Hi All,

I have for sale, a brand new Cusco D1 Chromoly (blue) 5 point roll cage to suit a 180SX. As per Cusco Japan site, the 180SX model (part no: 221 261 DS) is to suit both sunroof and non-sunroof. The hoop sits further back towards the rear roof of the car up along the roof lining.

Although people say that the Cusco S13 non-sunroof also fit 180SX non-sunroof, this is partially correct/incorrect (however you like to look at it). I've had the S13 non-sunroof cage in the 180SX before and I can tell you that the hoop sits past the driver/passenger seats towards the front of the car and hits your head which to me is a big no no! According to Cusco, the S13 cage has two models, one for sunroof and one for non-sunroof.

Please confirm for yourself, but I believe that the 180SX model will fit in the S13, although the hoop will sit further back like how it does on the 180SX. This is better in my eyes as it won't crack your head open when it happens to knock into the hoop.

Anyhoo, the cage I'm selling is still brand new, wrapped in original plastic packaging, comes with all the plates, nuts, bolts, washers, and paint protection for where the holes are drilled. Everything you'd get brand new!!!

Also, I purchased black Cusco roll cage padding and acetape to cover the full cage. This is also brand new and untouched in the package. This will be included in the sale.

Unfortunately due to the size of item, this sale will be pick up only (Burwood East VIC). Unless you arrange a courier yourself.

I'm after $900 ono for the lot.

Preferred contacted via sms on zero four two one 1 2 1 eight one right.

*Pics will follow tonight*

Cheers,

Andy

Bump!

I also noticed that I have another spare set of Cusco supplied bolts, nuts and washers to bolt up the cage to the backing plates. These are brand new.

Shoot me through a text if you're keen. Good for those that got a second hand cage that more than likely didn't get the bolts etc. with it.

Cheers,

Andy

Hey Mate,

Did you get my PM? An error message came up after I sent it so I'm not sure if it got through.

Also does that cryptic phone number have enough digits? I count 9?

^ It's looking like it's sold at this stage, just waiting on confirmation regarding the courier that the buyer is organising.

If that falls through, then I'll give you a shout.

Cheers,

Andy

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
