Paulie,

At this point in time, Skylines Australia QLD Club is not CAMS affiliated. With our small member base, that is ever increasing, theres not really enough of us to have that option yet.

It has been previously discussed for us to become CAMS affiliated, but with no CAMS tracks in QLD, we didn't really see the point of it at this point in time.

Regards,

Erin.

Surely you guys have sprints and hillclimbs run under CAMS permits?  I know Qld raceway have their own insurance but there must be other events thru CAMS?

Yeah I think there are a few, such as Gatton St Sprints are from memory. Is dutton rally as well? Cant remember, but there are a few.

I'm pretty sure Mt Cotton hill climb and Noosa hill climb are CAMS events. Similarly, if you wanted to progress to full class racing, a CAMS license is required. The track does not need to be a CAMS track to run a CAMS event.

If there is appropriate demand for the club to become cams affiliated then it will be re assesed but as of the last time it was discussed there was little to no interest in people obtaining cams licences. Most of our members will never do any more than the odd track day at Qld Raceway which as pointed out, has its own insurance. While it may be an attraction to future members currently we have not had the members nor the interest in the club to warrant it.

As was said before, the club is growing and the decision we made on the cams affiliation is not a final decision, it will be re assessed in the near future as is the case with most things regarding the club.

If you feel the qld club should obtain cams affiliation please email any one of the club exec and we will take into consideration your request when we next discuss this matter. Alternativly members of sau-qld who wish to see the club become cams affiliated should get in contact with one of the club exec and make it known that you wish for your club to become affiliated.

As was stated earlier, previously only 2 or 3 people had expressed interest in obtaining a cams licence through the club had it been available to them. This was seen as evidence of a lack of desire or need of a cams licence by most if not all members of the club which was the main basis for our previous decision on the matter.

sparc was still active when i last checked, however i let my cams licence lapse as i havent used it and didnt plan on doing anything till my car was in better readieness for it.

i do know they were having a bit of financial trouble a while back, but afaik they were still running. there is also a list of cams car clubs on the cams website.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
