Hi Jules, The guy to go and see it Steve Maitland, Maitland fabricators, makes the majority of cages for all the waneroo race cars. Cost will depend on how many points the cage is, but it's damn expensive:(

If you want to go cheap then you can just buy a bolt in cage.

Jules , the CAMS and ANDRA specs are different and one cage will not be legal for the other unless the CAMS one is engineered.

pwptpf is right , Steve Maitland is good , on time and on budget.

Other places to try are Ballistic Racecraft ( Wangara I think ) and Guru Welding ( Carlisle )

Mark Bourne who is operating out at Fastlane in Wangara is another one.

Both Mark and Steve have done cages for me and Louie ( Guru's ) have done plenty for guys I know in Rallying

Cheers

Ken

when's he taking a holiday Steve, and also finishing your gtir?  Would want it done sorta quickly so may have to grab one of the other guys to do it, no drama

will go see those guys next week, cheers Ken

Aside from maitland, Kim ledger at LF has just employed Brad stacey who's also pretty ace at cages..

Paul a few factors make it legal, material is the big one, CDS or cold drawn seemless steel is the easiest option to make a cage with, as chrome moly and ally need to be inspected and signed off by an engineer..

other than that the cams rule book describes in detail different cage designs and whats legal, you can add extra bar work in to your desire, but it must comform to the regs regarding clearances and the like..

as a side note a lot of the jap bolt in cages are not legal, and cusco are the only brand i can think of that make legal cages, but not all of there cage models are..

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
