iplen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I can highly recommend Peter Muir at Bonds in Sydney, his work on my rally car and others I have seen has been spot on.

MrBlonde Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Roll cage for what type of racing? The regulations and rules are different depending on which sanctioning body.

Risking Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 For what you want to do there is a heap of various options you could go with from basic halves through to extensive full cages. I'm being fairly picky with what types of cages I'm doing now due to time limitations but an r35 with a decent cage is hard to say no to. If you want to see a couple of designs send me a pm and I'll organize some photos for you.

Martin Donnon Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Speedah We designed a template for a nice, tight fitting structural GTR cage, thats full CAMS compliant, non intrusive from a driving viewpoint (VERY important in a GTR with regards to headroom, A pillar inclusion etc.) and then went and tested it in a 180km/h high speed rollover (unintentional!) Structurally the car remained perfect (drivers door still opens shuts which allowed the driver to live in this case). PM LSX-438 he has seen the installation in person. This is the guy that made the cage - http://www.alexbennett.com.au/index.html We can get Alex to carry out the fitment of the cage while we are fitting your larger WR35TTR turbos, upgrading your trans etc. Edit: Found some pics!

bigmikespec Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Martin that is a full cage correct? Are you able to register the car in SA with that type of cage.

Martin Donnon Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I do believe you could probably have it engineered....but dont quote me but for Tarmac reg this type of cage is fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/398381-roll-cage-for-my-gtrwho-does-a-good-job/#findComment-6329863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risking Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 You may want to check the current CAMS shedule J. That cage won't be up to min requirements for a two person ocupancy event like Tarmac rallying anymore. For anything state level + you require roof protection for both sides of the vehicle. ( yours appears to have none at all??) Another state level requirement is a diagonal from both sides of the roof line. Either in the hoop or rear leg section I believe CAMS run most large Tarmac rally's as "national" events Leading to cars logged after 1/1/2012 to require a proper side intrusion bar being of a sectioned X or U with opposing gussets. Also they need a drop bar from the front leg 1st bend to base of said leg. For his intended purpose of SS and track days non of that is required.

Martin Donnon Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Its a signed off CAMS cage, has the correct documentation and meets the requirements of 2011 when it was carried out. Speedah can make the decision how much he wants to chop the car up/what kind of events he wants to enter. There is some tricky work in pulling the interiors in and out (dash etc.) of these things, but its all good fun!
