Confirmed Entry List (entries full)

https://www.meecamsau.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&eventId=609&Itemid=521

At this point entries are full, thank you everyone for the interest. Sorry to those who didn't make it in, however this is a test event for us. I'm hopeful to open entries to a larger number of people next time around.

There are still a couple of spots up for grab to new members who want to get involved. So if you've signed up in the last 12 months, PM me.


As most of our members are aware, our previous Motorkhana facility (DECA Shep) was sold in 2014. The new owners of the facility altered the hire arrangements and made it impossible to insure the facility under AASA.

The committee with your support spent a good part of 2014 investigating new venues to conduct Motorkhana and entry level Motorsport events in 2015.

I'm happy to announce that we will open entires to members for our first Motorkhana of 2015 this Friday the 16th of January 2015 at 7AM. Entry details will be published on the forums, facebook, email and on our website.
In preparation for entry you should sign up for a CAMS Event Entry login (free). As this is the system we will be using to manage entries for this event.
https://www.meecamsau.com/

We will be taking entries via credit/debit card only. Processed through the CAMS secure payment system.

There will only be 30 positions available!
Saturday the 28th of February
Members Entry Fee $85
Affiliated Car Clubs Entry Fee $105

Please read the suppregs and ensure you read through and understand them carefully.

(note this is our first CAMS template and we will improve the consistency as we move forward)

The new facility is the Foresite Training complex in North Laverton. We have to extend a thank you to the owners and operators of the site for allowing us to conduct this (and hopefully future) events.

Example of site (not setup as we will have it)

SAU VIC has been affiliated with CAMS for a number of years, which allows our member to apply for competition licenses and attend track days, hill climbs and Motorkhana events held by other clubs under CAMS insurance.

The big change for SAU VIC in 2015 is that we will be conducting events under CAMS insurance.
In previous years a AASA license would have allowed you to enter our Motorkhana events, this is no longer the case. You will need to hold at a minimum a CAMS L2NS license. This type of license will allow you to attend our and other clubs Motorkhana events only.
We would suggest that you opt to get the L2S license however, as it gives you access to attending events at track days (Sandown, Phillip Island, Winton, Calder etc).

CAMS requires you to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club (of which we are), so if you aren't a member of SAU VIC become one today.

The schedule for the event will be forthcoming closer to the date. This being the first time using the site and running a CAMS based event, we expect there will be some bugs to iron out.

We will also be announcing shortly:
> Driver Skills and Practise Day (Sandown)
> Driver Skills and Timed Laps (Broadford)


Yours sincerely,
SAU VIC President
John Richardson

Share on other sites

so the insurance is limited by the venue, eg calder/PI refuse AASA insurance.

this venue is being run under CAMS insurance and thus they don't allow AASA licenses.

we were having trouble getting AASA to cover some of our events (one of the reasons deca died off for us)

so we have moved to CAMS so yes you need a CAMS license, but still better than no events at all.

nope but they will take insurance from dodgy brothers so long as they could get a booking.

basically in VIC it just winton and calder that will accept.

we need CAMS for all the other venues we will be hiring this year as well,

plus cams work everywhere so people much better off to have that anyhow.

Entered. God bless SAU-Vic member priority entry - gonna suck if you aren't a member, looks like this is gonna sell out fast

And as for CAMS / AASA - just get CAMS, you can use it at AASA events ... So you never have a problem with will/wont it work

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
