Default Roll Cage for 350Z Coupe ???

I would like to install a roll cage in my 2003 Track model for racetrack use. But I want to be able to leave the passenger seat in the car for street use.

Does anyone know where I can go for that kind of roll cage? Thanks.

You can get a custom rollcage made.....I know Cusco makes rollcages for the IS where you can leave the passenger seat still in...Not sure is Cusco makes rollcages for the Z though....

It all depends on what you are looking to do. In my semi-cage, I have door bars which extend from the main hoop down to the footwells on each side.

You can see pics of my bar/cage by Clicking Here

You can have any bars clevis mounted for easy removal. You should be warned, the door bar does hit my elbow on turns...the ONLY way to avoid this is to gut the inner door panels as our door panels are thick with plastic.

If you're talking a full cage with A-Pillar bars then you will most likely have to also make a full race dashboard.

My cage was fabricated at Bullet Fabrication (http://www.bulletfab.com) in Gardena, CA. Mike at Bullet made my cage per SCCA specs using 4130 chromoly. He will fabricate according to whatever specs you provide him...he also designs the cage custom for you taking into account your seat position, your shoulder position and elbow position. He will be gone for the month of August for travel (guy works 7 days a week so he will be traveling for a well deserved break) but you may want to talk to him ahead of time. Good Luck.

It cost me...nothing. Mike is a friend of mine for many years and we're kind of trading skills (I am working on his website and I will be encoding video from drag events that his customer cars run to be incorporated in the website).

I really couldn't tell you how much he would charge so try calling him and asking. Let him know that Jim referred you.
