Hi guys,

I'm currently setting my car up for circuit work but need to get my sunroof removed before getting my cage done. Mistakenly put it in Cosmetic but left if in there just in case someone has a fabrication person I could speak to.

I figured the two options were to get a panel welded in place or to get a new roof skin.

Does anyone know of the best place to get a quote for this type of work or have any other possible suggestions?

Thanks.

I definitely like the carbon roof idea, another way I have done it in the past was too cut a piece of perspex approx 40 mm too big and then bend a 20mm lip the whole way round, then fasten it too the metal lip on the roof skin which will be left after u remove the sunroof frame and glass.you can fasten it with just about anything just don't crack the Perspex, I used sealed blind rivets.after that silicone the join on top and wipe the excess away so it's waterproof as well. I doubt u will have a headlining in place if your caging but if so you might need to cut the 20mm lip down so it doesn't catch on anything.

thanks for the replies. I was thinking of putting a separate window in there but with the spacing needed for the cage it ends up being easier to remove the whole thing and not having to have a complete custom build for the cage. If I do find someone who is able to do something with it I'll post back in the thread with a few images in case anyone else thinks of doing the same.

That seems like the simple way to go, I was thinking about it and you probably could just build the cage first and figure it out later, also more than likely u will have a cross brace throughout so just mount something off that

still haven't sorted this part out yet but the skin idea is still the one I'm liking the most. That way I can just get someone to do the welding and I can sort the rest. Does anyone have an idea where I might source one? Going to start calling around and see if anyone is wrecking a 32.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
