Hey dudes,

pretty much i'm lookin at buying a car that i will only use as a track car. It is already in australia, registered in qld but i'm thinkin of bringin it down to VIC, leave it unregistered and just use it at the track.

Now i was wondering is there any sort of permit u can get that will allow me to drive my car to and from events. I think CAMS has some sort of this thing somewhere in there licensing details, but i couldnt find it. So is there any cams license that will allow me to drive my car directly to and from events.

And speaking of cams who would i speak to off these forums if i wished to become an official sau member, which will make me eligable for a cams license.

Cheers guys

Simon

i think you can get a discounted registration, that lets you take classic,etc cars out on weekends or during organised events.

if the car isnt street legal, i dont think they will let you drive to an fro events. trailer time.

just my understanding, which could well be unfounded, etc.

Drop me a line. I have a wad of CAMS and SAU Vic forms sitting on my desk.

I know Vic roads have permits for stuff liek that and I remember seeing a "single trip" section which I think would be for this kind of thing. Give them a call and they will sort you out.

$50 a year for SAU Vic (plus $20 joining fee) and $80 for your L2S CAMS Licence, cheapest in Vic I think you'll find, cheers.

If you have ANY cam's license, then you can apply for a Rally Permit. Its allows you to take your car to and from ANY Cam's events (so a cams registered Skyline cruise is fine), and dosen't require the car to be road legal.

Failing that just get a A-Frame and tow the car behind your skyline ;) Its what I'll be doin with my race use AE86. I've got access to trade plates too so I can drive around on them to and from events and workshops etc.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
