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

Pm me in bout 5 weeks :P

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 >_<

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
