I attended the CAMS State Council meeting in Lithgow today along with carlo and Majanal.

The Council accepted our application with the result being Skylines Australia NSW is now affiliated with CAMS.

:jump: :P :headbang: :band: :rave: :Party: :headspin:

Any financial members can apply for competition licenses and we can get insurance cover for events.

If you are interested in knowing more about CAMS go to http://www.cams.com.au/default.asp, the link for license info is here.

For the basic Level 2S license go here to read about Speed Events and Motorkhanas. These are the typical club level events that we would be going along to. Initially we will be contacting other clubs and asking if we can come along and join their events.

If you have any questions that can't be answered on the site drop me an email/pm and I'll do my best to answer it. :P

A big thanks to Dino for organising and following through on this.

Also to Carlo and Dan for their part.

This is a big step forward for the club and I'm sure other members and potential members will benefit from the work put in from the above mentioned folks,

Cheers you guys !

Well, when registering for events (race, sprint, hillclimb etc) you need to show your current CAMS membership card, which is issued by the club you belong to. Only thing is, both clubs I've been in (Honda and Improved Production) had same membership cards with CAMS logos on them.

Just wondering how that will work for us, I can check direct with CAMS if you like, or maybe you guys have some sort of liason contact.

Another q, what do we do to get CAMS insurance for our events, do we have any rules/guidelines we need to follow, or can we just declare our Fast n Furious drive in night an SAU event.

Oh, and can the club now issue L2S CAMS licenses? How will they be administered?

Sorry for all the q, I just think this is a really important step forward for the club, and it would be great for members to understand more about what it means.

I'll check with CAMS on monday, I have no doubt it's changed and what you say is correct. Maybe we can just put the CAMS logo on our cards now. :P

That's what I was learning about today. They are going to clarify just what exactly the requirements are. There's a 6 week lead time to get a permit (if required, and it probably will be). Go to the CAMS NSW link and read the April Tale Spin Newsletter for a bit more info.

Go to the link in the first post for the license info. It's probably just as easy to send the form straight back to CAMS rather than to us. It will definately be processed quicker. L2S is the basic one required for speed events.

I agree, keep 'em coming.

:P

Good timing too - can announce at the SAU NSW qtrly meeting tomorrow.

Dare I say, the first BIG (HUGE) milestone for the club after 12+ months of operation.

Well done again - and very proud/pleased to be a member of such a professional & affiliated organisation.

Duncan,

That course we did at Finlays, what license does it allow us to obtain?

That is the "Observed License Test", lets you get full C3 circuit racing license.

Hillclimbs, sprints etc just require L2S which SAU can now issue :D

I think that you have to get C3 within 12 months of course - so y'all better hurry up if you don't want to do it again!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
