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

pm more like in 15 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 >_<

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
