awesome im getting my seats installed in the next couple of weeks cant wait for the updates

which i knew.....
which would be a sturdier anchor... i think amuse powerhouse uses eye bolts...

I like the wrap around style myself. But I want to go with a cage next year anyways.

I'd say wrap around might be easier, but maybe with the mini bars that go over them to keep them in just one spot properly spaced... (if that makes sense)

Like these:

Like that... And if you could powdercoat a set in RED well, you've sold one set already. :tup:

ill get down with a bar... i like the TI look but not hooked on it yet...

we want to go for a super clean installed look...more like the Amuse harness bar

this bar will replace that silver bar behind the seats...harness will hook up by eye bolts

we believe its sturdier

and heres a great addition that you guys will love

one option will be a full carbon fiber beauty piece, it will cover the length of the bar so it looks like a solid piece of carbon bar

:ohsnap1:

update on brake ducts

we want ours to come out something like this, so that they work wing the stock fans to direct airflow into the tubes

Will you have to completely remod the front end into a new fang area? Or will this be an insert that you add from the back?

we're going to try and make it as install friendly as possible

we're hoping to make it
possibly a cover piece that goes over the fang
possibly a duct that is attached from the rear
possibly a duct that fits into the actual fang itself

let us know if you guys have any ideas or preferences of how you'd like it to fit

we plan on developing the harness bar before we go into the brake ducts

Well, would you guys ever consider of making a mini version of the GTR spoiler to fit on the Z? i think that would looks real nice..instead of having the Huge *** amuse spoiler. Mini version, as in maybe half the size of the GTR or 3/4 the size..

I like this idea. Main thing is getting it mounted close to the rotor.

getting the tubing close to the rotor is actually the easy part, getting the duct to fit nicely on the bumper is the hard part

i think this is a great idea, but its a little bit out of reach of our capabilities right now as it would be a complete custom part

Yea I know. But most here also want a bracket fabricated close to the rotor.

Check this link out. Scroll down about half way and look at this setup on the GTR.

Brake cooling ducts - anything new for 2010 - NAGTROC - The Nissan GT-R Owners Club

If you guys ever gonna make it I'll def be all over it..it will still give the car a sport car look to it and not too overly aggressive..and flow well w the non nismo version

yup this is what i mean

most likely our our duct will utilize the caliper bolts to hold the duct in place

How about some titanium lugs for our Sport 19" Rays?

I think washer style lugs offered in colors would be an easy hit around here

:tup:

:iagree:

Blue please.

Add

this is a great idea...gona have to do some research on that

awesome!!

yeah id like some colored lug nuts that would fit our 19" rays

Mounting to the back of the fang will be the easiest. Something like this one from Summit racing can be used as a starting point. As I recall there are a couple of screw holes already for the dummy plates, and as long as the part was black you wouldn't see it at all.

The space between the caliper and the hub is fairly tight, making something that can use this space to the max and still let you turn the wheel will be a bit of a challenge. Hanging off at the caliper attachment points is the way to go.

Unless someone will sell me a kit soon I'm seriously considering contracting a local metal shop to make the parts for me.

miata style doors

:iagree: This would look good in the fangs as well.

:shakes head: Don't take the thread down the tube just yet please.

+1 right here!

ok guys we just took in a Nismo 370z and have removed the rear bar...we are going to be building a harness bar that completely replaces that silver bar behind the seat

some preliminary specs:

- stock fitment (no need to cut or move anything at all)

- installation will be between 30 min. - 1 hour (dependant on how quick you are with tools)

- a variety of finishes (everything from powdercoated, camo, carbon fiber, kevlar) final price depends on final finish

- harnesses will attach by eyebolt

heres some pics of the stock bar

btw guys, its filled with foam!!!

so our harness bar will actually add alot of actual structural integrity to the car itself because this is very thin piece metal

and its not like structural foam that gets sprayed in and sets

this is like packaging foam that you can pull out with a long set of needle nose pliers

basically just so that you dont get any noise from the pipe when in the car

Will the mounting points of the bar itself be sturdier than stock ones? Or is it efficient enough already?

once its all bolted together its solid so the mounting points dont really need to be reinforced

You guys having any progress?

yessir we're in the D&D phase right now

will give you guys a more in depth update when i get to the shop tomorrow morning

How about a spoiler for the roadster.... :(

hey guys

heres a pic of the spot in our shop where the prototype piece will be constructed

right now we're finishing up one of our ISS Performance Tru-Quad Exhaust Systems

as soon as this exhaust is done, we will be building a jig to start developing the Harness Bar

another thing is that we've decided to call this a Rear Strut Brace Harness Bar
the reason why we do this is because our harness bar will have much more structural integrity than the the stock piece, thus adding to the rigidity of the rear of the car

Sounds like an awesome design your going with. Can't wait for final product. Any ideas of cost yet? Repped
