filo_a31 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ok. My A31 cefiro has a full cage which i know is illegal and cannot be engineered. However, ive heard that half cages can be engineered. I have also heard in 2 door coupes to engineer a half cage, the back seats need to be removed along with the rear seat belts. If this is true. How does this work with a 4 door like my A31? Can someone shed some light on this situation for me please?

scathing Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 You can't have a cage in a location where an occupant can possibly strike their head. Your options are to get a removable cage, and only fit it for off-street events, or delete the seating positions where the cage is permanently installed.

soulfire Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 depends on the state, but from my understanding (mum works in registrations for vicroads) scathing is correct, for vic at least Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/295021-legislation-on-roll-cages/#findComment-4927008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 You can easily get half cages Engineered/Rego'd in your state. You just work in the guidelines set out. Simply talk to the relevant transport authority, or better yet, talk to a cage fabricator. They generally are the best people to talk too. If the cage business says they do not know, go to one that does. A decent workshop that takes interest will know and be upto date with the laws. I do believe you can get a half cage legal and retain rear seats. I think you are NSW, so the Vic info i have won't help you.

Iron Chef Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The same basic rules apply for all states though - the cage mustn't be within a certain distance of the occupants (I can't remember the exact distance any more) and must be padded. I'm yet to see a decent cage design that allows anyone to keep the rear seats, so work on the theory that your car will become a two seater.

mad082 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 you will often need padding around certain parts of the cage too. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/295021-legislation-on-roll-cages/#findComment-4935806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM-R33 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Yeah im pretty certain in QLD for registration cages have to be bolted in only and not welded. I'm looking into this for next year aswell as i want a registrable half cage that is cams approved.

Peter89 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Full cages are a no-no, unless your car is on race/rally rego and you enjoy wearing a helmet everywhere lol wrong. depends on the state. it is legal in victoria as long as you follow of the restrictions of how close the cage comes into the passenger zones. edit, such cages would have to go through the dash, cages going around the dash(not only do they suck) but they wouldn't pass.

DRFTD_32 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I recently got a new car and it has a full 6 point cage. It is engineered and registered. I can get the details of the engineers report if anyone is interested. I have also seen at my old work a 9 point cage in a GT3 porsche that was also engineered with removable side intrusion bars with very similar wording in it.
