Hi Dust Brother,

I'm pretty sure Rally ® and Circuit © licenses are seperate systems.

You can come to the open track days that we get along to a fair bit, these only need standard drivers license. For wakefield open practice days you just pay about $30 for a wakefield license (for a year). For open practice at Oran Park or Eastern Creek you need a C3 or higher license.

Dragon18, circuit racing license (C3 and up) require an "Observed License Test", you can either take this seperatley or as part of a 1 or 2 day race driving course. Once youve done that you have to attend a flags lecture, medical and pay up! Oh, and you have to join a CAMS affiliated club like SAU NSW. Check www.cams.com.au for full details.

Hey guys/gals

New to the forum having just sold my MX5 and bought a 33gts-t series II. I have a 2NS and have done about 30 track days both in Vic and NSW over the past 2 years.

Zane, is that the zane from the MX forum?? Met you up at wakefield last year when the vic MX5 guys came up.

Anyway, the reason I wanted to get onto this forum is to find out if there is a club with a few skylines in Vic that does track days. I am currently a member of the MX5club vic and maserati clubs but would love to play with some other skylines......

P.S Very excited, my first day on the track in 'Brutus' is on the 4th Oct at Phillip Island with the HSV club. Got new track tyres and pads and figure why not get used to having 3 times the power of an MXC5 on one of the trickiest, fastest and potentially dangerous tracks in Oz!!! Ah, turn one, I can't wait.....

I have a National Rally Licence.

Dust Brother... the NRL permits you to compete in all events that were covered by the old L2 (now L2S). This includes (but is not limited to) all "non-speed" events (motorkhanas, night runs, etc), khanacrosses, sprints, hillclimbs, Touring Road Events, National rallies (obviously)... just about everything you might reasonably want to do without getting in to door-banging.

If you're in SE Qld or NE NSW (or further afield - we get entries from all over), check my event on 24 July: http://www.queenslandchallenge.com

As for costs... a CAMS L2S will do most people and they are as cheap as chips. Hell, an NRL is only $132!

L2S requires no observed test but these tests are a dawdle anyway. They are more concerned with your ability to behave responsibly and take instruction from officials.

I have a L2S licence. This year I am competing in the MSCA sprint events through the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club. I'm hoping to compete in next years GP Rally and some other tarmak rallies that require the L2S only. So much fun. :rant:

    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
