Hi All,

I have for sale, a brand new Cusco D1 Chromoly (blue) 5 point roll cage to suit a 180SX. As per Cusco Japan site, the 180SX model (part no: 221 261 DS) is to suit both sunroof and non-sunroof. The hoop sits further back towards the rear roof of the car up along the roof lining.

Although people say that the Cusco S13 non-sunroof also fit 180SX non-sunroof, this is partially correct/incorrect (however you like to look at it). I've had the S13 non-sunroof cage in the 180SX before and I can tell you that the hoop sits past the driver/passenger seats towards the front of the car and hits your head which to me is a big no no! According to Cusco, the S13 cage has two models, one for sunroof and one for non-sunroof.

Please confirm for yourself, but I believe that the 180SX model will fit in the S13, although the hoop will sit further back like how it does on the 180SX. This is better in my eyes as it won't crack your head open when it happens to knock into the hoop.

Anyhoo, the cage I'm selling is still brand new, wrapped in original plastic packaging, comes with all the plates, nuts, bolts, washers, and paint protection for where the holes are drilled. Everything you'd get brand new!!!

Also, I purchased black Cusco roll cage padding and acetape to cover the full cage. This is also brand new and untouched in the package. This will be included in the sale.

Unfortunately due to the size of item, this sale will be pick up only (Burwood East VIC). Unless you arrange a courier yourself.

I'm after $900 ono for the lot.

Preferred contacted via sms on zero four two one 1 2 1 eight one right.

*Pics will follow tonight*

Cheers,

Andy

Bump!

I also noticed that I have another spare set of Cusco supplied bolts, nuts and washers to bolt up the cage to the backing plates. These are brand new.

Shoot me through a text if you're keen. Good for those that got a second hand cage that more than likely didn't get the bolts etc. with it.

Cheers,

Andy

Hey Mate,

Did you get my PM? An error message came up after I sent it so I'm not sure if it got through.

Also does that cryptic phone number have enough digits? I count 9?

^ It's looking like it's sold at this stage, just waiting on confirmation regarding the courier that the buyer is organising.

If that falls through, then I'll give you a shout.

Cheers,

Andy

    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
