Nice.. lets see some [email protected],safty21..Lets go people..

[s13dan]

Good thread, i have been considering a bolt in for a while now.

[kernel]

Just to let ppl know. The cusco cage shown in my previous post is from a Silvia S13 W/O Sunroof.

It fitted BOLT-ON in my hatchback 180sx, no modification required.

Here's a Safety21, I had this one before I get the silvia cusco cage.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g206/kerne1/180sx/DealerInt1.jpg

Not much details of the Safety21 but it show that does fit well with all interior trim without major modification.

[lflkajfj12123]

lol is a sub box that big really necessary?

[sneakerjunkie]

autopower 6 point in a s14 fyi old pics. it was for the non sunroof model and i bought this from a friend so i had to cut my sunroof rails to make this fit, it deff made the chassis stiffer tho

i see that you said that a coupe cage will work in a hatch but will a hatch cage work in a coupe?

[!Zar!]

Crappy pic but whatever.

Autopower setup I had in one of my cars.

[kernel]

lol is a sub box that big really necessary?

hahahaha, no it's not there anymore. I had full interior before installing the cusco cage. All the picture taken are while my 2JZ swap so..it's kinda a big mess in it !


i see that you said that a coupe cage will work in a hatch but will a hatch cage work in a coupe?

I couldn't try it. I sold my coupe before uninstalling the hatcback cage..

I'd take a guess and say yes, my main hoop from my coupe was the same as my hatchback one.

[derek_s13]

i know this is kind of a picture/info request, but while we're on the topic here, does anyone have a picture of a bolt-in cage in an s14 WITH sunroof AND headliner?

cusco seems to only offer s14 bolt-in w/o sunroof. wondering if anyones made it work. but doesn't necessarily have to be cusco. if something's out there thatll fit with all my interior in, i'll consider it.

thanks in advance.

[INeedNewTires]

check kirk racing, thats what i use and its by far my fav for design of a cage. installed pics uploaded soon.

I have a hatch cage installed in my coupe. No modification necessary, bolts right in.


Does anybody have pics of an autopower cage in a coupe with the plastics cut to fit?

[s13dan]

No prices?

[xplicit240]

whats the price on the autopower 6 point btw?

[cemtoes]

cusco 6point. instead of bolting it in I chose to weld it, yeah.... probably shoulda just done a custom cage :/
Cage was actually for a coupe but went it just fine.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2a0dftj.jpg

[s13dan]

from what i found most autopower cages are 832$ not including shipping.That was just a quick search though.

[Odysseus]

I wanna see a cage with FULL interior..

[Teddy]

No prices?

I paid $400.

Any of you guys every weld in one of those bolt on cages?

[Brian]

hey titty, if you want to boos your street cred points, you could call that cage an 8 point or something (by Cusco's standards.)

[Brian]

Any of you guys every weld in one of those bolt on cages?



Not me. that would completely ruin the reason of getting the cage (for me).

Once I'm done with the car, I can sell the cage or put it into a new car.

[Flicktitty]

hey titty, if you want to boos your street cred points, you could call that cage an 8 point or something (by Cusco's standards.)
yeah, the owner told me it was a 8point..... i just didn't think it mattered to much on here. still need to shoot the cage with some "sparkle" tonight and then put it in.

[Flicktitty]

Already said I did ;)

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a "bolt-in" cage however I got a damn good deal on it and I decided against drilling wholes through my car.

Well I was going to have a pic but flippin idiots send me the wrong flippin cage. I swear if it wasnt for down syndrome having, limp wristed, crusty eyed redneck, NASCAR watching, booty scratching, snaggle toothed, cousin loving, booger eating hillbillies SENDING ME THE WRONG FLIPPING PARTS it would be sooo easy to build a car. Sheesh I swear someone sends me the wrong part one more time I will drive to thier place of employment, no I will drive to thier home at dinner time while they are sitting with thier family and eating, and personally return the item with as much force as is humanly possible. Then I will shave all thier children and pets bald.

Finally a thread I was looking for! I'll post pics when i put mine in

Hey Brian, did you have to trim your Door panels at all?

[Brian]

nope. i did not.

[KA240SX808]

^How long of a Bar did you use? First Cage w/ some what of a door bar that doesnt require cutting the S14 door panels...


Also for the guys that still retain/use the rear trim panels how did you measure where to cut the hole?

[hotlavaflow]

what info?

Where to buy and do they have it for a S13 coupe w/sunroof.

[Landers]

^^^^Need the same info

[sldbyuramg]

nice cage and great pics

[s14_mike]

I can't figure out how you guys did such perfect jobs cutting holes in the interior panels in the back? How'd you do it?

[Brian]

holes in panels - get yourself a hole saw. I used a 60mm hole saw.

[Brian]

Where to buy and do they have it for a S13 coupe w/sunroof.

I got my cages from NUKABE.

Cusco / Safety21 has a MILLION cages available.

[ms!3]

Im assuming you can still slide the seat all the way back with these 4points right?

[Leo-kun]

From C's garage:

6 point half cage. I think it was custom?

What strut bar is that though?

here's my cusco i paid 120 bucks for, i added a harness bar to it and P coated it "chrome" but looks more like aluminum.

I have this same cage I bought used and have not installed yet. Is there any way to tell if it is made for sunroof or non-sunroof without test fitting it?

[kalypso123]

how noticeable is the stiffness in % after you add your cages...

6 pointers.

[Brian]

if the cage still has the sticker on the main hoop with the part number you can look it up online.


My car is a solid piece of machinery now. LOVE IT

if you check through the other pics, its an 8 point without the front bars

[greddyguy]

Miracle X Bar

Shit's pricey!

so pricey! i made my own miracle X, definately a noticeable increased stiffness if you have one. they own

[greddyguy]

how noticeable is the stiffness in % after you add your cages...

6 pointers.

quite a bit, if you bolt them down properly. Id really like to add some tabs to tie it into where the upper part of the seat belt bolts to the B pillar like the blue one on the first page, i bet that makes a big diff

[usdm180sx]

Anyone know if the cusco or autopower cages will fit with a do-luck rear floor bar? Doesn't look like it will but I just want to confirm.

[Brian]

Norm, I've seen at least one car that I can think of off the top of my head with a 6 point cusco cage AND a Do Luck rear cross bar. This was a S14 however.

[Royal_T]

Just got my cage back from the painters,, had it done in pearl white with gold flakes.

Cage is made by Kirk racing 4-point with X-brace. Love the cage in my opinion one of the cleanest roll cage for the Z33. other then custom built. Enjoy....

Looking for that answer as well.

[S14_Kouki]

Why do ppl keep there rear seats if theres a cage back there?? Do you actually have ppl sit back there?? Thats not to smart.

[CrimsonRockett]

Something I've wondered as well.

Was going to leave my rear interior on with my Safety 21 cage, but after thinking it through, it's useless.

Glad I have another S13. Otherwise, my full set of 180sx seats would've been useless.

Haha.

[OBEEWON]

Keeps it warm and quiet.

Someone post up a bolt in inside a Sunroof S14.

[ThatGuy]

Because a stripped out interior looks disgusting.

My seats aren't usable right now, WITHOUT a cage. Even my 6 year old daughter wouldn't have any leg room. That doesn't mean I'm going to take them out and leave a big, ugly, gaping hole to my trunk.

[racepar1]

Because a stripped out interior looks disgusting.

An interior that has been stripped out for no purpose, with no thought behind it looks disgusting. Executed properly, and for the right reasons, it looks fine. Stripped interior on cars that are primarily street cars is just non-sense. Been there, done that, no thanks...

Nissan failed miserably on the rear seats. They are nothing more then CD folder/whatever random crap you happen to have in the car holders.

They do make carbon fiber seat deletes for the rear I would rather have that then ugly gray useless seats.

[SuperiorS14]

i just want to keep my rear panels because, personally i think it looks a million times better and it wont draw as much attention as a fully gutted car with a cage in it. and i dont think ill be keeping the rear seats just all the plastics.

Aside from the fact that that is NOT a roll bar.

[nathanong87]

are there any other rollcage manufacturers that make stuff for sunroof'd cars other than autopower?

[RPS13-604]

i have a do-luck roll bar if that counts haha

[nathanong87]

haha yea, let me rephrase. any other makers of a 6 or more pt roll cage with harness/door bars for a sunroof'd s14? :P

[Brian]

Cusco / Safety21 MAYBE.

On the PDF list it doesn't show a S14 sunroof model, but a phone call should better clarify that.

[Brian]

Looking for that answer as well.

eyeball it.
It's REALLY nice if you have a spare set of plastics that you can practice on.

From there, a hole saw is pretty nice. 60mm works well.

Stripped interior is disgusting. I am soooo down for the carbon fiber seat delete but it costs like $500 so if YOU will buy it for me I'm down.

Otherwise, the seats CAME with the car and they do a GOOD JOB OF COVERING UP.

It came from my sarcastic brain.

[Matej]

It is true, I agree.

[Xbroke_kidX]

especially the rhd drive ones.....

[350zftw]

excuse my newb skillz, but why get a bolt in, instead of welded in?

more support?
swappable to another car if needed?

It's easier. and you can sell it if you don't want it anymore.

[Brian]

I think usually cheaper.
You can sell it if you want.
Put it in a new car if you crash the old one.
You get the name brand so you can add to your mod-list.

the list goes on and on.

[350zftw]

Oh i c

hell yeah, makes sence, drifters are going to crash eventually if you want to get better

some of the ones in here look sick.
some would kind of worry me tho, lol

[Brian]

Plus, the bolt in cages come painted. Much better than the dudes who get custom cages and leave it rusting away. ugh.

well for one i think it looks better, and two if i'm at the track and a total the front of my car i can unbolt the cage and put it in my next car


and the s15 mircale X its just a bunch of braces its not a cage

[scottie]

YAY for bolt in roll bars!

All is well until the tire wall shows up....

Granted this wasnt a full cage like some of the ones pictured here. Please note that no matter what bolt in you buy, there needs to be extra support at the base!! Notice in the pictures above that the bolt plate went right through the metal. Either way I just dont know if I trust my life to bolt in cages no matter how "cool" they look or "ease of installation" or that you can take them out and put them in another car.

Mustang .

[Matej]

Yay for Mustangs, or any 2006+ car. All is well until they flip over, crushed under their own weight.

[stinky_180]

just curious about reinforcing the base. do you basically add more metal/structure on the floor where the cage bolts onto? does anybody have pictures of this reinforcement?

[cleantune]

no slit in interior qp

Noob question of the day, but How did you line up the bar and cut the hole through the interior peice? I'm asking only because the bar literally looks like it disappears into the interior piece (super close fit)

[lechu84]

has anyone experienced turning a 4 point to a 6 point? i have a bolt on auto power 4 point and thinking of getting the "u-weld" to make it a 6 point.

In the picture where the roll bar tubing penetrated the floor boor probably would have happened even with a weld in cage. Even if you would have put on 1/4" steel plate than welded the bar onto it Im still pretty confident that weak unibody flooring would fail with all of the force of the roll over.

[apexis13sx]

Man i cant wait to get a roll bar in my Z!!

[stinky_180]

aside from that mustang getting messed up, anybody have more information regarding the reinforcement? pictures would be nice as well.

[Otto347]

Usually its 6"x"6x .120" plate at all chassis mounting points on a unibody car. Ive seen smaller plates for the support bars but on the hoop the 6x6 is good.

Also in the case of that mustang, or in any car that went front end over on the roof. That is about the worst way to flip a car. I wouldn't be suprised if even a 4 or 6 point weld in would have done the same thing. The force of the car on 4 or 6 points just isnt going to hold up to the sheet metal floor.

Superior S14, I'd be interested in some pics as well, please.

So even with all the bolt-together joints, the Safety 21/Cusco 6+ pt. cages add a significant amount of rigidity to the chassis? Well, I guess anything would make these flexy hatches feel better...

Hey will the cusco roll (or godspeed) cage fit even with my three guage pod on the pillar? I dont like the look when the pods are on the dash or attached to the cage. If any one has this set up please answer or post pictures.

[Import_Prophetz]

[silnismo]

so the bolt-in cage DID work.

Its called a roll bar, not a faceplant bar.

If that car had rolled, instead of flopping over like that i bet ya it would of worked.

[s13dan]

I think some of you are mistaking what "roll" means when some of these cages are being discussed.Its an anti roll cage; as in handling characteristics, not a type of crash. Bolt-ins are fine but the purpose is less of a safety concern as handling.Consider when purchasing. <think about it.

Granted a mustang is a hell of a lot heavier than a 240 same thing prolly woulda happened with a weld in. A cage to keep the roof from caving in on a roll over wreck has got to be beefier than most the cages posted on this thread. A truly independent cage, with proper gussets and bars cut in a manner that keeps them from shearing off and doing more damage. Thats what you need for a roll over, especially at speed.

[EDacIouSX]

anyone got pictures of sunwoofed s14s with cages?

[Silverbullet]

I think usually cheaper.
Put it in a new car if you crash the old one.
You get the name brand so you can add to your mod-list.


Autopower bolt in cage is around $800-900?. There are people that will do a full NASA cage for around $1000.

Would you really want to reuse a cage from a car that has been in a crash?


In the picture where the roll bar tubing penetrated the floor boor probably would have happened even with a weld in cage. Even if you would have put on 1/4" steel plate than welded the bar onto it Im still pretty confident that weak unibody flooring would fail with all of the force of the roll over.

I disagree. I would say less than half the force would be applied comparing a roll bar to a full welded cage, or even bolt in cage. A roll bar only has two supporting trusts, where as a cage has 4 attached to the floor. Not to mention, the additional trusts that extend out to the trunk, and other attachments that redistribute the vertical load.

[derek_s13]

[Steveohoes]

quick search:
http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/214178-autopower-industries-6-point-bolt-roll-cage-s14.html

If you look anywhere there isn't many companies that make bolt in cages for s14's with sunroofs. Go on any site and look at cusco and saftey21 cages, non of them offer bolt in cages with sunroofs for s14s. They do offer it for s13s though.
From what I searched it looks like autopower is the the only company that makes one for sunroofs and they don't fit to good. The cage sits alot lower and your more likely to bang your head on the cage.

look how close the bar is:

If you don't want/like the autpower one and really want a bolt in cage and keep your sunroof just get someone to build you a custom bolt in. Its gonna be pricey though

[udon!]

what are the pros and cons of

bolt in cage, and weld in cage, besides it being gangster as fucking possible?

[Brian]

Weld in - In theory, better quality and safety than a bolt in cage. However, generally more expensive, more "permanent"

Bolt in - Easier to buy and install. Possibility to remove and sell or transfer to a new car. They are, in theory, not as safe as a welded in cage.

[Brian]

Autopower bolt in cage is around $800-900?. There are people that will do a full NASA cage for around $1000.

Would you really want to reuse a cage from a car that has been in a crash?



Well, Autopower NEVER would even be a considerable option for me. I've seen them. I think they are horrrible.

I would reuse a cage if it fit fine in the car or new car still.
Sure.

[udon!]

for the bolt in cages do you drill holes in the car or what how do you install them

[Brian]

Yes you drill holes where the base plates go.

They give you the bolts and nuts and metal plates to put under the car

[David B S12]

for the bolt in cages do you drill holes in the car or what how do you install them

hot glue or "gorilla" glue

then hold it down for 30 min. its a sticky process

[Gorilla Unit 33]

Well, Autopower NEVER would even be a considerable option for me. I've seen them. I think they are horrrible.
Im just wondering if your speaking of the 6pt or the 4pt by auto power? I havent seen a 6pt in person but i have seen pics like the one above and agree that id never rock one of those. Although i have seen Auto Powers 4pts in a friend of mines S13 coupe and Touge Factory's S13 coupe and have to say its pretty nice for a Roll bar.

[Brian]

The 4 point (or any that stay behind the driver seem ok.

The full cages are a joke from what I've seen.

[whiterps13]

Ok, so I bought a Cusco/Safety 21 6 point bolt-in cage for my s13 hatch with a sunroof. I have everything bolted in and it all lines up.

EXCEPT, I still have automatic seatbelts. The top cross bar that goes above the windshield will not fit in between the two side bars. Its over an inch too long. The side bars are pushing on the a-pillar trim so there is no room to spread them further apart.

My main question is, does anybody have a 6pt with the automatic seatbelts still functioning? Im not dying to keep them, but I would like to keep the a-pillar plastic trim attatched. What are my options? Please help!

[Perfect Balance]

I think some of you are mistaking what "roll" means when some of these cages are being discussed.Its an anti roll cage; as in handling characteristics, not a type of crash. Sorry, this was so retarded I had to quote it.

There is no physical way putting some bars inside your car will reduce body roll. In fact, if you want to get technical, the weight of the bars closer to the top of the car will slightly raise the center of gravity in the car, increasing roll. Or maybe, you mean "anti roll cage" as some kind of device that prevents the car from rolling over. In which case the idea is even more idiotic.


Chassis stiffness maybe, but not roll. :bowrofl:

weird i never thought of that, i don't think the seat belt trac should interfer at all, when i put mine in i still had my a-pillar plastic and it didn't even touch it, although i didn't have the auto seat belts anymore but still, possibility u have the wrong halo bar?

I forgot to update this thread like a year ago. I finally got the damn thing in, after sitting on the center console and wedging both of my feet onto the dash bars and pushing as hard as I could outward with my legs. It would have been comical to watch, as I was by myself trying to do this.

I have had the cage in, along with the automatic seat belts, for over a year now with no issues at all. The belts work fine, the cage does not interfere with the tracks or seat belts what-so-ever. The cage was a freaking nightmare to get in, and I scratched the hell out of it, but its in there. I figured I should clear up the rumors and let ya'll know.

[AnDyStYLe]

Just to let ppl know. The cusco cage shown in my previous post is from a Silvia S13 W/O Sunroof.

It fitted BOLT-ON in my hatchback 180sx, no modification required.

Here's a Safety21, I had this one before I get the silvia cusco cage.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g206/kerne1/180sx/IMGP0430.jpg
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g206/kerne1/180sx/DealerInt1.jpg

Not much details of the Safety21 but it show that does fit well with all interior trim without major modification.

Bit of a bump in topic sorry guys :wiggle:

After doing some research, I realised that the 180sx Cusco cages have the same part number for sunroof and non sunroof. Pictures I've seen shows evidence that the 180sx hoops sit further back than the s13 ones, regardless of being a sunroof or non sunroof.

The s13 non sunroof hoop sits closer to the front. However, I'm not sure when it comes to s13 sunroof models.

Question for the OP... Does the s13 and 180sx Cusco hoops bolt into the floor in the exact same position? Seeing as though you have fitted both 180sx and s13 into an 180sx, did you need to drill extra holes in the floor?

I currently have an s13 non sunroof Cusco chromoly 5-point to bolt into my 180sx. However, I would have preferred it to sit further back like the proper 180sx model. Although, if it bolts in the same location I'll fit it up until I can track down a proper 180sx one.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Andy

Just installed my Safety 21 5 point last week and I'm really happy with the results. I was worried that it was going to be hard to keep the full interior but it actually wasn't too difficult to do.

Got a good deal on this. Repainted it white. Going to add some tabs and make the front half sections and door bars to bolt in. Also adding some cross bars to the rear as well.

Has anybody or know of anyone that has welded in a harness bar on a cusco bolt in?

[heychris]

These guys look like they make a cool product...several different levels of protection. I enquired...cages fit both right and left hand drive and they ship to North America....they are hoping to have a US distributor next year

FWIW those Saito units look to be designed very well.. Especially the one that passes through the dash.

[R3b]

Is there any benefit running a cage in a street car? Thinking a harness and cage will help me better than no air bags and auto seatbelts in accident.

Also do you guys have any room for your pilar pods? Just installed some gauges and think if I get a cage i'd have to either get bracket to fit the cage or run them back to the ac vent.

[crzsteveo]

^theres always big discussion on bolt in cages and quite frankly who cares. Your most likely to get t boned, rear ended, or roll your car by yourself.

No gauge pods will fit. Make a bracket and strap it to the cage

Yeah I figured, im just looking as an self "insurance" sorta thing In the event something happens I dont care what happens to the car I just want to be safe as possible.

Are you going to wear a helmet while you street drive?

Nope but lots of guys drive street with them. Never thought about my bare head hitting the cage in the event of a crash actually.

But you should.....heads are like cantaloupe....they don't do so well against metal pipes

Doesn't sound too good now eh?

Get a harness bar and be donezo

A 4-point would be a better compromise, harness bars suck.

[R3b]

I think harness bars are ricey because most dudes who rock them dont do any track time. Its all for A E S T H E T I C S. I dont abuse my car and probably wont see any sliding or tracks anytime soon since its a "daily".

I remember looking into harness awhile ago and dont 5-6 point basically do jack shit in case of a real accident? I guess im just fucked if I get into anything serious and hope I have some decent karma built up lmao

As much as I hate to i guess ill have to replace the auto seatbelts and get some proper s14 ones. I feel like those things will snap if I just sneeze forward.

Where can you purchase these Saito cages?

[heychris]

@r3b......ummmm yeah sure....5 and 6 point harnesses are useless in an accident DESPITE them being REQUIRED in most if not all semi professional and professional racing serie...I think you are getting confused on the point of if you don't have a cage to bolt the harness to vs. if you do
Never seen them save lives in the thousands of hours I've spent at the track racing or watching racing...search Audi crash LeMans for examples

Dunno where to get Saito bolt in cages but these guys make a nice product and ship to the USA...

Some of my Safety 21 Cage in my GTS-t. At one time it had tabs for bars which went around the dash. I had them removed and had a removable cross bar welded in.

Anyone running a Kirk Racing cage? Quoted me at $795 for a full 6 pt bolt in with door bars, harness bar, and some cross bracing. Seems like a good solid product but does anybody have experience with fitment/quality/etc?

[smashed]

Safety 21, favourite part on my car.

Old photos, but shows the fitment I got with some proper measuring and patience.

omg the fitment is perfect^^^ UGH

[Pimpnyou204]

Probably the cleanest cage ive ever seen

[crzsteveo]

But wait?? How were you able to keep your a pillar plastic and Window visors?? No metal base plate?


Jesus fuck I hope I can get that clean of an install with my interior. Bravo my friend

[feito]

wish I could have got away with smaller holes on my rear panels when I installed my autopower rollbar on my s14. It was hard enough to install it cutting huge holes on my panels :-P Really clean smashed, really clean!

[smashed]

Cheers for the kind words lads.

But wait?? How were you able to keep your a pillar plastic and Window visors?? No metal base plate?

The metal baseplate is there but the visors won't go down. Sucks but hey a small compromise.

With regards to the rear panel fitment, I made a jig out of some scrap wood and tube that was laying around to mock up where the rear legs would sit.

It looks super primitive but worked a charm!

To bolt them down I just slid my arms under the panels and tightened the bolts with ratchet action spanners.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o85/punknfrublic/a462361e.jpg

For the finishing touch I capped the sharp edges of the plastic off with some vacuum tube that I'd sliced down the middle.

Hopefully these pictures help those out who want to get the cage fitting real nice!

[crzsteveo]

Aaahhhhhhh I kind of see what you did there! Very neato! I shall give this shot and maybe do a little write up depending on how clean I can get it

[Frank_Jaeger]

Personally I would get some sacrificial panels to cut holes in and use those to mark the final panel cuts.

I guess you could do that but then you're wasting a pair of interior panels.

Well it should somewhat. S13's crumple like a crushed soda can in a real front end collision.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85OysZ_4lp0

I mean the S13 would do exactly this. I would imagine the cage would help marginally but increase your chances of traumatic injury if you're not wearing a helmet.

Haven't been able to find a definitive answer to my question. The car is also sitting at a body shop, otherwise I'd just test fit everything.

Currently have a Cusco 6-point cage for my S14 along with side bars.

I'm wondering if they can be ran simultaneously.

This:

With this:

I will be running Bride bucket seats. So, getting in and out of the car really won't be a problem.

If anyone has any input, I'd greatly appreciate it.
