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...

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
