Pic of autopower roll bars installed

[Exar-Kun]

Anyone got one? I want to make sure this thing wont hit my trunk battery box in my rps13....

I'll need one for track duty in a few months..

thanks!-chet

full roll cage or just the race spec which is behind the seats? my buddy just put his on and it comes no where near the trunk...but his car is a coupe S13. go to az240sx.org and find the thread. it is called roll bar installed or something like that.

i don't know many people who have caged or put a bar in their 240's yet. I do, however, have an article on installing a roll bar, so it should have some of the pics you might need.

I intend on making a custom 4 pt bar because the Autopower bar from what I hear is not a good fit for the 'verts.

I have a 6 point point in my car, there are pics on my car domain page. Nothing up close though.

[Exar-Kun]

I am going to use the full race bar, not the cage, since the car will be street driven, but for track events, I'll ned the 5-point bar to compete.

Unfortunately, most people with them isntallaed have the coupes, I have a hatchback..I am not sure if the bar istelf is made any different.-chet

Here's a few pics I found on the 'net...









If you have the back seats removed, these pics probably didn't help... But they should give you a pretty good idea of where it mounts.

AWESOME! thanks..just what I wanted to see

it doesnt go into the hatch, which is what I was concerned about. thanks a ton!-chet

[Onizuka]

Yeah coupe and hatchback roll bars are the same. DGtrials had a S13 groupbuy a while ago I missed out on and they reported they were the same.

[tm_kickz]

How much do those things cost. I would love one.

[Krnmackmattsta]

how practical are these things? I'm liking the race roll bar with the harness bar. I still want accessability to the back seats. Possible?

[driftaholic]

possible cuz those 2 extra bars are removable

oh, and how the heck to harnesses attach to the harness bar? i have a 4-pt bolt in harness and i don't see how that would work...

what is the difference between roll bar and roll cage? what do they do? I been told that they protect you from a source and another saying it simply stiff up the chassis further

---oh, and how the heck to harnesses attach to the harness bar? i have a 4-pt bolt in harness and i don't see how that would work...----

You would have to go to a wrap around harness. The belts wrap around the cross bar behind the seat--by using a bolt in belt going down to the old mount points etc--you will allow too much stretch--which could let you impact something ( dash, windshield, etc-)

When the belts are mounted closer to your seats--they will not stretch as far.

Also --PLEASE use roll bar padding --although if you are not wearing a helmet and contact the roll bar--padded or not more than likely your head will give way---that is why many street driven cars do not go to a full cage.

I'd like to see it in an S14, but nobody has one yet..

Roll bar is simply a bar that goes across the headline of a car so that if it ROLLS the bar will be the only thing that the ground touches, along with the A pillar support and such. it also helps reduce body roll of the car quite a bit if installed correctly. look at the SRT-10 Viper.. its a convertable, and the bar going across the back (although its part of the actual body form) is a ROLL BAR so ur head doesnt get severed or ginded into a pulp..or has less chance of getting severed or grinded, if u were to flip the sucker.

a Roll Cage is a cage that is comprised of several roll bars that do the same thing as a roll bar, only in more than just one point..most common is 4 along the headliner, to create a box shape.. a cage is exactly what it is, a metal box to house your body.

a roll bar is just a roll cage missing 3 other headliner bars. they work on quite the same principle. except a cage will protect you about 75% more than a roll bar would.
