Yes ANDRA tech regulations require a approved welded in roll cage

but contrary to popular belief......the cage is only one of the requirements

Personal

Full FIA approved race suit

flame retardent undergarments (socks, pants, shirt and balaclava)

ANDRA approved helmet

FIA race boots

Arm restraint/or window net

ANDRA UDL licence

total cost...between $2500-$3500

Vehicle

Roll cage

FIA approved race harness (seat belts)

Belhousing sheild

harmonic balancer shield/or billet steel item fitted

tailshaft loop/loops

rear firewall (if boot mounted fuel system)

battery isolation switch

open ended wheel nuts

ANDRA tech inspection

total cost...between $3500-$4000

So its more than a cage and costs between $6000-$8000 to comply

Sick of reading that people got booted because they didnt have a "cage"

You have to do ALL of that if you run a 9.99 - 10.99 second pass ? :D

I was aware of a lot of those requirements, but I always say "without a cage", because thats the primary reason most people never do all of the stuff above, as a cage would be very hard for them to own a car with... the other stuff wouldn't effect it.

However, next time I'll make sure I write.... "Hey got booted for ....." and write all your replies :)

Yep, that's correct.

Thanks for the information anyway... I knew there was much more to it but didn't know the exact specs (as I don't have a 10 second car)

i wish it was just a cage......would have been cheaper

you see my point though...you always hear..."oh he didnt have a cage" generally from people who dont know the rules, or are ignorant to them. Was not trying to put you in your place ThommO just making you and other readers aware that theres more to it than the cage.

Hi Brad....sorry for the mistake...its Paul. We got the blanket....but should be called scatter shield..as its got cat guts all over it!

Hey Paul, that just proves it's street driven :) It's a big step from the 11's to 10's, we are going to have to decide if we are going to want to race often enough to justify all the gear for tech inspection or just run the time once.

ah ok, thanks for confirming that.

as that may be somehting Paul will have to add to his list.

:unsure:

mick

dont think that our set-up will run 140MPH...but we do have 6psi of boost up our sleeve....just in case we need to use it. The boost gives us another 40kw at the treads

The car wont go any quicker than it has before at jambo. I am running a conservative setup as I only need to make top 16. Yes, i wont be aiming to compete with mark and theo, i will be competing with them. As the elimination is on a DYO handicapped system all cars in top 16 are on a level playing field. No point running the cars guts out in eliminators. Ill be shooting for 9's at the SAU drag day.

Yep, that's it. The only thingI would add is that you can get a four point rollbar in place of the six point rollcage which is good to 10.000. For a regularly street driven car this might be a lot easier to get away with.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
