Hey guys,

So a mate of mine reckons that if you have a CAMS licence, you are able to obtain a permit to drive a "race use only import" on the road. This would be for the sole purpose of travelling to and from events/workshops but could obviously be embelished a little :rolleyes:

Is this true? Or is this a twisted version of the truth?

General Requirements/Administrative Procedures

DRC Vehicle Preparation

1. Contact CAMS WA to obtain DRC and Logbook paper work (9444 3188).

2. Obtain/complete the Inspection Record for CAMS Dedicated Rally Car (DRC) (Doc No. Y) form from CAMS. Discuss any technical matters with CAMS Scrutineer as required.

3. Apply for a Department of Transport (DoT) Vehicle Standards Exemption Application (DoT form for immobiliser, harnesses etc) and obtain Approval Letter from DoT for the exemptions. Note go through Welshpool Licensing Centre only for all matters relating to DRC’s.

4. Contact CAMS Scrutineer to make an appointment for rally car inspection and sign-off Inspection Record form upon completion of build.

5. Upon approval from Scrutineer apply for/obtain CAMS vehicle Logbook.

6. Once passed by the Scrutineer make an appointment (within 28 days) with the DoT (Welshpool only) to have your DRC inspected. A fee will be charged, allow approximately 2 hours for the inspection/processing of licence application etc.

Take the following documents with you to both the Scrutineer’s inspection and the DoT Examiner’s inspection:

 CAMS and WA civil driver’s licence, CAMS vehicle log book (once obtained), and driver’s CAMS affiliated car club membership card;

 Vehicle homologation papers and/or workshop manuals, roll cage certificate/homologation papers, import papers (DOTARS) etc;

 CAMS Letter of Introduction (Form No. X);

 CAMS Inspection Record for DRC signed by Scrutineer (Doc No. Y);

 DoT Vehicle Standards Exemption approval letter; and

 Engineer’s reports covering any special modifications, e.g. steering, roll cage, brake hoses where applicable (Refer to CAMS DRC Manual).

7. Upon successful completion of the Examiners Inspection the DRC will be eligible for licensing which can be completed at the same visit. DRC number plates will be issued by DoT at this point. Note cars being licensed for the first time will also be subject to full Stamp Duty rates.

8. Take the DoT approvals to CAMS for log book notation and CAMS stamp.

DRC Conditions of Use

A DRC is a CAMS log booked vehicle built for the sole purpose of competing in Rally events under the rules of the FIA and CAMS. A DRC can only be used on public roads under the following circumstances:

 To drive directly to and from and participate in an official CAMS motorsport event, including scrutineering;

 To drive to and from official promotional events, including media days and displays;

 To drive to and from maintenance/repair establishments;

 For any other purpose at the request of the WA CAMS office; and

 In compliance with DoT requirements of concessional licensed vehicles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

DRC Annual Renewal

All CAMS DRC’s will undergo an annual renewal inspection for compliance with the technical requirements of the DRC Manual by a CAMS’ Scrutineer to retain DRC eligibility and subsequent licence renewal. Scrutineering can be conducted at pre-event scrutineering, the final method/details of annual renewal inspections to be advised by CAMS following implementation of the DRC Program.

Completion of the annual inspection will be recorded in that vehicle’s CAMS Log Book. DRC’s which no longer meet the criteria of the CAMS DRC Program or fail to be presented for annual inspection will cease to be considered a CAMS DRC and will be removed from the listing, with the DoT being advised for cancellation of the DRC registration

R35 GTR here I come baby!

R35 GTR here I come baby!

You need to log book the car and show you will be entering events, the car must be to cams spec (r.g roll cage which means you are looking min 5k just for the cage)

Plus you need a cams license and not just a lvl 2 speed which means you need to get your events log and take a test etc to go to the higher level

    • What a wonderful journey to read. Loved the photography. Literally found this an hour ago and couldn't stop reading, plus checking out a couple of the links. Was interesting as you had a few mods very similar to my sons Gtt, including the sheetmetal homemade V-Spec II rear diffuser, can't be too many of them around the world. Only to find it sold about three weeks ago. Well at least I won't have to keep re-visiting for updates. Anyway, well done on not just the car but the well written story and descriptions, and of course the pics. Good luck on your next one. Rob
    • Forgot to update. I ended up removing it and found out that it's dead. The car seems to run better than it did, although I haven't driven it hard yet. Literally just a flow restriction.
    • Sounds like the rack seals blew.
    • ^ This is all good advice. I can imagine that there's some passive components in the HVAC controller that run that PWM output that could die, or suffer bad solder joints. It can be worth opening it up, taking a schmooze around looking for swollen electro caps, evidence of liquid escape anywhere, tracks that have been hot, lifted, cracked, etc. A DMM might not be suitable for seeing if the PWM output is pulsing. Might be too fast and too low voltage for a DMM to keep up. An analogue voltmeter might give a better hope. I use a handheld oscilloscope (<$100 from Aliexpress if you want something cheap). A DMM might see the voltage across the motor flicker. Otherwise, as above. If you can successfully see PWM action, then the control side should be good. If you can't see it with what you have, you might need to step up the instrumentation used, as above. Beyond that, and dbm7's advice on testing the motor directly, you're down to looking for broken wires, corroded connector pins, etc.
    • So Thanks for the comments etc. To follow up on this, we went down the path of fitting a divider down the middle of the external pipe that was added to the exhaust manifold and the divider went from very close to the external wastegate all the way up to the "V" part where the pipes from each side of the manifold joined. After this modification it was finally in a position to do the dyno-tune with some degree of success. Top end power was down about 10kw (250rwkw down to 240rwkw) I believe from previous but it seems to be more responsive lower down and at least it is now driveable and fun and back on the road to be enjoyed. Apparently the timing couldn't be run the same as it was running into knock and boost was down about 1psi. For all we know this could have been from the fuel being a bit older, or perhaps some slight complication from the new head gasket as we didn't have compression figures from before that mod to compare. I'm no mechanic and this is second hand info but I just wanted to follow-up to those that commented or read the original post with interest. After so many months of stuffing around this is a big win. The interesting part was most of the info around this was gained from information around Barra motors and not GTR as the manifold setup on the Barra with single turbo was more similar.  Thanks for those that helped with info. Regards Rob
