: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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
