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

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
