: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

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
