Okay so I’m not from Australia but honestly this forum is all I know. I bought a r32 gtr a few months back and it came with this roll bar type deal in it. Long story short I don’t like it and I’m trying to sell it but have no idea how to list it. So here I am before the almighty SAU community asking for help.

 

anybody ever seen one know anything abt it? It’s got padding all the way around it and the points attach with bolts it’s not a solid cage and of course it’s bolted to the car definitely not welded in.

We would call that a half cage here as there are no legs from the roof at the B pillar down to the floor at the A pillar. As such it is road friendly in Oz (nothing to bang your head on), but also of very limited safety benefit and not legal for any racing.

Hard to see in the pics, is there a point to bolt the extra legs on at the B pillar roof? It might be a standard kit like the cusco bolt in cage with the front legs not installed. I assume you couldn't find a brand on it or you would have mentioned...

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
