the only thing i enjoy is the width of the tires. all credit that it gets for being a 'skyline' is offset by purely bad aesthetics.

It's pretty damn cool. From what i learned, bends are not the best, but if they are mandrel bends, they would hold up just fine. Am I wrong? I would also tend to think if the pipe was thick walled bends wouldn't make a huge difference.

Don't get me wrong, I love many many touches about the car, it's a slick piece of work, but to say that cage and engine cage are functional is erroneous at best.

thats fine

im not sure what the intended purpose is of this car, as far as what type of events it will be doing

sometimes i wonder why i even bother to post cool shit here on r3v

w/e

its not my car just happened to be there.

I thought it was pretty cool because its the second skyline i have seen in person.

oh yay, another skyline.. not even a GT-R. Don't even try to question the methods behind the cage guys, it's a skyline, so it's just awesome no matter what.

*yawn*

/hate

:p

Definitely a visual cage. That wouldn't hold up in a real track accident, and would probably kill you on the street.

The funny part is i have crashed a car with a similar roll cage at aroun 160km/hr rolled 3 times.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

The funny part is that no half decent cage will have rounded bends like taht one and I've driven and helped build enough race cars to know.

2.6? 2.8? 3.0?

"the cage" is probably one of the best set up cages i have ever seen. I could see that car rolling 8-9x and driver walking away. Not to mention the chassis stiffness that would come from it.

You need to look at proper race cars, then. As for stiffness, those bends and rounded sections are fucking useless. You need triangles in a cage.

Yes it's not a gt-r
It's an e34
It's rear wheel with a rb26 in it.
