Yea, I agree. The cage needs to be on the cert for road use. A full cage can end at the firewall can't it?, or does it need to go through to the towers ??. Sounds expensive and hard to remove if you want to later.nzeder wrote:My 240z has a 1/2 cage but I have to remove it as it is made from Alloy and this is no longer accepted for Motorsport use - it is still ok for road use...go figure. I am at 2 minds what to do also. Replace with a 1/2 made from steel that I can get motorsport approval or full cage. This season I am looking at doing the Classic Trail as this does not require a cage as you don't race as such you just try and get as close to your nominated time (but no quicker than the rules allow which for Pukekohe is 1:20) this will allow me to make up my mind if I want to do this and then I will save the $$ for a full cage. I only have one head and I can't regrow another one so if I do decide to have a car that I will put on the track and push it then I will have a full cage....(okay thinking about it while type this reply I don't think I will do a 1/2 cage at all - but I do the luxury of owning two Zed's the 240z and the 260z 2 seater)
However I still want the Z with the cage to be road legal so I can drive to the track, race then drive home again (like I did with my old 240z racecar - which had a full cage by the way) the other zed will be used for non performance events (yea right)
1.20s at Puke... I would hope to go faster than that, I did 1.24's in an old rx2 I built up on the cheap, and that had half the power the Z has got.
Hmmmm, the thot plickens
