It helps locate the waist strap and keep it where it's supposed to be, so helps everywhere.

Exactly. Not so much under braking, but if you have an accident. It keeps the waist strap from riding up into your abdomen area and causing massive internal injuries. The belt is supposed to go around your hips and pelvis, as this is far less likely to cause serious injury.

I bought a 3" harness from SAAS australia . It`s a 5 point , but can be modified to a 4 point. Adr/fia approved. It was about $150 i think. It`s perfect for the GTR. It comes in it`s own kit bag with eyelets .

Thanks to all that responded, I ended up heading out to Revolution Racegear on Parramatta road Auburn, was very well looked after and picked up all the other little bits i needed. Ended up with a 3" 4 point rpm harness with a crotch strap, that way i can run it with 4 of 6 as the clip is on the lap belt whereas the dedicated 6 point it is on the crotch.

Think i will go back though as i want a new race seat now too. There is some sexy gear there.

Haha and it begins.... :D

Just make sure that the harness is correctly adjusted at all times and you should be sweet. As per Marlin's post, tighten the fark out of it until you can't breathe, then give it another nudge for good measure (well, exaggeration, but you get the idea)

I'm dreading my next visit to pick up some mud flaps, because I can't seem to walk out without spending at least $500.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
