Yeh, worth the wait. I knew after speaking with David that he would be great for one of our meetings. Even if you werent into cages he was great to listen to , and has so many years experience in motorsport any car lover could listen to him all day.

Tonight just re-affirmed my intention to go for a 4 point cage with diagonal bar, harness bar and bolt in side instrusion for the track (lol + a CAMS compliant camera mount to catch my next crash). If people are serious about going ahead with this, he is happy to do a good job for us. Im not overly fussed about knuckling down a 'Group Buy" price as such. In my eyes, happy to pay money for a good product, as in my eyes its already great value. But that said, there is effeciencies in cutting 3-5 lengths of everyhting while all the jigs etc are all set up and it seems we could pocket a $50-100 saving just by being a little more organised.

So if you are interested, pm me your email address and we will get something sorted via an email mailing list.

On a side note, its my hope to get a similar motorsport orientated speaker every 3-4th meeting. The guy im trying to line up now will be very cool if it pans out. :dry:

He actually was classified 1st in handicap points. Fair effort that.

Anyways - I'm super keen on the half cage with removable diagonal / harness and side intrusion bars. Not sure if one size will fit all but for under $1K it sure is piece of mind and I get to keep the back seats.

Thanks Guys for your kind comments. The lil GTR ran well and we even took a stage win off Jim Richards in Stage 2 which is one to go to the 'pool room'. If anyone wants to know about our Tarmac experiences I am happy to help where I can as the learning curve has been pretty steep.

Cheers,

Drew

I have updated our Youtube page with a stage run from last weekend. Apologies for the quality, it looks much better on the plasma at home I can assure you.

I thought the meeting was next week. Sad I missed it. I've been seriously tossing up a cage for a while. I really want to run on slicks and stiffen up the car plus minimise the crash factor.

Could I please have a point brief on the half cage keeping the rear seats in? Also did he give an indication on prices?

Drew could you pm me with what you have done to stop the car being taily. Your car seems to handle really well with little under or oversteer.

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
