Hi All,

ok, ive been trying to read up on this as much i can, and cant get clear cut answers.

has anyone got a bolt in jap roll cage andra or even better cams approved?

(i presume a cams cage will be good enough for andra as long as it has the side bars parallel with the two doors etc.)

is there any problem? or it cant be done etc etc?

thanks

Michael

A bolt in jap cage will never be CAMS approved.  1/ the diameter of the metal is smaller, and 2/ CAMS require a homolgated design with the manufacturer guaranteeing.

your wrong about the diameter is fine it will pass testing if you modify the jap ones slightly, which means removing the rear arms and bolting them or welding them to the chassis, and removing the front side intrusion bars and replacing with their special design ones, costing only a few hundred bucks to do.

Shultzy passed our cage with flying colours.....custom cro-moly welded in job though! Burnt a $2500 hole in my wallet too!

Sorry but I disagree.. All Jap bolt in cages use too narrow a diameter for CAMS approval and they are not homologated.

Of course they may be legal for ANDRA's more lax rules :)

Yeah custom weld in cages are damn expensive, we paid $1800 for a mild steel one, but they make a hge difference to rigidity in the car, great for quicker cornering :)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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
