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.

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.

Finally, I can post on this thread. Just picked up this Cusco 6-pt semi locally not too long ago. Still need to weld a harness bar in though.

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.

^Holy hell, that thing must be a pita to get in and out of!
On my s14 I decided to install the rear bolts on the wheel wells from the outside in, because of that and because I decided to use a double nut to counter lock the first one, I ended up having to cut some huge holes on my rear panels. I really envy you all with the nice perfectly fitting holes.
Im still trying to figure out that to use to cover them up.

You can not run them together I already tried the spacing between the main hoop and the b-pillar is so small.

The only bolt in cages worth looking at in this group of pics are the Saito units. All the other ones are inherently weak just by nature of their design.

Sharing my bolt in setup.

Bought a Woodward fab bender and finally got around to using it.


i used UTV hinge connectors to bolt them in.


I made it a pretty tight fit, even around the top... when it wraps around the dash by the vent, theres about 1/8" of space by the thumbwheel on the vent.


the main hoop, i think was built by someone and not bought from a company. i'll paint it tonight, same color as my bay..

Not a full cage, but I built this bolt in roll bar.
Older pic, all the interior is back in now.

Thank you so much for this. I've got an old Cusco strut bar that i've been putting off installing because the paint was in average condition.

Best believe i'll be respraying it now. That's a great colour match.

Kind regards,

No problem at all. Be careful when spraying the blue...do lots and lots of light coats as it is thin and runs very easily. Good luck.
