Do-Luck RXB or RTG? Dousan/others? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok, so I'm contemplating on which one to get. The Rear Cross Bar or the Rear Tension Guage.

I've searched on zilvia.net and freshalloy and most of what comes up is how wonderful the RXB is, but no one seems to mention the RTG... I've never seen an actual pic of this installed (other than the one w/ the white interior), so does anyone know of people with it in their car? Reason no one comments is because no one tried it, I'm ASSuming?

I'd love to get the RTG (don't mind paying the extra $200) as long as it outperforms the RXB (which a part of me doubts). But I'm not going to pay another $200 for the RTG just because it's 'bling, bling'..

Any thoughts, experiences?

Thanks

rtg is just for stiffness, not rollover protection

rbx is stiffness and you lose rear leg room of course.

i love my RXB

Right, since the tension guage is designed just for stiffness, and has more mounting points than the RXB, do you think it would stiffen the chasis up more than the RXB? Or is the difference minimal...?

get them both.

How much legroom is lost with the RXB? can you not slide the seat as far back, or are you just saying now the back seat is now for little kids.........with no legs.

mmm most of it is gone

kidinthehall · 12-01-2003, 10:06 PM

i meant who loses the leg room, the front or rear passengers?

ucfz31s13 · 12-01-2003, 10:15 PM

Look at this:

I would say front seat railing is not affected.

Gotcha......i was just curious if it prevented the front seats from being able to be slid all the way back somehow.................i dont give a damn about those unfortunate enough to end up in the back seat

both will fit. rxb will give you like no leg room for passengers but there wasn't really much to begin with. get a custom roll cage. you can get even stiffer than rtg and it provides rollover protection if you ever decide to mount harnesses.

dont steal alex's pics. he will cut you..
