Harness Bar Availability
 
Searched around and couldn't find any off the shelf harness bars for the Z34. Seems like everyone is still advocating just getting a custom one made. Basically just looking to be able to run a 4 maybe 5 point harness for Autocross to keep me more planted during my runs. Definitely would like to keep my factory belts for normal street driving so any bar that allows that would be preferred.

I was planning on using this as a harness bar...

The way I read the SCCA Solo rules this rear brace isn't allowed in the ASP class. I was really hoping for a bar that utilizes the factory belt points up top with the braces going down to floor similar to this one that fits mustangs.

^^ I had one just like that in my Evo. I haven't seen one for the Z yet.

So the GT Spec style brace isn't allowed?

I'm in Toledo so just name the time and place and I'll let you guys use my nismo to fab something up. I don't have any racing seats yet but getting the harness bar would have me sitting pretty for getting the seats later this summer or over the winter. This would also be a great "excuse" to check out your guys shop. :happydance:

We would prob need the car for a day or two... Let me see what I can do.

The way I read the rules you're allowed to add a strut tower brace that is either 2-point or 3-point. The GT Spec has 4 points so no go in ASP.

I make one for my Time Attack Z. Not sure if it can be used in your class. Check out my journal.

Not sure if that's the stock bar or not but I thought the general consensus was that the stock bar was not strong enough to act as a harness bar.

No, that's not the stock bar. Stock Bar wont hold. That's why we made it in steel and 3" piping. The same material when we make roll cages. Rock solid.
Just look at the pictures carefully, you should br able to find out the difference

Have you tried contacting BGTV8? He may have one or two left. I'm quite happy with mine!

Nice, can you still retain use of the OEM seat belt?

heh. Was supposed to. I bought hardware to do that but the fella who installed it all pulled the stock belts. I think my rush in prepping for ZdayZ may have led him to do that. (was going to install myself but I had to have a custom seat bracket built due to my height...)

Haha, the ZDayZ "push". Gotta get all the last minute mods in. I'm trying to get a headstart on 2013 :tup:

Is your bar floating between the B pillars or are there floor braces? I guess the floor braces would make it a 4-pt...
