Hi m3m3nto, I'm thinkng along the same lines as Duncan. Generally speaking the Japanese spec cages are too small for our regs. What we need to know is the OD of the pipework and its wall thickness. This is particularly relevant to the main hoop (the one juts behind the drivers head).

Ive been told this cage was only used for the race look. Im not sure if it can been used in legal drags.

I dont know much about them as when I got the car the cage wasnt full installed, The pipe is 4cm and with rubber a good 2inches. Ive been told this the normal size.

I know the main hoop seats behind the drivers head, its seats behind the roof light, so a fair bit away from you head when seated.

I also know your back seat may need some moding to make it fit in with the cage.

I was also told if this was going to be used with drag racing that it would need to pass some test.

The cage fits to the roof but does not push the roof in and the is hardly any gap between roof and cage, fits snug.

Sorry im not the best with this if you need more info plz ask ill do my best to answer.

sorry if i didnt answer ur questions to well

OD = 5inches

The thickness is hard to say as it has no holes to let me measure it, going by the joiners I would say 0.5cm thick im only guessing tho.

Can you let me know the regulations on the cages so i can find out for myself and others.

I will email the guy I got the car off to see if he knows.

Hi M3M3NTO, from memory the CAMS regs for circuit racing is;

Material has to be cold drawn steel tube (CDS).

Tensile strength = 350 MPa min

Main hoop OD = 45 mm with 2.5mm wall thickness

or OD = 50 mm with 2.0 mm wall thickness

other bars OD = 38 mm with 2.5mm wall thickness

or OD = 40 mm with 2.0mm wall thickness

Hope that helps

Cage is....

Main Hoop OD = 40mm with 2.5mm thick

others bars are the same.

This is a Jap cage and is not made for drag racing, the bars are in good condition, rubber needs a clean and has a few marks.

Im asking $700.00 Neg, Aproved Racing Roll Cages are worth well over $1k.

Hey M3M3NTO

I think the "Kid" is trying to say maybe too expensive.... Dunno, but an approved bolt in to meet CAMS X Sydney inc GST around $AUD800.00.

The "race look" is fine and dandy, but maybe this will give you an idea of what the market can stand.

Ciao

you don't need a roll cage to pass Andra unless your running a 10 second 1/4 mile and then it can be a bolt in, if you do 9's it has to be welded in so for your average Joe this cage is fine

and I find it hard to believe that you can buy an approved bolt in for $800

It will fit a GTST but u will have to mod the back seat, have to cut a little of each side, ive been told this is easy for people who deal in that stuff.

if you have more questions email me at

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
