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

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
