Roll Cage


Silent

Recommended Posts

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

    • Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
