Now i know that the center locks arent, but would the double wishbone setup be "street legal" in a sense if you could get it engineered?

Yeah 100% it an be engineered. Suspension modifications can be engineered as long as they are designed and fabricated to a standard the engineer is happy with.

I've only done 1 GTR that's been engineered we made some minor changes to satisfy the engineer.

Troy I do still do those hicas rear ends, the design has changed slightly to make them easier to fabricate but essentially the same components.

Its been a while as weve been flooded with work before the Wakefield 300 and the begining of the motorsport year begins.

Last weekend we competed in the Wakefield 300 endurance race along side PIstore in an S15 that we built and prepared for production car racing.

The event went well before the poor little factory SR20 threw a rocker arm and ran on 3 cylinders 94 laps into the race.

Great event we will certainly return next year for another crack at it.

The way I rather do them is from the lower rear seat belt mounts

It's a case of remove the rear seat, bolt the harness bar down and do the track day.

Remove harness bar seat back in and back to normal.

Problem is those upper seat belt mounted ones create a dangerous lever when you pull on the belts.

They swing downwards in an arc allowing the belts to loosen.

The idea of those bars going down is to try and prevent that rotation. They just bend.

I don't have any photos of mine but they pull directly against the bolt holes with no rotating forces

I can see where you are coming from with that. How much would it be for the harness bar with both the back seat and top bolt mounts.

I like things to be secured properly when they are in so the more points I can mount it to the better.

I wouldnt mount a harness bar from the rear seat and upper front bolts, its way to over engineered for how simple a harness bar can be.

For an R33 a harness bar done from 4130 chromolly tube ready for you to remove the back seat and bolt in they are sold for $330inc gst.

Always up for some alloy engine bay work and subframe mods.

We are expecting our 1st baby to arrive early April so I haven't booked much in for next month which has made it easy to be picky with work.

Let me know when you want to get it done and ill accommodate it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
