the power its going to put out.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
