I am thinking of import a race only car.

I knew that i require a CAMS licence but i am not sure what level of cams lic. will eligible for this

and once the car landed, other than the FOB cost, what else i need to pay in order to register it as a race only car? (tax, race car compliance?)

how much a year for register?

thanks

To obtain an Import Approval you will require a Level 3 CAMS licence, which will allow you to import the vehicle and compete on the track (as the some of vehicles was sold in Australia it is otherwise ineligible for import). Once imported for race purposes, the vehicle can be B registered, allowing you to drive it on public roads only to and from events and for other legitimate purposes. A Level 3 licence is not all that difficult to obtain -- contact CAMS directly to find out more.

I checked out race rego with VICROADS about six months ago and in Victoria any car that isn't 30 years old or more can only get race?rally reg on a race by race basis!!

So basically everytime you want to drive the car you have to apply for temp rego for the race days only and supply the entry documentation etc!

All the dodgy importers in Melb Fooked up the rally rego scheme about 5 years back by abusing it.

In the end it was all too hard and I bought a trailer to carry my car around

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
