What Cams Licence Do I Want?

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been posted before, or if I'm in the wrong section - or doing something wrong... but... I'm just curious what CAMS licence I should apply for?

I've had my car just over a month or so - it's a Prelude VTi-R, and I had a little accident the other week in the wet (wasn't speeding :) ), due to my inexperience with the car - so basically I'm wanting to get into driving on the track in a much safer environment, learning how to drive at my limit and hopefully one day, the limit of my car...

Am I best off getting a Level 2 NS or Level 2 S CAMS licence? From what I can tell - Level 2 S allows me the same things as Level 2 NS? And all I need to do to get Level 2 S is just send off the form? :)

Seeing as I don't own a Skyline (and I *think* SAU is CAMS affiliated) - are there any other CAMS clubs I should look at? I'm really a total n00b here, so anyone who can guide me in the right direction - please do!

Thanks! B)

The license you need is a L2S. L2NS only gives you access to motorkhanas and other non-speed events like drift.

If you want to give CAMS track days a go you need a L2S.

If you are in NSW you can join SAU NSW we are CAMS affiliated and you do not need to own a skyline. Same goes for SAU VIC if you live in VIC.

Finally, in NSW there are a lot of track days that don't need any CAMS license at all, they generally run under the organiser's insurance. eg Wakefield Park open days don't require a CAMS license.

The Honda Sports Car Club NSW is CAMS affiliated, if you want to stick with your brand.

Aside from that Duncan is about right. The only thing is that, even though the CAMS affiliated drift clubs only need a L2NS at the moment, with their speeds rising I don't think it'll be long before they require a L2S anyway.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
