AST Weld-in Roll Cage Nissan Silvia S14 Coupé V3

The Weld-in S14 V3 is a full roll cage with eight welded mounting points for the Nissan Silvia S14 Coupé, with front reinforcement bars and door bars. This is the first weld-in cage in the range that also puts steel alongside the driver.

For drifting, that is the point at which a cage becomes genuinely useful. Contact with the wall or another car almost always hits the side, exactly where the door of an S14 has little to offer.

Key benefits

• Door bars: side protection alongside the driver.
• Eight welded mounting points: the cage is permanently welded to the bodyshell.
• Front reinforcement bars: the structure continues through to the bulkhead.
• X-shaped rear structure: the rear section is braced in an X.
• E355 steel: main hoop with a diameter of 45 mm, the rest of the structure 40 mm.
• Custom reinforcement plates: 3 mm thick steel, designed for each specific car rather than as a universal part.
• Exact fit: the bodyshell is digitised with laser scanners before the cage is designed in 3D.
• Complete weld-in kit: gussets, reinforcement plates, mounting hardware, documentation, fitting instructions and a sticker set.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. The weld-in kit is assembled inside the car and welded at eight points. The door cards have to come out, as does the dashboard for the front bars. Decide on your seat position before the final welding is done. This cage is intended for track and competition use; check the regulations of your own sporting organisation beforehand.

From this version onwards, there is steel between you and the barrier, not just above and behind you.

Why choose this Weld-in S14 V3?

Side protection is what drifters need most often and put off the longest. The V3 combines door bars with a welded-in structure, so the force of any contact is absorbed directly by the bodyshell. You have less room than in a V1 or V2, but you do get the version that genuine competition use calls for.

Frequently asked questions
