yeah I haven't had a chance to call yet either Harry, but will do so regarding standard/production/street cars.

will try and remember to ask about restrictors in IPRA too, otherwise my production car will end up in sports sedans which is rubbish.

Interesting find there stu.....they really should be following those since they are specific to this and only this event.

im keen but also confused as hell by all these crazy cams rules.

so freakin complicated and the sheer amount of paperwork needed is stupid.

is there a cams office in brisbane? where you can go to sort all this out or do i need to send smoke signals to warwick via snail mail and cheques

its starting to look easier/cheaper/less hassle to go AASA topgear racing/irace at this point...

Come on Cal, As good as Lakeside is, I want a bit more variety. I'm thinking of doing the Sprint Series at Morgan Park next year - its cheap and great fun. @day events using different track layouts for each round. Standing start Supersprints against other cars - like a mini head-to-head race. :P I might do a dirt sprint at Ipswich and a motorkhana here and there as well. Plus there's sprints at Stanthorpe which is a fun little track. And heaps of other stuff. Superlap is a CAMS event too btw :P :P

The CAMS club membership and licence are both just annual things, but it is a PITA to have to get a passport photo the first time you get the licence I guess.

SAU QLD are CAMS affiliated - join SAU here:http://www.sauqld.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=1648. They're also not exactly expensive. They run some other events as well - skidpans, drags and stuff.

Then the easiest way to get the CAMS licence is download the form and pay by credit card L2S licence application

Keep the tear-off 30day licence at the end of the form and get the SAU guys to sign it. You can use this if your proper licence doesn't arrive in time. Or pay in person at CAMS State Office at Sports House Milton and they will complete that for you on the spot.

Your entry for the event still needs to be sent via smoke signal to the organising club at Warwick - most clubs have credit card facilities for entry, but WDSCC don't. So its either cheque or money order. You could get a bank cheque from your bank or money order from the post office.

And QLD registered vehicles also need a CTP Insurane extension to cover them for the event. Its just a letter from your CTP insurer saying they're aware the vehicle is being used in competition, and lists the dates and event name. Depending on the Insurer they can be free or $10ea. Suncorp and NRMA i know are free. Some Insurers you can just call and they will mail/fax it out to you, others you have to go to a branch and get it in person.

OK you're right - it IS alot of paperwork and a PITA! lol

My entry is in the mail now though

strange attitude considering a club is about like minded people working together on a common interest. Without clubs, who do you think would run events for you?

anyway...CAMS is a confederation of clubs, so if you want a CAMS license you must be a current member of one of their clubs.

I'm sure you can start your own club for difficult people who like cars. Cost runs to the thousands for incorporation, annual returns, memberships, audits etc.

seems crazy from where im standing..

so howcome its costing 100 for the license, 220 for the trackday... then MORE for some irrelevant CLUB?

iv got friends who are like minded people and it hasnt cost me any money so far

surely the license itself could include me in the cams club?

alright if youv got lots of money to burn but not everyone does mate :]

It's just one of those things Cal.

I'm with BSCC (Brisbane Sporting Car Club), have been for eons. Cost is $90- per year from memory.

They hold monthly meetings, have guest speakers, you get discounts from being a member at various retailers.... it's worth it, even if you're not an active member, which I'm not as they are gravel biased.

They run dozens of events during the year, many of which I know you'd be interested in.

And as Dunc says, CAMS is a confederation, ie, people make the clubs, the clubs make the confederation.

I'm goign to Lakeside on the 7th to try out a few changes!

Without the Car Clubs, we wouldn't have Morgan Park, the Autocross track you're going to, Mt Cotton Hillclimb, Carnell Raceway... Its the local car clubs that built them. We also wouldn't have anyone running autocrosses, motorkhanas, hillclimbs, and even state level race meetings!

WDSCC (Warwick District Sporting Car Club) built this racetrack themselves. Bill the man to thank for the place even existing. It started off as a short circuit dirt track, and has continually expanded and grown thanks to the hard work of Bill and locals out there.

What's happening there? Are you running an event, or just a play day? Are FWD shopping trollies allowed?

By the way, NDSCC (gravel rally club) membership is $30 a year. If you can't afford that, I'm surprised you can afford to put petrol in your tank :P

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
