Risking- couldn't agree with you more. I'm building a JZA80 Abflug and it's an aero.

We bought a Cusco bolt in cage and F*** me was it shit.

I looked at the sandwich plate design to the floor pan and laughed.

Ended up chopping it all up, completely redesigning it, added bolt in side intrusion bars and made the hole thing completely bolt it.

Now it'll actually do its job both safety and rigidity.

I'm surprised these cages are designed so close to the occupants. I spose it's the easiest way.

Just a quick update.

Brad has messaged me this morning to confirm he's received my messages and has ensured my order will be filled.

He also noted I am the only person who's emailed him, as that's his referred method at the moment so keep that in mind.

There has been alot of things going on with the workshop recently and there has been some delays guys that I'm apologetic about.

There has also been some massive changes made to retify what's been going on which is personal and won't be shared freely.

I've been contacted by dan and a couple of others now via email and I appreciate the contact through that channel which is greatly preferred at this time.

I must stress through the only email to contact me via is [email protected]

The work quality I refuse to let slip away which is why the delays have occurred. With the time I've been putting into some other things some jobs have taken a bit of time to complete to the high standard I hold myself to and all I can do is apologise for that.

Is rather be know at this time to be slow and have good work that be fast and produce rubbish quality which I feel would tarnish my reputation more than a time frame issue.

Personal issues is an understatement at the moment.

The two cages you guys ordered are complete (photos have been seen) getting them sent off at a reasonable cost (considering I did free freight) and trying to get it into my spare time atm has been difficult.

Next week is a new week and will see them in your hands.

We're now into the second week after you mentioned the above.

Can we get a con number please, I'm happy with a refund also if you'd prefer. If so, let me know and I'll PM you my bank details.

Sent to your email also.

My cages have been sent, whether that's because I was fairly persistent in my nagging or because Brad has sorted things out and is clearing up a back log of work is not known to me, I'll be glad to get my hands on it though, put it in the car, and get my ass track side.

Here's some pics.

You can see what's needed to install the main hoop.

A plate is welded to the floor pan that has captive nuts on the back (you must drill holes for them to recess into). You then bolt the cage to the welded floor plates. The back stays are just bolted in like a normal bolt in cage.

The cage itself seems quite decent and a few people commented on it being a fully welded design, getting it in the car was not that hard - with a ratchet strap to compress the main hoop a little for clearance.

All in all it seems decent, though I wonder if I should have just put a full cage in it and been done with it... ?

The experience of obtaining it has mentally scarred me :)

The AGI was a slip joint, bolt together for more money than this cost as I chatted with them also.

That said, many have said the experience is good with them.

Oh as for washers, didn't come with any and while you might get some on the front two holes, you'd be hard pressed to get anything useful on the back.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
