AST Weld-in Roll Cage Nissan Silvia PS13 Coupé V5

The AST Weld-in Roll Cage Nissan Silvia PS13 Coupé V5 is a full roll cage for the Nissan Silvia PS13 with two-door coupé body, welded to the body at eight points. This Weld-in Roll Cage PS13 V5 is supplied as a welding kit and welded into one unit in the car.

A weld-in cage spreads the forces over the whole body instead of over a few bolt points. That makes it stronger than a bolt-in cage, and for many competition classes it is the required version. The V5 is the most extensive weld-in cage for the PS13, with the most tubing of the range.

Key benefits

• Eight weld points: the cage is welded to the body in eight places.
• Stronger than bolt-in: the forces are spread over the whole body.
• Anchored at the rear: in the rear suspension area.
• Most extensive weld-in cage: the most tubing of the range.
• Gussets included: to reinforce the joints.
• E355 steel: 45 mm diameter main hoop, 40 mm for the rest of the structure.
• Custom base plates: 3 mm thick steel, designed per car rather than universal.
• Exact fit: the body is digitised with laser scanners before the cage is drawn in 3D.
• Complete kit: supplied unpainted with fixings, documentation, installation manual, sticker set and welding test sample.

Installation and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. It comes as a welding kit and is welded into one unit in the car. Leave the welding to someone with experience in roll cages: the included welding test sample is meant to check beforehand that the welding settings are right. On a PS13 of this age, check beforehand that the mounting areas are free of rust: welding onto corroded panels gives a cage that will not do its job in a crash. This cage is intended for circuit and competition use; check the regulations of your own motorsport organisation beforehand.

Eight weld points and the tubing of the V5: a PS13 that is ready for competition.

Why choose this Weld-in Roll Cage PS13 V5?

For anyone building the PS13 into a dedicated circuit or competition car, a weld-in cage is the strongest choice. The V5 gives you more tubing than the lower versions and therefore a stiffer body, which you feel in how the car responds on the circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference with a bolt-in cage?

A bolt-in cage is bolted in on six points and can come out again. This Weld-in Roll Cage PS13 V5 is welded in on eight points and is therefore stronger, but stays in the car permanently.

Can I weld the cage in myself?

Only if you have experience welding roll cages. A poor weld takes the strength out of the structure. If in doubt, leave it to a specialist.

Does this cage also fit the S13 hatchback?

No. This cage is designed for the two-door coupé. The three-door hatchback has a different rear body and gets its own cage from AST, which you will find separately in our shop.

What is the delivery time?

The standard delivery time for this roll cage is 15 to 35 working days, because AST builds every cage to order.
