Anyone considered or installed a harness bar for an R35?

- Would prefer something which can be removed in between race meetings if possible.

Any ideas or fabricators in Sydney who may have done similar work before?

Thx

thanks for the link, what do you think about that bracket coming off the seatbelt mounting point (at the top)? Looks a bit delicate.

FWIW, I've been told the EVO9 Sparco harness bar actually fits the R35 (as below) with a slight modification (longer threads for downtubes). What do you think?

I've found availability of the above harness bar (for evo 7~9) in Sydney, so it looks like this is what i will be doing. Seems nice and clean and should be installed/removed in 10 minutes or less. About $650AU. I'llpost some pics when i get it installed.

I picked up my harness bar (intended for Evo 7 - 9) and i was surprised that it all just bolted straight up!

And here is one from the USA where a guy has used from extinguiser brackets (to keep the harness itself located in place)

looks good to me. seat and harness really transform the way you drive any car on the track. they are 2 of the best track oriented mods you can do. you go from gripping the wheel and bracing yourself against various parts of the cockpit as you get flung around, to being rooted in one spot and being able to drive with your fingertips and toes. and suddenly find you have so much more feel of what the car is doing and can focus on driving it, not holding on to it!

Good point

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
