Preliminary Rollcage Ideas (courtesy of a picture off the internet and MSPAINT)

Green bits will be included if they are affordable and allowed under CAMS (nothing about them in sched. J of the cams manual though)

Purple bit will only be included if its cheap and the cage builder tells me its worthwhile.

Not sure which way to go with side intrusion yet. If double, apparently the old school X is not strong at the join, it needs to be gussetted or use two bent pipes welded together instead.

If single, I think I prefer it running right back to the harness bar as it doesn't create a bend point halfway up the main loop then...

What about the ladder style side instrusions? And the purple bit is the other bar to make the roof cross/X right? Would of thought that would be pretty standard for a cage builder to deal with ie not that expensive? Stuff penetrating the firewall is generally more expensive and difficult from what I've seen/read about on the internet.

I would prefer the two bent bars for the side intrusion but it's not like it's door to door racing so you're not likely to have anyone come crashing through your drivers door.

Squares are bad. Triangles :ninja:

Yeah, but I think the second part of the "X" is redundant here. Leaving it out will save weight and probably cost. Unless the engineer tells me its important its gone.

Yeah, but it also gives the most benefits for chassis rigidity. If its allowed by cams and not stupidly expensive, I'd like to include it.

Yeah I havend decided yet... the two bent bars would be best but the single bar would be lighter and probably enough. Unless I decide to use it for rallying and then I'd want the double bars.

I'm also tossing up wether to put a harness bar on the main loop as well so I don't have to run them right to the back...

Triangles obv > squares agree was just throwing it up as another option.

Most of the cages I've seen either have an X or a V in the roof. If engineers reckon it isn't needed I'd leave it out but I'd always want that extra protection if a roll over happens

Definitely better for rigidity but I only ever see it on the more serious cars which makes me think it will probably be prohibitively expensive.

Have a look at how Risking on here does his cages. He has the harness bar in the main hoop aswell I'd rock it like that if you can

Yeah found this thread, it's given me a few ideas for changes.

I might go with the V roof, it looks pretty strong (triangles) and not much more weight than the single bar

so who's coming tonight?

Martin & Dan will be westward bound for project alfa and thus be late.

I don't want to be just sitting there with my dick in my hand for 2 hours... so who else is coming?

Yeah football with out kicking is a bit shit, The only real problem you get is knock ons, leads to some interesting convos, so perhaps league rules with one touch rule, that being if the ball hits the ground its a turn over.

      Hello Everyone

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
