Which cars does the D1 7-Point Around-Dash Roll Cage for S13 fit?

Cusco USA lists it for the US left-hand-drive S13 Nissan 240SX three-door hatchback from 1989 to 1994, with or without a sunroof. The D1 7-Point Around-Dash Roll Cage for S13 is made for left-hand drive only, so a right-hand-drive import needs a different cage.

What does around-dash mean?

The A-pillar bars follow the pillars and pass around the dashboard instead of through it, so the factory dash stays in the car and no trim has to be cut. A dash-through cage needs the dashboard cut or modified to fit, in return for more room.

How does the D1 cage compare with Safety 21?

Both use 40 mm tube. The D1 is chromoly with a 1.6 mm wall in Cusco Blue, which Cusco says makes it about a third lighter, and it is designed around D1 Grand Prix rules. Safety 21 is STKM13C steel with a 2.0 mm wall in black, and it costs less.

Will this cage pass tech inspection in my series?

That depends on the rulebook. Cusco designs its D1 cages around the D1 Grand Prix regulations and states that they may not meet FIA rules or those of other sanctioning bodies. Check your series rules on tube size and material before ordering, because a made-to-order cage cannot be returned.

How long does the cage take to arrive?

Cusco builds each cage to order by hand in Japan and quotes 10 to 12 weeks for delivery to the US, by LTL freight. Once production has started Cusco will not accept a return unless the cage is defective or the order was wrong, so confirm the part number and drive side first.

Description

Cusco D1 7-Point Around-Dash Roll Cage for S13 Nissan 240SX Hatchback, LHD

Cusco’s D1 7-Point Around-Dash Roll Cage for S13 Nissan 240SX Hatchback is a full-cabin chromoly cage: a main hoop, rear stays, A-pillar bars that run around the dashboard, and a diagonal across the main hoop, built for left-hand-drive cars. It is drawn from 40 mm chromoly tube with a 1.6 mm wall in Cusco Blue, and Cusco puts its D1 cages at about a third lighter than its Safety 21 steel cages. The factory dashboard stays in the car, and the cage suits a drift or time attack build that wants front and rear tube without the weight of steel.

Design and Performance

Joining the main hoop to the front bulkhead through the A-pillar bars makes the D1 7-Point Around-Dash Roll Cage for S13 one structure along the cabin, which adds far more torsional stiffness than a rear cage and puts tube over the front seats. Chromoly keeps the 40 mm diameter of Cusco’s steel cages with a thinner wall. Cusco hand-builds D1 cages in Japan around the D1 Grand Prix regulations.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
