No fires in this one Duncan, Ive got a proper extingusher system for it from the good guys at revolution (shamless Plug)

No mate unforuntatly im not giving anything away just yet. But it is special where it counts.

The underside is where the real trickery has happened.

Ill send you a few "money" shots tommorrow. Just for your own viewing.

are the cams type cages any stronger than the japanise cages (assuming it's one that the front pegs go through the dash, and arn't all bendy). or does the thicker walls make up for the smaller diamiter?

Some of the bolt in Jap cages can be reasonable strong but in a good rollover they are utterly useless.

A cage thats bolted together without any decent reinforcement is going to buckle under the weight of a decent rollover.

The wall thickness of most jap stuff is not overly great either.

And the majority of them have one cross support from the hoop to the rear leg mount and thats it.

The large type clamps most local builders use for bolt in cages are far better than the single eye bolt jap versions

My old GTR had a modified/extended bolt in jap cage, it was decent in that I had added a full cross bar and good intrusions.

It was still no where near good enough for the speed the car was capable of.

Ive done the whole cage at home in the garage (I make a few of them so no stranger to cages)

Its now got an engine and is 75% finished

Are you planing to make a new wold record by jumping 56 London busses with that cage?

engine finally back together :P but we found that the manifold is wrap so need to take it off and replace it or machine it, also need to make up a catch can too.

needs a tune asap, stock pfc map, 5000rpm limiter, and used 40L of fuel in 163km lol

phunky,

where did you get the tailshaft made?

It was done by a local mod here in Melbourne. I can find their name out if you want?

Ben: That looks tops mate, love it. Are they Troy's old WEDS? Suit the car really well

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • 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
