you cannot bring in a race car with an L2S. you need a minimum C3 (now called NC) - national circuit licence. to get an NC licence you must first hold a PC licence and compete in a certain number of events in 1 calendar year. check the cams site for the current requirements.

crikey.. well there u go eh.. i always thouht it was l2s.

i always thought it was l2s.

what is actually required for your car to enter these events tho? most dont need current rego.

just to pass the scruitneering (sp) ?

to bringing race/rally car etc u need level 3 which is the national cams license..

the guy at dotars told me that if its specified as a drag car, there are no restriction to wht the car can have, and all u need is history that u race and provide the right license, in which case is ANDRA.. this way is heaps more simple... say its a drag car n my brother can show his history and license and then it gets approved and comes here!

im pretty sure he said u jus provide license type and history of motorsport, in this case which drifting is a L2NS... show ur histry etc, and u should be able to bring it in...

didnt go into too much detail... i jus gonna do the drag car way, lot simpler, and my brother n his mate have done that b4 so we kno what to do. he jus bought in a drag corvette 3500HP without a problem... so i think bringing in a 500hp whatever car for drift should be pretty simple.

thanks

Even for drift you need a NC (C3) or higher to get an import approval. Once it is here if you do not need rego anyone can buy it from the importer but CAMS expect the importer to be the driver....ie I personally would not be bringing in cars for other people to use in case I was refused when I wanted one next lol.

If you need rego, rally rego in NSW requires an L2S or higher.

Steve, my 91 GTR was $9,400 landed.

muahahah its a vspec now!

no just a stocker non vspec, about 120,000klm, was 450,000yen at auction. it was tired but that wasn't an issue since i had to redo everythign anyway

I haven't looked for a while at gtr auction prices but I assume they have gone back down from the insane prices when the 15 year old rule was in.

FOB price plus say 2k for shipping and 1k for brokers fee....its pretty cheap.

Thanks for that, i will be looking into it for myself in the next few months - ive decided to get serious about hillclimbs, but i wont wreck my white r32 in order to do it

Now it just comes down to the paperwork and finding someone with the right cams licence, i only have L2S

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
