Hey guys,

BSA (BSA customs) and I (DVS Tuning) have just built a half cage for my R32 gtst drifter, its basically a minimum spec cage with an extra cross bar and we may add a harness bar tomorrow.

Took a few pics along the way and we will start to fabricate these for customer's.

The cage in my drifter is a weld in but we will be building them to suit bolt in aswell.

looks like a fair bit of time involved there? I just got a bolt in cage full with cams paperwork for my R-32 for around $900 from Brown Davis Automotive in Bayswater Victoria. Has been absolutely great, got some pics if anyone is interested? Would definitely deal with them again!

Duncan - yes we built it as per CAMS 2011 manual. I dont have plans for log booking, This car is just a drifter built from all my left overs from my GTR, so all the stock gtr brakes, diff etc. The cage is required for passengers.

Gtrxtc- didnt take very long really. We are planning for a fast turnaround- for other cars we do.

We think its possible to build a half cage in a weekend. Worst case 1 week turnaround. Possibly even a full cage depending on the design.

Can u please post up some pics of ur cage.

Only using seamless pipe as per specs.

The wolf- we can give u a quote if ur interested :) sure u will be happy with the price

I think it's very possible to do a half cage on the weekend a bolt in cage would take a bit longer I'm guessing but both me and and jez are very cabable of fabricating the cages. Some pics of other cage designs would be great.

To be honest I work down at brown davis so im pretty much an advocate for their product and they have always served me well. Its basically a half cage with a diagonal bar and harness mounts, fully CAMS certified. We are trying to broaden the market at the moment and really get this product out there. Brown Davis have proven over decades of manufacturing roll over protection for some of the worlds largest mining and 4WD companies, that their product is world class. Basically now we are just trying to show that to the motorsport world in Australia and in doing so we are providing very discounted prices for our Skyline roll cages. I can guarantee that the cage will not disappoint. If anyone is interested and wants further info on sales, please feel free to contact us via email at [email protected]

Your Vic where in nsw looks like you have a good thing going down there simular to what me and jez are getting into. I personally guarantee quality of all product produced. Iv been in the fabrication game for 9 years contact either me (BSA customs) 0449 831 518 or jez (DVS tuning and mechanical) 0414 879 711 for quotes on our products

Brown Davis has been manufacturing roll cages for more than 30 years and shipping the product both internationally and Australia wide with a high level of customer satisfaction. One thing we do offer for people such as yourself welding their own cages are pre-bent tube kits for a very wide variety of vehicles that can be installed and welded once received. If anyone is interested or has any particular enquiries please feel free to call on 03 9762 8722.

I will put some photos of our work up in the next half hour.

Thanks a lot,

Brown Davis Automotive

I'm not trying to compete with you mate like I said your in Vic and we are in nsw. I'm more then capable of bending up my own pipe so it's not nessasery to buy yours. I don't know y you sign up to sau today then start haggling saying your products are better the chances are they are both equal quality. Do you make the cages yourself or are you a sales manager? One again I'm not trying to compete with you or anyone for that matter as people will buy off company's they trust and had experience with before.

Sorry you took offence mate, it wasnt meant to come across as us competing with you you, we are just trying to help out by posting some of our work and hope that people are interested. In response to your question we do manufacture the whole product from scratch. Apologies once again we were just trying to help out and show our work in the hope that we might generate some interest.

Rather than delete his posts...hit him up for info and advice! :thumbsup:

If you think your welding is up to it than I dare say you would be well served by buying a kit pre bent from them and welding it up.

You say seamless pipe, what grade of pipe/tube are you using? From the pics its not clear, but it looks like you are not running your rear legs to the inner guard or strut top?!?!?!

Rather than delete his posts...hit him up for info and advice! :thumbsup:

They wouldnt need to, just copy the cages from the photos Brown and Davis so kindly put up

If I could do anything apart from blow holes in stuff with a welder I would haha

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
