Racing Harness

[R34 Sedan]

Hi Guys,

I have a farked back, and need to push my ares hard in to the back of the seat, with the belt very tight.

When I do this the belt put's to much pressure on one side of my body (and doesn't hold my spine straight), which causes further back pain.

I'd like to look at installing a racing harness (for street use) so I'm held in the seat even.

Dose anyone know if it's possible to fit a harness to the standard seat of an R34 GT-T, if so what are the legalities, and would I need an engineers certificate.

Last of all any idea where I would have it fitted.

Thanks

a proper harness with quick release wont be legal for street use. also I would recommend against using a 4 point belt with a standard seat anyway as it has no belt guides around your neck and even worse no neck guides for the lap belts which leaves them free to move. in an accident it's possible you will 'submarine' under the belts and be in real trouble.

if you have a back problem perhaps look at a fixed back bucket seat. they give full back support and are of course compatible with a 4 or even 6 point harness. plus they protect your whole spine and will not easily snap in half like a factory seat will, they also promote a more upright seating position which wont hurt.

Yeah I thought about that but it's difficult because the seats never feel the same in the show room as they do when fitted to the car.

In a previous car I had a good quality Recaro, which felt great in the show room, but once fitted to the car (different angle, height, etc) it felt terrible, and I ended up removing it.

Also do these bucket seats have any adjustable lumbar support?

Thanks

Nah they don't have lumbar support... and the back supports on the market don't fit the buckeet seats either because they are too wide, I've tried.

sparco have a range of velcro in lumbar support cushions for bucket racing seats...
