Wait, what?!?! Am meant to be updating my car's CAMS log book?!????!?

some of us don't have cams log books yet. If you have one your fine.

Dad's subie got knocked back by CAMS because they didn't accept an FIA spec cage from custom cages. But when he rocked upto High Country he got one, as the car ran under AASA Targa. Gotta love consitancy

Interesting, Skylines are not eligible for 2B or 2F as per this list: http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/02_race/c.%202nd%20Category/RA18_Group_2B-2F_EligibleVehicles_Q411.pdf

But 2A has no particular/relevent restrictions except only 2WD can race, and they have to have 2 seats. So no reason that couldn't be it.

But you are in QLD so none of this really matters for racing, right? AASA race regs will chuck you into touring cars (super TT) and irace will put you into Jap/Muscle cars. Neither of which appears to have any particular restrictions, so get out there and give it a go.

If you want to race CAMS you are up against the porsches in sports cars. I am not sure about QLD but in NSW the state champ sports car racing is 2F which Skylines are not eligibile for (I am working on application though)

BTW all the dirt rally regs are also on the cams site for anyone who is looking at those classes:

http://www.camsmanual.com.au/04_rally_road.asp

These are the high level classes:

Group 3 - Club Rally Cars

Group 3C - Production Rally Cars (PRC)

FIA Groups A, N, R, Super 2000 and Super 1600 Kit Variant

CAMS Group N (P) Rally Cars

Showroom Rally Cars

Historic Rally Cars

Classic Rally Cars

like racing, there are non-CAMS categories like AMSAG

They just look too restrictive in terms of ability to move across to circuit racing to me. And I guess very few tarmac rally-ers also do dirt.

If anyone has run under a targa event in their car under AASA and is having dramas getting a CAMS log book, or is having difficulty in the cage certification process please all the targa office - there has been the odd situation like Brendon's STi that have required some event explanation.

Glad to see you're rebuilding so soon Paul. Was great to meet you at THC and i'm sure i'll see you out at future events.

We had an interesting THC, Dad had just recovered in time for the event. Managed to run several minutes faster overall than last year, still not fast enough though! Ended the event with the front brake pads worn half way through the backing plate and a car that was overheating and down on power. Hopefully will have everything ready for TWP!

Anyway here's a vid of one of the better stages for those that are interested. Watch in HD if you have fast enough internet...

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet.
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.
