I am in the process of istalling a sabelt 6 point harness. The shoulder straps are easy peazy off the harness bar, and no problems with the gut straps either.

Went to mount the crotch strap and struck a snag. The threaded end of the eye bolts are not long enough to go through the double skin floor on a 33 skyline.

My idea is to drill a hole in the top then use a hole saw on the bottom so as to enable me to put a nut on the eye bolt using a socket. Failing that, Are there longer eye bolts (rated) available for the job. Anyone?

Not too bad if you have them adjusted correctly, ie, lap belts pulling down onto your thighs hard, then everything else adjusted from there.

Most guys run into issues when they have the buckle up round their guts, that's far too high, should be sorta just above your package.

Make sure the crutch strap is tight. cause if it's not you can slide forward in the seat under breaks, and your balls will catch the weight of your body.

I have been experimenting with different positions and yeah, You are both on the money. Nice and low and firm seems to be the best option.

I feel like a seat with arms, They dont allow the body to move around much but I guess thats the idea.

At the risk of sounding like a wanker, once I realised that I should run my harnesses tight, light, REALY tight, I reckon my driving improved massively. It's like you're completely part of the car, no moving around at all.

It's also not remotely uncomfortable, its funny, but once you're moving you don't even notice how tight you are in the car.

Better in case of a big acco too I'd like to think.

yep, first time you drive a car on a circuit with a proper seat and proper harness you can't believe how much better it is. I reckon going from basic seat with belt to proper seat and harness is probably worth up to a sec a lap, but more than that it means you can do lap after lap at the same pace. with you not having to brace youself in various parts of the cabin and not gripping the wheel so tight you can drive with your fingertips and toes and all the feel of what the car is doing is magnified 10X. best thing you can do to a road car to drive it on the track is fit good seat and harness.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
