i plan on putting in a roll cage in my car, but i have 2 concerns regarding it

1) is there some way i can still retain use of my backseat? or is this a sacrifice i have to make do without for a cage

2) is there any way it can be fitted in the rear without being put through my parcel tray into the boot ( stereo issues)

if not then ah well ill make do without the cage but just an idea incase the car starts runnin quick times

cheers...ben.

1) Generally Japanese cages don’t go through the parcel self. They bolt onto the rear wheel arches, as per the pic of my cage.

2) As you can see from the pic the rear bars bolt onto the wheel arch, thus having a rear seat wouldn’t fit unless the seat was re made to fit around the bars, and then you have the issues of getting around the diagonal brace if you wanted one. Why you would I’m not sure as its illegal to carry people in the back with a cage.

Hope that helps :D

*Edit* If your running quick times you’ll need an ANDRA approved cage anyway, so I guess the above is really not relevant as you would be getting a custom one made no doubt.

if you want to run unrestricted ETs with no cage, take a drive down to Heathcote.

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto 
    • Please let me know if anyone has seen my black Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 taken from Robe Terrace, Medindie, SA suspect taken between end of March to early April 2025! Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
