OK, my experience with NSW RTA and Rally import

1) Your import approval needs to be a Rally Import. There is another category Race import which can never be registered. They are not the same

2) Import Approval requirements as per normal, plus you need to provide proof that the car is eligible for race OR rally. For a GTR it is on the FIA Homologation list www.fia.com/sport/Homologations/homol_vehicles.html. (although the homologation expired last year it is still eligible)

3) Also for import approval you need a National Rally or International Rally License. If you have a C3 or C4 circuit license you can get an additional National Rally license for about $100 after completing an online (easy) Rally course thru CAMS.

4) Once it arrives you need to apply for a log book which will include a scruitineering check and a detailed spec check of the car

5) NSW - Once the log book and scruitineering are complete you can apply for rego. You need CTP, blue slip, log book, import approval and a L2S or higher license.

6) You can use the car to race, transport to practice or transport to workshop. Before driving each time you ring CAMS and get a permit number. You need to carry all relevent papers in the car.

This sounds tough but is all quite possible if you get Rally (not Race) import approval in the first place. And as Andrew pointed out since there is no compliance you do not need to return it to stock and there are no restrictions on build date or car as long as it is eligible to race.

hmmmmm i think people are getting the wrong idea as to what im talking about. A rally permit doesnt require a Rally imported car. It has nothing to do with how the car comes into the country. A Rally Permit is only a UVP thats a year long and is used for getting cars to and from events.

If you brought a car thats already been registered in Victoria thats worked off its tits and you wanted to use it as a track car, rather tha having to get it all engineered or try and get it thru RWC you could get a Rally Permit from VIC Roads for it to enable you to be able to drive it to and from a track.

My cars already been imported as a 15year old car.

All that is required for a Permit (or REGO) of this type is:

-CAMS licence

-Log book (CAMS)

-Completed application form

-Scrutineers cert or RWC (as i would need to comply my car an RWC is out)

The cost is $100 more than normal rego.

Yeh i get ya:thumbsup:...its just that soem of us have looked into this, and it has usually has resulted from ppl lookign to both import and get registered a car. So yours is already here, you just need to get it registered:)

Once my car is back on the road and i have finished spending money on it i was looking at gettign as Escort Rally/club car, so the rego thing is the same as i would be gettting club historis rally rego....but thats all looking a bit sick now, the UK beckons:)

Ni - you are still missing the point. Read the following from the Vic Road web site:

An applicant for a Rally permit must be a member of a car club affiliated with a VicRoads approved National Motorsport organisation (ie. Confederation of Australian Motorsport) and be the holder of either:

National Rally Licence (or a higher level competition licence);

or an international Rally Licence

However:

The operator of the vehicle must be the holder of a:

current National Rally Licence (or higher level competition licence) or;

a current International Rally Licence

an alternative competition licence approved by VicRoads

So I'll say it again. Having a normal track day CAMS licence will be sufficient for you to DRIVE the car - and you will need one to drive it at any time - but you can't register it with just one of those. You will need a Rally Licence to register it.

no UR missing my point...

if vic roads approve of the licence it is OK.. it doesnt have to BE an international or national according to the person i spoke to.

so this is what i am going on and what ive been saying for the past 20 posts

thats the first thing i confirmed as thats the whole reason i rang vicroads to confirm.

and what u have pointed out was the first thing that popped into my head but they left an opening in their wording to say it doesnt HAVE to be a HIGH classed licence.

i WILL be confirming this with their head office however... once again i am going down to see them and confirm everything as facts... until then there is still hope.

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.

i guess i should have aye? :mad:

Or you could buy a set of trader plates :mad:

This doesnt help much though but a few wrx members have bought old commo's for track work and have registered them under classic historic . Around $100 a year and allowed to drive to and from events and repairs/maintenence , they to have to be a member of a cams approved club and require ANY cams licence . Car has to be road worthy but doesnt require a RWC .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
