I didn't renew my CAMS licence either. All my race reqirements can be met by QR and Willowbank with an occasional sorty to Warwick.

It would be nice to have a run at Noosa but as with most CAMS events....it's too bloody expensive. QR cators for Drift aswell

CAMS keep the day license pretty quiet they want people to take out the full year license instead. There is no doco on the license application form about it, and most clubs runnign events don't know about it either

Join the QRDA if you wanna run cams events, Start doing short circuit, get your lvl 3 and run long circuit events, run hill climbs, sprints, super sprints at warwick or qr, stanthorpe and gatton (dont need it for sprints obviously, maybe for warwick??). It depends how serious you wanna get with racing. Wanna have weekend warrior fun, stick to the sprints. Its a sure safe way to have fun in your road car.

The other point is most peoples cars probably wont pass for most cams events due to lack of modifications. Generally you run a full out dedicated race car for most serious cams events. But people like that predator guy with his black road registered r33 who races in 2a closed sports cars. He tells me he drives to the track and wins every race and then drives home again. He even stated that in the article in HPI or whichever magazine it was i saw that article. So people with road cars do race in serious cams events.

SPARC is still going. they're definitly struggling, but still going. at thier recent AGM they voted in a new commitee who say they want to revive the club and attract new members. Membership fees are now reduced to $35.

you can run stock standard cars at CAMS events - hillclimbs, sprints, supersprints, autocrosses, dirt sprints, motokhanas, street spints, road rallies (touring road events), khanacrosses... the only mods you need are some basic safety items like a fire extinguisher. You can do all those on a L2 licence. Its only if you want to go door to door circuit racing, or rallying, that you need a cage and all the other gear.

That what i meant by not being cams certified for the door to door stuff. Hence why most would run a dedicated race car. You dont want your road car getting all banged up...or even possibly completely stuffed.

Apologies for the inaccurate information, i was being very vague with the details and just rambled off what was coming to mind in no particular order. Cheers for filling in the details hrd-hr30.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
