hmm....well its a club by club rule but it seems a lot of the Vic clubs require it.

The list of CAMS legal roll cages are in the CAMS handbook, they need to follow an homologated design, and you need a CAMS authorised cage builder to make it and sign it off. Then CAMS issue a cage number to it, you will need a log book as well I would think.

But, if you are thinking about doing it to a road car for track days, its a hell of a lot of trouble. First up approved cages are $1300 up. Second they are probably not road legal as its possible to hit your head on it which is a problem when you are on the road/not wearing a helmet.

R tyres are pretty impressive compared to road tyres, so if you are just looking at something for trackdays buy a set of re55s, dz02g etc.

The typical Jap bolt in cage will not be legal, for a start the pipes are too narrow for CAMS. And of course the design will probably not be homologated.

hi Duncan,

Roll cages for road cars are legal if they're setup to ADR standards (padded upper bars where you head can hit it etc). I dunno about the NSW specific laws but VicRoads has a excellent PDF of what is legal on their website. I know this because my car is coming with a roll cage and I want to keep it in there.

btw I havn't forgotton about that Philip Island video. Just had a lot to do lately and havn't had a chance to combine my footage with Emre's.

Shivam.

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
