Have seen many solutions around (particularly US), interested to know what local guys have gone with.

I remember Snowman mentioned something about rear parcel shelf custom fabrication options, good to keep safe harness angles relative to lower back seatbelt fixation points.

Not keen to put in a harness bar if possible as this is a daily driver (noted LSX's experiences with snapping the lower seatbelt fixation bolt from fitting and removing the EVO bar).

I was just down at Merridian Motorsports (looking at something for the race-car) and they mentioned they just fitted one in an R35 and they mentioned they did one in the rear parcel shelf that you could only see the eye bolts for the harness attachment on. Not sure if the guy that got it fitted is on here or not to post up some pics.

Thanks Snowy, just spoke to Brenton from Merridian Motorsports, extremely polite and helpful guy. He just finished an install for a rear parcel shelf on an R35 6 weeks ago as you mentioned.

He is wmailing some pics but sounds like a great option that maintains daily drivability but ensures safe harness fitment.

Apparently the aluminium bracing they utilise in the car joins the rear strut towers and is a damn fine bit of engineering, more than capable of safely supporting a harness bar.

speak to Brenton from Merridian motorsport he will email you the specs and pictures.

He was happy to have the images posted but I fear copycat fabrication, they have to benefit from their hard work after all!

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
