I've been trying to find a bolt in cage to suit my 33 GTR. I'm wondering if anyone distributes them in Melbourne. I would prefur to buy in melb just in case there are any fitment issues.

Does anyone know of cusco distributers etc that could source a cage?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know about Melbourne, but there is bond roll bars in Sydney that make kits up either bolt or weld in.

Bond Roll Bars

Thanks. I might give meridian a call.

I'd prefer to stick to a bolt in for reasons of resale value. Also easier to remove if I get hassled by the cops. I only wan't it for the track, but I guess an engineering certificate will be ineviatable.

Can you recommend some workshops fit for the job? SE suburbs.

Brown Davis and Merridian are both E or SE arent they? And both should know how to make em legal and be able to point you in the direction of someone for a cert... i think a ADR legal 6point cage for my datto was gonna be 2k or so, was a while ago tho

i thought that roll cages are legal? as long as they bo not block the doors. and do not have the bar affecting the front and rear windscreen. >_< thats wad was said on the vic roads site.

I have a half cage in my R32. It was done by Brown Davis in bayswater for about 1k.

It can be removed by just taking the front seats out. They give you all the paperwork for CAMS and ADR stuff. The catch is that you need to register it as a 2 seater for it to be road legal. Not hard to do but if you re-register it as a 4 or 5 seater after that then it has to have an engineers cert even if you only put the stock belts etc back in.

I've left mine as is for now though.

I wouldn't get a jap built cage if I were you. Technically they can't pass CAMS scrutineering, due to the bars being too thin, aswell as too many bends.

My cage was built by Brown Davis, and I am very happy with it.

Any pics Russ, similar to mine?

Agreed re: Jap cages - none of them meet any AUS requirements.

If they don't - you gotta wonder why... if its a safety issue then stands to reason to pick a AUS made one to AUS specs (which are tighter than japs)

Too true, but it's funny that a Cusco Safety 21 is not CAMS approved but it is ANDRA approved.

Brown Davis did my cage for the 34, can't fault it.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
