RELENTLESS AUTOSPORTS / SinCity 350Z Cage (preview)
Here is a sneak preview of the roll cage that is being put in our Time Attack 350Z. The door bars are going in today, and I will take some more pics of the completed cage. This cage was built and designed with not only safety in mind but weight savings and chassis rigidity were the over-all goal. I can't waight to track test this "all new car" next weekend.
Not the greatest pics of this cage and they do not do it justice, but there will be more to follow.................
Here is one of the parts that I am most excited about. It is where we extended the cage thriugh the front firewall and tied it directly into the double walled structural part of the front strut towers (a real PITA).

Might as well check the NASA and SCCA rules in case you want to run with them. They have diagonal bar requirements for some cars, I believe.
In any event, what you have going on there looks really impressive! That ought to give some very serious additional structural stiffness as well as safety. Can't wait to see the finished product. And zowie...that front connection is something else. "PITA" does not begin to suggest what that extension must be like to install. Good work guys.

Hi Kuah,
I was on the phone with Dan Hauser yesterday from Redline, and they are taking over GT Live operations soon. So GT Live will use the same Redline rules. My Silvia is the same in that my cage does not follow nasa or scca guidelines. But it is built well.
And i only have plans to use it for Time Attack.
Great work Scott.

If you guys ever want to do those events it might be a problem. I have been looking into this myself for my Z...

^^^There are plenty of other things on the car that wouldn't fit into any SCCA class either .
We did make a huge mistake though in overlooking the N.A.S.A. rule book. Our mistake, but hopefully we don't have to make many changes to comply. We didn't realize that N.A.S.A. ran the Super Street Time Attack as well as the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Both of which we had planned to do with this car.

My original plan for my car was to run it in the now defunct SRX Class. Because my car could not go into any class that nasa had at the time. And then the Lord created Redline and he said this was good.

Since I'm preparing a article for the Summer '07 issue of Nissan Sport Magazine on custom fabrication and rollcage construction, I'd agree that this cage, while impressive, won't fit SCCA (T2) or NASA (PT) rules. It might fit SCCA GT2 rules, but you'd be racing with purpose-built tubeframe cars. Maybe the best fit would be NASA's super unlimited class, if you decide to go road racing with your Z.
BTW- the Spring '07 edition of Nissan Sport is just coming out. I think every Nissan and Z fan out there will be blown away by it!
