Hi guys

i wanted to install a 4 point harness in my car but wanted to keep it simple such as not having to attach them to the parcel shelf.

i know that harness bars attach from the one side of the car to the other, but i was wondering if it was possible to have a harness bar made just so that it is behind the drivers seat and not both front seats??

probz a stupid comment but im just tryin my luck :D

cheers

I really doubt you are going to be able to make this work. the harness points need to be attached somewhere structual within the car and there is nothing where you are talking about, especially at the correct hieght for a harness to be going to. If your serious about having a harness then do it properly or its just more dangerous than having a 3 point street belt.

As for using the parcel shelf i wouldnt recomend it in a skyline. its very easy for harness bars to be installed in cars like wrx's and commodores as they have more structual mounting points to use and have a better angle from the parcel shelf to the drivers seat (skylines parcel shelf is too high).

One option is to come down between the back seat and its back rest. screw eyebolts into where the current back seatbelts are screwed in. Safety wise tho this is borderline. According to CAMS this is only within a couple degrees of being acceptable.

Im not trying to make show car so i dont care the back of my car is naked, but this is what i had done to mount a harness properly.

Just have a think about if this is worth while or you just want some bling.

nice bar! who made that, and is it in a 33?

Yup thats in a 33. It was made by Meridian Motorsport in Moorabbin. Very impressed with there build quality and they are just good blokes! would recommend them for any motorsport prep.

Its pretty simple process to put the seats back in too. im just lazy. its 4 hex bolts a side holding the bar in. (there is a plate with welded nuts attached on the underside of the wheel arch) and ive got cover plates i screw back in so water does splash its way through the holes)

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
