Hey guys,

BSA (BSA customs) and I (DVS Tuning) have just built a half cage for my R32 gtst drifter, its basically a minimum spec cage with an extra cross bar and we may add a harness bar tomorrow.

Took a few pics along the way and we will start to fabricate these for customer's.

The cage in my drifter is a weld in but we will be building them to suit bolt in aswell.

looks like a fair bit of time involved there? I just got a bolt in cage full with cams paperwork for my R-32 for around $900 from Brown Davis Automotive in Bayswater Victoria. Has been absolutely great, got some pics if anyone is interested? Would definitely deal with them again!

Duncan - yes we built it as per CAMS 2011 manual. I dont have plans for log booking, This car is just a drifter built from all my left overs from my GTR, so all the stock gtr brakes, diff etc. The cage is required for passengers.

Gtrxtc- didnt take very long really. We are planning for a fast turnaround- for other cars we do.

We think its possible to build a half cage in a weekend. Worst case 1 week turnaround. Possibly even a full cage depending on the design.

Can u please post up some pics of ur cage.

Only using seamless pipe as per specs.

The wolf- we can give u a quote if ur interested :) sure u will be happy with the price

I think it's very possible to do a half cage on the weekend a bolt in cage would take a bit longer I'm guessing but both me and and jez are very cabable of fabricating the cages. Some pics of other cage designs would be great.

To be honest I work down at brown davis so im pretty much an advocate for their product and they have always served me well. Its basically a half cage with a diagonal bar and harness mounts, fully CAMS certified. We are trying to broaden the market at the moment and really get this product out there. Brown Davis have proven over decades of manufacturing roll over protection for some of the worlds largest mining and 4WD companies, that their product is world class. Basically now we are just trying to show that to the motorsport world in Australia and in doing so we are providing very discounted prices for our Skyline roll cages. I can guarantee that the cage will not disappoint. If anyone is interested and wants further info on sales, please feel free to contact us via email at [email protected]

Your Vic where in nsw looks like you have a good thing going down there simular to what me and jez are getting into. I personally guarantee quality of all product produced. Iv been in the fabrication game for 9 years contact either me (BSA customs) 0449 831 518 or jez (DVS tuning and mechanical) 0414 879 711 for quotes on our products

Brown Davis has been manufacturing roll cages for more than 30 years and shipping the product both internationally and Australia wide with a high level of customer satisfaction. One thing we do offer for people such as yourself welding their own cages are pre-bent tube kits for a very wide variety of vehicles that can be installed and welded once received. If anyone is interested or has any particular enquiries please feel free to call on 03 9762 8722.

I will put some photos of our work up in the next half hour.

Thanks a lot,

Brown Davis Automotive

I'm not trying to compete with you mate like I said your in Vic and we are in nsw. I'm more then capable of bending up my own pipe so it's not nessasery to buy yours. I don't know y you sign up to sau today then start haggling saying your products are better the chances are they are both equal quality. Do you make the cages yourself or are you a sales manager? One again I'm not trying to compete with you or anyone for that matter as people will buy off company's they trust and had experience with before.

Sorry you took offence mate, it wasnt meant to come across as us competing with you you, we are just trying to help out by posting some of our work and hope that people are interested. In response to your question we do manufacture the whole product from scratch. Apologies once again we were just trying to help out and show our work in the hope that we might generate some interest.

Rather than delete his posts...hit him up for info and advice! :thumbsup:

If you think your welding is up to it than I dare say you would be well served by buying a kit pre bent from them and welding it up.

You say seamless pipe, what grade of pipe/tube are you using? From the pics its not clear, but it looks like you are not running your rear legs to the inner guard or strut top?!?!?!

Rather than delete his posts...hit him up for info and advice! :thumbsup:

They wouldnt need to, just copy the cages from the photos Brown and Davis so kindly put up

If I could do anything apart from blow holes in stuff with a welder I would haha

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
