Hi m3m3nto, I'm thinkng along the same lines as Duncan. Generally speaking the Japanese spec cages are too small for our regs. What we need to know is the OD of the pipework and its wall thickness. This is particularly relevant to the main hoop (the one juts behind the drivers head).

Ive been told this cage was only used for the race look. Im not sure if it can been used in legal drags.

I dont know much about them as when I got the car the cage wasnt full installed, The pipe is 4cm and with rubber a good 2inches. Ive been told this the normal size.

I know the main hoop seats behind the drivers head, its seats behind the roof light, so a fair bit away from you head when seated.

I also know your back seat may need some moding to make it fit in with the cage.

I was also told if this was going to be used with drag racing that it would need to pass some test.

The cage fits to the roof but does not push the roof in and the is hardly any gap between roof and cage, fits snug.

Sorry im not the best with this if you need more info plz ask ill do my best to answer.

sorry if i didnt answer ur questions to well

OD = 5inches

The thickness is hard to say as it has no holes to let me measure it, going by the joiners I would say 0.5cm thick im only guessing tho.

Can you let me know the regulations on the cages so i can find out for myself and others.

I will email the guy I got the car off to see if he knows.

Hi M3M3NTO, from memory the CAMS regs for circuit racing is;

Material has to be cold drawn steel tube (CDS).

Tensile strength = 350 MPa min

Main hoop OD = 45 mm with 2.5mm wall thickness

or OD = 50 mm with 2.0 mm wall thickness

other bars OD = 38 mm with 2.5mm wall thickness

or OD = 40 mm with 2.0mm wall thickness

Hope that helps

Cage is....

Main Hoop OD = 40mm with 2.5mm thick

others bars are the same.

This is a Jap cage and is not made for drag racing, the bars are in good condition, rubber needs a clean and has a few marks.

Im asking $700.00 Neg, Aproved Racing Roll Cages are worth well over $1k.

Hey M3M3NTO

I think the "Kid" is trying to say maybe too expensive.... Dunno, but an approved bolt in to meet CAMS X Sydney inc GST around $AUD800.00.

The "race look" is fine and dandy, but maybe this will give you an idea of what the market can stand.

Ciao

you don't need a roll cage to pass Andra unless your running a 10 second 1/4 mile and then it can be a bolt in, if you do 9's it has to be welded in so for your average Joe this cage is fine

and I find it hard to believe that you can buy an approved bolt in for $800

It will fit a GTST but u will have to mod the back seat, have to cut a little of each side, ive been told this is easy for people who deal in that stuff.

if you have more questions email me at

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
