Description

AST Weld-in Roll Cage Nissan Silvia S14 Coupé V5

The Weld-in S14 V5 is the most comprehensively equipped weld-in cage AST designs for the Nissan Silvia S14 Coupé. A full roll cage with eight welded mounting points and the complete set of bars, supplied as a weld-in kit.

Where the V4 stops at a harness bar and one extra diagonal brace, the V5 carries on until the structure is fully designed all the way round. For a car that competes and where the regulations call for the most comprehensive bar layout, this is the version you are looking for.

Key benefits

• Complete set of bars: the highest specification level in the weld-in range.
• Eight welded mounting points: the cage is permanently welded to the bodyshell.
• Door bars and harness bar: side protection plus a fixed point for your shoulder straps.
• 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.

Fitting and delivery

The cage is built to order; the standard delivery time is 15 to 35 working days. This is the most extensive fitting job in the weld-in range: the entire interior comes out, as do the dashboard and the door cards, and the cage is welded to the bodyshell at eight points. Allow several days of work at an experienced roll cage builder. This cage is intended for track and competition use; check the regulations of your own sporting organisation beforehand.

Everything AST can design for an S14, in a single unpainted weld-in kit.

Why choose this Weld-in S14 V5?

If you compete in a class where the cage is scrutineered, you do not want any discussion about missing bars. The V5 gives you the full specification of this range and is welded in, so it is as rigid as this bodyshell can get. You give up space and convenience for it, but in return you get a car that leaves no questions unanswered.
