Mild steel cage? Bugger about the side intrusion bars being the way they are...otehrwise i would have almost handed over the cash straight :)

Yeah it is made from mild steel. I know that there is regs on how many bars etc and where they have to be to be Cams approved but what they are I don't know. The car is still out at Jason White (Lambo driver in Targa) workshop who built the cage and the doors etc are still off it so I can't see it being to hard to modify the side intrusion bars. If you are interested let me know what you want changed and I will see what he thinks it will cost and we can negotiate. Ph 0409004259

hahaha @ the speed stuff you do - how is that more dangerous that coming into a corner with a 170 km/h entry sideways and keeping your foot into it while banging the steering on full lock ;)

I have a 4 point rollcage, the top bar is a seperate peice so there is no bends, only two where it bends to the contour of the rear window. It is the approved thickness and has been padded. Made by KSP engineering in Japan.

Yeah they DO NOT pass cams regs but we all race non-speed events. I am sure the rules will change soon and all our jap cages will need removing.....(as ther is now way in hell of them getting approval) i will go see the boys at MEIDIAN motorsport for our new weld in.

The rules already state you cat run them, even for non-speed events. Teh rules say if you run a cage, then it must comply. The loophole at the moment is that it says the Stewards of the meeting may allow you to run. Once they realise they are the ones accepting the liability for letting you run then it will quickly change. There are already some folk (Snr Stewards etc) that are pretty vocal on this front. Its a good thing they are not needed to run the drift days etc...otherwise the change may be happening quicker then some competitors would like.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
