Dunno what the exact rules are, but I've heard that full cages are illegal, but 1/2 or 3/4 cages CAN be approved for road use.

Whether or not that is true, the things they would look at when determining a cages legality is whether the cage will impede the occupants getting out of the car in an emergency. So intrusion bars incorporated into the roll cage are a definate no-no, and anything else that may block any part of the doorway. Another would be crash safety i.e. if can you smash your head on it in a collision? No worries on the race track when you're wearing a helmet, but on the road you'd be looking pretty worse for wear...

But remember the cops will use it as an excuse to canary you regardless of whether it's legal or not unless you have it fully engineered and documented as road legal.

can you get roll cages amd keep the back seats still??

No , must be relicensed as a 2 seater.

If you get caught with the seat back in and the copper is a bit cluey , then it's yellow time..

Cheers

      I’m running links ecu and an upgraded crank sensor. So I guess I have less chance of this.

      The stock Nissan CAS gets very messy at high rpm, particularly with bigger cams/springs, and most aftermarket ECUs don't do as good a job of filtering the noise as the OEM ECU somehow manages to do. So you get "scatter" in the timing signals that can be really destructive to the ECU's knowledge of engine position. And so you can get spark firing many degrees early, leading to catastrophic detonation events.

      So you’re saying pretty safe to put back on the high flow. I guess I will lose alittle horse power which is fine. Never heard of timing scatter? My idle has been an issue running rich since I put on a custom intake with smaller pipings so not sure how it will react to the high flow cat also - would add some more back pressure to the system no?    Thanks

      I'm pretty sure that HK would only have the same blend all year 'round, but whatever.

      Just put a Haltech in it. Be aware that there is little extra speed available, so almost any money spent on NA "tuning" is wasted. Far better to spend on brakes, suspension, etc. Be also aware that the auto will die behind a turbo, so a manual swap is not a bad idea. Be aware that parts for these tasks are becoming very difficult to find.
