S14 7pt Roll Cage Qs... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I just picked up a 7pt roll cage for my 14 and I will have to say I need a little help to figure this out. Took me a little thinking at first to figure out how I was going to get the center arch in the car. Got that in but now I am wondering where the rear mounts mount to? I am kind of thinking I will have to take out the rear seat side panels so the rear bars will mount up. Here are some pics, let me know what you think or if you have any pics of some S14's with roll cages... Thanks...

Ok well I think I figured out about the rear mounts. I will have to drill a hole through the rear seat corner panels to mount it up on the wheel well. As for the install well I still haven't got it all squared up yet. First thing I noticed I did wrong was I padded the roof bar so it wasn't allowing it go fit where it needed to be. Now I am trying to get the 2 front bars to get in place so I can mount those also. I also padded those from top to bottom and it seems like the top portion is rubbing on the roof again and I may need to unpad that portion. But for I cut it off I am trying to see if it is really that stoping me from getting it all set up...

you remove your interior?
often premade cages such as cusco require the interior to be removed (headliners and a pillar pieces etc)

You could take it appart and put it together in the car cause yours has hinges. Your going to need a friend to help you though.

Hehe ya it was in pieces when I was putting it in the car... So you are thinking I have to take out all the interior to make it fit? Does anyone have any pics of a S14 with a roll cage?
