I've realised that my licence has lapsed, and I am due to attend a track day on Saturday. The licence renewal/application for states that a 30 Day temporary licence can be obtained through the CAMS endorsed club, but it's not applicable for renewals (new applicants only!)!

See the bottom of the application form here: http://www.cams.com.au/downloads/paperform...Application.pdf

I'm certain that my new licence wont arrive before Saturday, so what can I do? Any ideas?

This has happened to me aswel Jon

Easy fix - ring CAMS and be as nice as you can, then explain the situation (first time renewing etc) and apologise, then ask if they can please tell you your licence number or even fax a quick coversheet to you saying that, then take that to the trackday

Its worked for me in the past :whistling:

Hey mate,

If you have infact renewed your licence.... not really sure from your post, you can get cams to fax through an authority form which you take with your old licence and show the officials and that will be fine to get you on the track!!!!

Thanks sanger.

I called cams this morning and explained the situation. The guy said "Just make a note on the application that you will be requiring a temporary licence, and provide a fax number for the licence to be faxed to."

Sweet! - Thanks for you help guys!

It turned up on my fax machine only an hour or so after I faxed the application form to them! :D

I was planning on having to annoy them about getting the temp licence to me, but I was pleasantly surprised!

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
