I didn't renew my CAMS licence either. All my race reqirements can be met by QR and Willowbank with an occasional sorty to Warwick.

It would be nice to have a run at Noosa but as with most CAMS events....it's too bloody expensive. QR cators for Drift aswell

CAMS keep the day license pretty quiet they want people to take out the full year license instead. There is no doco on the license application form about it, and most clubs runnign events don't know about it either

Join the QRDA if you wanna run cams events, Start doing short circuit, get your lvl 3 and run long circuit events, run hill climbs, sprints, super sprints at warwick or qr, stanthorpe and gatton (dont need it for sprints obviously, maybe for warwick??). It depends how serious you wanna get with racing. Wanna have weekend warrior fun, stick to the sprints. Its a sure safe way to have fun in your road car.

The other point is most peoples cars probably wont pass for most cams events due to lack of modifications. Generally you run a full out dedicated race car for most serious cams events. But people like that predator guy with his black road registered r33 who races in 2a closed sports cars. He tells me he drives to the track and wins every race and then drives home again. He even stated that in the article in HPI or whichever magazine it was i saw that article. So people with road cars do race in serious cams events.

SPARC is still going. they're definitly struggling, but still going. at thier recent AGM they voted in a new commitee who say they want to revive the club and attract new members. Membership fees are now reduced to $35.

you can run stock standard cars at CAMS events - hillclimbs, sprints, supersprints, autocrosses, dirt sprints, motokhanas, street spints, road rallies (touring road events), khanacrosses... the only mods you need are some basic safety items like a fire extinguisher. You can do all those on a L2 licence. Its only if you want to go door to door circuit racing, or rallying, that you need a cage and all the other gear.

That what i meant by not being cams certified for the door to door stuff. Hence why most would run a dedicated race car. You dont want your road car getting all banged up...or even possibly completely stuffed.

Apologies for the inaccurate information, i was being very vague with the details and just rambled off what was coming to mind in no particular order. Cheers for filling in the details hrd-hr30.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
