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!

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
