Yeah I understand that but to me it don't make sense if you take the car to the track twice a year.

Would it not be more practical to get some Coilovers and some decent sway bars then spending money on a cage?

That would be much more effective if your looking for stiffness.

Cage = Cop bait

You are more likely to be asked to step out your car if they see a cage, so they can "have a look".

Just my point of view its just something to think about.

there is nothing illegal about a half-cage if the car is a rego 2 seater. if you have tint and the cage isn't painted a bright colour most of the time you can't see it unless you are looking for it.

but yes coilovers and the rest of your suspension setup should be done 1st before a cage if its primary uses is to increase stiffness.

a roll cage does not only protect you if you roll your car but it increases the stiffness of the car. It makes a huge different it is noticeable!

If done correctly you should have zero issue with the police, even if you don't re-rego your car as a 2-seaters i doubt you will have an issue. A friend has been driving around his R33 with a half cage (strip rear, carpet in its place) and never had an issue. another friend running a full-cage again has had no issue and he has been stop by police afew times

Ive failed pits a couple years ago with a full cage so your mate must be really lucky

Never heard of a full cage legal

/interested

Who in perth can build halfcages?

he is just honest with the cops, tells them its his track car. the times he has been pulled over he was coming back from the track, cops let him off said just drive home

Haha Lucky Bastard!

Last time my mate was honest with a cop he said "Thanks for being so honest now I can yellow you in half the time" :down:

Fail! Haha...

ive considered putting in a half cage a few times. as mentioned its perfectly legal if you re-rego as a two seater.

Theres been a few rolls at the drifts and more than a few near misses.

Those dudes being all like "omg drive on street who needs" you dont have a place to be responding to the question.

Dont alot of people get them from Bond over east in a kit? then get someone to assemble? or is it cheaper/easier to get someone in perth to do it.

I'd be interested in getting a non cams approved cage at some point.

lots of places :D

But before you ask yourself who can build cage? you need to ask do you want a cams approve cage or not.

there is a different in price

Sorry, I did mean cams approved cages..

Any monkey can build a cage, I meant who can build quality cams approved cages?:)

Also interested in a non-cams approved cage in the short term.

Cheers R32Driver :)

If your only doing track work a couple time a year I would go with a bolt in, pretty cheap and they come up from time to time in the FS forum. Having said that I'm not sold on bolt ins as a way of increasing rigidity.

Police interest. The problem lies in a full cage that

A) Restricts accessthrough the doors and

B) Obscures vision and enters the ADR mandated box that must be free from obstruction incase you bash your scone.

In the end I leave my seats in and bolt in a straight back for the day. I can count on the fingers of one hand the time I've had people in the back seat, they just add weight and weight and annoying comments ablout the music and my driving abilities are the enemy...that and I have no friends anyway.

If you wan to drop weight, run minimum fuel, get rid of spare tyre and the passenger seat when you track it. The passenger seat in a 32R is 14Kg +spare which is 10? Thats a decent weight saving

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
