Bucket seats and harnesses

[itsyaboiT]

In the state of South Australia are bucket seats and harnesses allowed to be installed ?

Define "bucket seats". Do you mean fixed back seats? You cannot have them in a 2 door car with back seats, because they must be tilt and slide seats that allow rear passengers to escape in an emergency.

If you fit fixed back seats, then the car must be engineered without back seat occupancy.

If you change to aftermarket seats, the mounts/rails/supports are actually the most important part and must be engineered.

You might also struggle to get a racing harness engineered. A few that I've spoken to want the harness to automatically retract the way the stock one does. 

If you're 100% set on doing this and keeping it legal, find an engineer to work with first and follow their guidance.

get fixed back & harness' but keep factory seat belt for the street. Unless its for a rally/race car you can get it passed but only for limited use like in other states

The trouble is that a deep fixed back seat interferes with the stock belt holding you in. Really needs to come through the openings in the seat to have a hope of fitting across the pelvis and touching the shoulders. On that basis, it's not kosher for the street either.

A shallow enough fixed back seat to work with the stock belt is probably not worth the effort to do, if you know what I mean.
