:cheers:

decided it would be easier for me just to use the ceffy as a track/event car. As such with the current mods etc i wont need to comply it nor get a normal RWC, instead im going to register it as a Rally Vehicle :rant:

just got off the phone with Russ or whatever his name is and wen over the details. When i get my CAMS L2S licence via our club all i need is to provide a copy of it... the application form and a scrutineers report saying that the vehicle has no major problems and is safe etc and i can gets me a rally permit!

costs a little more than a normal rego... but the costs of getting a normal rego far out weigh one of these. This also means i dont have to pay for towing the car all round the place even at jack from citywides more than awesome rates! (go the plug!) :)

only downside is it can only be used on the road for transport.... but pfffffft who cares! i can still use it on our OFFICIAL CLUB meets etc as they are approved by cams ;)

hmmmm thats not what vic roads said... i told them about my car etc and they said thats fine as long as it passes scrutineering then thats fine... they were more worried about the licence which apparently any of the CAMS licences cover.

Definitely says National Rally License or higher.

I only say all this cause we were looking into it for a modified R32 GTR and in the end I dont think it could be done.

You can drive the car on a L2S - but you need at least an R3 (National Rally Licence) to register it.

And thats $$$ per year!

:werd:...otherwise i would have a pretty serious track car, as opposed to bashing around in my daily driver :Oops:

Even if you import it as a 15yr old vehicle, you still need the correct licence and log book from cams to get the thing registered. If your car was a '92 model you would have had to get the rego/CAMS thing sorted prior to the car beign shipped

according to the vic roads "specialist" (took 3 people til i got someone who knew what i was on about... they all thought i wanted to do WRC or something stupid) you only need a licence from CAMS.

"so the L2S licence is fine?"

"yes any CAMS licence"

its nothing to do with CAMS other than having to get a log book from them and keeping that in the car... each event has to be authorised or qualified by the CAMS club... ie an official CAMS covered event.

Its all on the web site... ive been looking at it for the past 2 weeks and also clarified with him the wording on the site about "international OR a HIGH level competition licence".

Im actually going to go down there and speak to someone in person just incase.

btw i didnt say it had anything to do with my car being 15yo... what i am saying is that i dont have to get it completely complied ie. child restraints etc. "as long as its safe"

Inark - When you find out the exact details and weather this can be done can you send me a PM, cause my bro is looking to get some thing similar for his drift car Silvia, because he doesnt wanna pay $1500 for compliance when the car is only used once a month for drift events.

Cool, it looks like you have been doing your homework. Just be careful what advise you are given...my money is still on you need a higher licence then the L2S (my thoughts are that a "High Level competition licence" will require a medical, and more then likely observed licence test, if so do a rally/dirt one as they are cheaper and easier then the tarmac/circuit tests)

The only reason i mentioned the 15yr thing is thats how you got the car imported into the country. If you had of tried to use rally registration to get import approval for the car you will have found that you need a C3 etc licence...but who knows you may have found a loophole...use the 15yr law to get the car here, then use a lesser club licence to get the car registered ;)

I hope im wrong, it sounds like i may be :P

you guys have been in the game and more involved in it than me so i value ur input...

dont worry i wont be counting on this to be the only way to get my car in use... i was just looking into it as it seems to be a more viable idea seeing as i only want to use this for events and so on.

fingers crossed the guy i spoke to wasnt blowing smoke out his arse... but it does seem a little too good to be true.

thats a good one steve... will check that out too and confirm but those ones that cant be registered after is because they were not eligible for import into the country under normal circumstances whereas mine was.

will definately check it out thjo

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
