Hey luke,

How much difference does a half cage make?

Does the chassis feel tighter?

Does it help much with going sideways?

Where are the mounting points on a 4door?

Is it very difficult for passengers to get in and out of now?

Did you have to chop much of the interior trim?

Hey mate,

Chassis feels alot stiffer with next to no body roll. When jaking the car up from the rear tow hook it raises evenly. I only do grip (4wd) but out on track steering is very responsive. I had to drill holes to mount it in. mounting points are on the rear wheel arches, right behind the drivers seat near the door and in the front on the floor. I just leave my back seat out, roof lining stays in, sunvisors come out.

Cheers Luke

Thankjs for the reply,

So does the extra stiffness out weigh the added weight?

Ive removed sound deadening, A/C, heaps of shit behind the dash so i should still be below the factory weight.

Wanna get it on a weigh bridge and see how much it is. Later on will be fibre/cf doors, bonnet, boot etc but not for awhile.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
