Getting there.....

Still need to adjust (cut off and re-weld) a couple of brackets to make it all fit.

Mainly the oil filter is too far forward and hoses interfere with intercooler pipe, doh, measure twice.

I like the idea of bash proofing the car, it adds weight, but im never going to win any races either way.

Oh, and if you spot something suspicious (youd need sharp eyes) its not real, its a toy.

Saw a Thread recently about removing the Plastic Cover under the wipers, so I gave it a go. >>> Thread is Here <<<

Thanks to a pic in there, it was not as hard as it seemed. Been wanting to do this for ages.

Heaps of Dustiness under there but it's clean now. :D

All set up. :happy:

A lot of mucking about getting the right angles for harness mounts, and getting the seat set up properly.

I wish the other bracket worked and my helmet didnt hit the roof, as it was much easier to bolt in and out.

If i cant sell those brackets i may modify one to be lower.

Looks awesome. What's the deal with street use? as in, can you use the Harness or does it have to be normal seatbelt?

For comfort, is the harness easily tucked aside? etc...

Tried it out with a little drive today.

Oh my god, thats the most impractical set up for daily driving.

Cant turn your head around, cant reach the door if it opens, cant have anything in your pockets, cant breathe if its too tight etc.

Good for trackday though.

Normal seat going back in today.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
