Preliminary Rollcage Ideas (courtesy of a picture off the internet and MSPAINT)

Green bits will be included if they are affordable and allowed under CAMS (nothing about them in sched. J of the cams manual though)

Purple bit will only be included if its cheap and the cage builder tells me its worthwhile.

Not sure which way to go with side intrusion yet. If double, apparently the old school X is not strong at the join, it needs to be gussetted or use two bent pipes welded together instead.

If single, I think I prefer it running right back to the harness bar as it doesn't create a bend point halfway up the main loop then...

What about the ladder style side instrusions? And the purple bit is the other bar to make the roof cross/X right? Would of thought that would be pretty standard for a cage builder to deal with ie not that expensive? Stuff penetrating the firewall is generally more expensive and difficult from what I've seen/read about on the internet.

I would prefer the two bent bars for the side intrusion but it's not like it's door to door racing so you're not likely to have anyone come crashing through your drivers door.

Squares are bad. Triangles :ninja:

Yeah, but I think the second part of the "X" is redundant here. Leaving it out will save weight and probably cost. Unless the engineer tells me its important its gone.

Yeah, but it also gives the most benefits for chassis rigidity. If its allowed by cams and not stupidly expensive, I'd like to include it.

Yeah I havend decided yet... the two bent bars would be best but the single bar would be lighter and probably enough. Unless I decide to use it for rallying and then I'd want the double bars.

I'm also tossing up wether to put a harness bar on the main loop as well so I don't have to run them right to the back...

Triangles obv > squares agree was just throwing it up as another option.

Most of the cages I've seen either have an X or a V in the roof. If engineers reckon it isn't needed I'd leave it out but I'd always want that extra protection if a roll over happens

Definitely better for rigidity but I only ever see it on the more serious cars which makes me think it will probably be prohibitively expensive.

Have a look at how Risking on here does his cages. He has the harness bar in the main hoop aswell I'd rock it like that if you can

Yeah found this thread, it's given me a few ideas for changes.

I might go with the V roof, it looks pretty strong (triangles) and not much more weight than the single bar

Martin & Dan will be westward bound for project alfa and thus be late.

I don't want to be just sitting there with my dick in my hand for 2 hours... so who else is coming?

Yeah football with out kicking is a bit shit, The only real problem you get is knock ons, leads to some interesting convos, so perhaps league rules with one touch rule, that being if the ball hits the ground its a turn over.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
