Hey guys,

I have ran a 10 in my gtr, and i have been told not to come back untill the car meets andra requirements.

the thing that i am stuck on is the rollcage/halfcage, i am still undecided if i will weld a car in the car or not, as i use it almost everyday. I was just wondering does anyone have any pics of halfcages that have meet the andra requirements ? and if so could you post them up for me to see.

Cheers

Bobbo

A completely bolted in half-cage is not compliant - according the current ANDRA Tech Director Ken Dickie. At least the main hoop must be welded into the car. (back-stays and side intrusion bar may be bolted in.) Unfortunately however, due to the description present in the ANDRA hand book, this point is not clear (along with a boatload of other stuff-the ANDRA rulebook is rediculously light-on)

I have been through the process of sorting what is and isn't compliant in the last few days as I am having a cage fitted to my car at the moment.

A full cage(minimum 6-point) is required for 9.99 and under, and the half-cage (4-point) for 10.99-10.0.

Hope this helps

Sean :P

Here's a pic of the front of ours...its a 6 point weld in. Full pics can be seen in the last HPI GTR special (the one with Garage Saurus R32 on the cover)

i have half cage in the cressida.

sean is correct

the main hoop must be weld in as set by ken dickie head of andra technical.

rear stay can be bolt in, i had mine welded in

side intrusion can be bolt it. i did this so the car is street legal.

JP fabrications on the central coast did mine, i was happy with the job and the price.

speak to buster i believe he is in the process of getting a cage also.

in qld to be street legal cars have to have a bolt in cages not weld in.... as stated in the light vehicle modification book... the way around this is to do both, weld it in put bolts through it and hope for the best.

jap cages dont have the required wall thickness

I have measured a few Jap cages and the wall thickness has been fine. The Japanese standard allows the same size pipework in all elements of their roll cages. The main problem is the main hoop OD is smaller than the ANDRA and CAMS standards. The other pipework elements are OK.

:P cheers ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
