Roll Cage For My Gtr..who Does A Good Job?


Recommended Posts

thinking about getting a little more serious with my GTR...

Can anyone recommend someone to supply/install a roll cage.

Im happy to transport the car to the right person.

Look in the fabrication section of this forum for his work

For what you want to do there is a heap of various options you could go with from basic halves through to extensive full cages.

I'm being fairly picky with what types of cages I'm doing now due to time limitations but an r35 with a decent cage is hard to say no to.

If you want to see a couple of designs send me a pm and I'll organize some photos for you.

We designed a template for a nice, tight fitting structural GTR cage, thats full CAMS compliant, non intrusive from a driving viewpoint (VERY important in a GTR with regards to headroom, A pillar inclusion etc.) and then went and tested it in a 180km/h high speed rollover (unintentional!) Structurally the car remained perfect (drivers door still opens shuts which allowed the driver to live in this case). PM LSX-438 he has seen the installation in person.

This is the guy that made the cage - http://www.alexbennett.com.au/index.html

We can get Alex to carry out the fitment of the cage while we are fitting your larger WR35TTR turbos, upgrading your trans etc. :)

Edit: Found some pics!

You may want to check the current CAMS shedule J.

That cage won't be up to min requirements for a two person ocupancy event like Tarmac rallying anymore.

For anything state level + you require roof protection for both sides of the vehicle.

( yours appears to have none at all??)

Another state level requirement is a diagonal from both sides of the roof line.

Either in the hoop or rear leg section

I believe CAMS run most large Tarmac rally's as "national" events

Leading to cars logged after 1/1/2012 to require a proper side intrusion bar being of a sectioned X or U with opposing gussets.

Also they need a drop bar from the front leg 1st bend to base of said leg.

For his intended purpose of SS and track days non of that is required.

Its a signed off CAMS cage, has the correct documentation and meets the requirements of 2011 when it was carried out.

Speedah can make the decision how much he wants to chop the car up/what kind of events he wants to enter. There is some tricky work in pulling the interiors in and out (dash etc.) of these things, but its all good fun!

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
