you need to check the regs for the series you want. IPRA (3J) for instance does not allow cage outside the cabin. 3E does. 3D has specific requirements as well (side intrusion etc).

Targa Tas has moved away from CAMS regs....and from a quick look this cage doesn't meet CAMS regs because there is no diagonal at the B pillers, just a lateral bar.

Looks great though and the support points where mutliple bars meet are the goods

i HATE how these motorsport inspired build threads have been moved. I only visit the motorsport section (well mostly) and IMO moving to here has killed the threads.

Just some feedback for you mods/admin.

me too :D unfortunately i'm not a dictator though and there was some support for this section. god knows why but it's where we are at now...

cage looks excellent btw. :D

oh, and suspension wise on a dollar for performance ratio I reckon it's hard to go past a set of Murray's home built proflex. considering the quality of his gear, and the benefit of aussie support for revalving, repair, or replacement it's a great way to go. they are not particularly cheap but considering some of the options run up and over $10K per corner his prices are quickly put in perspective...

well it's been pissing down today, so i couldn't get pics. i'm planning to take the guards off and do some seam welding tommorrow, also after helping damo with his car last weekend, i'm going to remove all of the body sealent, as all it seems to do it seal rust in.

What ben is trying to say is he is gonna see if he can weld better than me then if not ill be seem welding 2 cars. or he can come and finish mine off.

unfortunately my seam sealer had a special one way water absorbing quality. every where it is the rust will follow.

So envious of the "Two Bens R32 Racing" GTSts :P My thing is sitting idle still trying to be a road car. Love the cage. Is YT reasonably priced as in Melbourne that would be a $4000-6000 cage!

I so want a track car but stranded in friggin India and am changing my mind every 3 days between Caterham, my R32, another R32 or doing what normal people do with the money and buy a Hou...err 2002 Vette :)

The cage was in the $3500-$4000 range. I'm really happy with how it came up.

bloody tassie weather, i preped the front of the car ready to weld, and then it started pissing down again.

pics uploads are being fail atm, so i can't upload pics yet :P

yay pics are working again

preping for welding before the rain...will probably need to go over it again tommorrow

reson for no main hoop diagonal is that yt only puts them on on request (unless its cro mo), i spoke to him about it, and it's a pain in the arse for putting helmates in the back between stages, and nursing them between stages isn't much fun. unless you have a big hit on the top bend of the main hoop, the other bracing will pick up the force. he's made a lot of cages down here, and quite a few have ended up in the trees, so i was happy with what he said.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
