4 doors? dont see that to often, r34 right?

it's not a gt-r, it was quite common for those to come in 4 doors... it's not awd either.. :(

The car is a real 34 but it is a e not a r. It has a full uras kit on it.

"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. Just because its been painted and fancied up does not mean its retarded it means the owner likes form just as much as function. And that engine is probably worth more then most cars on this forum. Before you get to the chassis/suspension work.

That cage is NOT built right at all. Major structural/safety components should NOT have bends in them, period. I don't give a shit how good your bender or welder is, any bends will significantly weaken the tube in the event of an impact.

Also I see lots of places where the tubes are not tied in at nodes but rather at midpoints of other tubes. Again, big no-no. What happens when a longitudinal force is applied to that tube? It's going to bend the shit out of the one it's tied in to and the whole thing will collapse.

The engine looks nice, sure. I'll give you that.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with how fancy and painted up it is, it has everything to do with the builder of the cage probably failing geometry class because he spent too much time playing with his welder. It's built more for appearance than anything else by the look of it.

Lee's 2k2 is an example of a STRONG cage.

Nice car,what shop is it at?

Engine looks nice, but that body kit and wheels are equally ugly.

At least its fast?

i might be wrong, but it looks like a 4dr R32 with an R34 kit on it.

The window lines don't look right for a 32, I believe it is a 4 door 34.

Thank you. I was thinking the cage looked like a big clusterfuck but couldn't really say for sure. It's always nice when someone who knows what they're talking about speaks up.

It's just basic cage building 101. For safety/structural tubes, never bend and never tie in at any point besides a node. Both reduce the effectiveness of that member by a huge amount.
