yeah I was thinking of changing the seats to a bucket seat but then thought the normal seats are quite comfy and if I could use the harness for trackdays then I won't have to sacrifice comfort.....and it also keeps the interior symetrical and stock.

I was under the impression the question was if the harnesses would look weird (and perform ok) in between the 2 metal rod thingys on a normal 33gts-t seat? Not about mounting it? :)

yeah thats what I was wondering

Yeah the car is in peices, when its back together thats cool :D

Ive actually got a harness here at home, but Im fubared to know how to install/hook it up in my 33!

I really should try and see how it goes.

Tim (tjandrison in nsw) has one with his 33 GTR James, he puts it in for track days and texi etc

I recon it would be a bit dodgy between the metal bars of the headrest. All the weight/tension would be pushing those thin little bars outwards. You really do need a seat with holes in it, like the GTR seats.

Go grab yourself a 2nd hand set of GTR seats to put in your car... still comfy, more supportive AND you can use a harness :P

or a year or 5

His car is a GTR so it still doesn't help with the harness inbtween the bar thing....oh well guess i'll find out if I ever buy a harness

you'll be fine! I've seen a few with them.... but never actually looked closely!

it's a bad idea to use a 4 point harnes with any recliner type seat. GTR or GTST or otherwise.

there are no guids for the lap belts which means they can ride around. also in an accident the seat back is very likely to part company from the base which can leave you in a world of trouble. extra downward pressure from the harness shoulder belts will put stress on the seat, and then on your spine.

4 point racing harnesses are designed to work with racing fixed back seats.

Actually its pics of how you have mounted it that would really help, did you have to put holes in the tunnel etc?

No holes at all, see below

I got a 4 point in my GTR aswell with standard seats. I have used the rear seat belt anchors to attach the harness at the rear. ill try and find a pic

Same

some pics

Yep, exactly the same, but for street use you can unclip the harness at the front and just throw the belts over the back of the seat, then slip the seat cover on and no one would ever know >_<

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
