Racing Seat Belts With Bnr34 Seats?

[heatl0rd]

been thinking lately about getting some racing seatbelts put into the car. since the bnrs come with the sockets to feed the belts through it be a great idea and looks great!

was wondering if anyone knew the legalities of them and if its hard to install them into the seats?

i do know with aftermarket seats and rails the belts bolt onto the rail and back seat bolts. wats the situation with standard bnr34 seats and rails?

thanks in advance

This is from memory only...

But they are not legal. Others will confirm but i believe its to do with the buckle or something.

Two inch harness can be legal, providing the registration is changed to a 2 seater, and rear seatbelts are removed, however it must be engineered aswell.

3-inch harness can't due to the buckle design

do you have to remove the back seats? im okay removing the back seat belts but its a hassle removing the back seats.

i guess i can get it engineered.

thanks guys

Dont do it. You have to get the car engineered as a two seater, which means removing back seats, remving rear seat belts then going to Vic Roads and gettign your papers changed. This means from that day onwards you cannot legally carry passengers in the back seat or ever put the back seat back in.

If you want to get the papers changed back to saying its a 4 seater then you need to once again get the car engineered. This means not only the seat and belts come under scrutiny , but the whole car and any other mods you have.

They are also a pain in the ass to use on the street, they limit movement and you cant even change the radio station or air con settings when the harness is on Best bet is to keep your std seat belts and just use them. Using harnesses on the street is a bit silly, and if you must then use it in conjunctin with std seat belt as the places you have available to secure the harness means its more likely to injure you in an accident then help you.

SO, just be careful and do your homework thoroughly

Haha....wow! Well I guess that just about covers it!!

As Troy said, it's a bad idea for a full time street car. You can't move in a harness, and it will quickly get on your nerves.

You can do it but there is only one type of harness thats legal it has the same type of buckle as a standerd car (push button) I would advise you to go to vicroads.com to check, and you can leave your back seats in so long as your harness does not interfere with the rear passenger (check this it's from memory) if you got though the rules and regs you'll find out we can get away with more than you think such as a roll cage doesnt need engineering for vicroads to pass it, just follow the guide lines they state and it all nice and legal but cams will need engineering just a couple of thoughts good luck

Well yes and no.

VicRoads requires and engineers depending on the situations

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyre...265/0/VSI28.pdf

Reasons are - Modification to car structure, Seats/Seat Belts etc

Now, being a coupe, you wont get a full cage in there with the rear seats, therefore engineers is coming

true the seat belts are a grey area they say to use original points thats a bit hard as the seat belt clicky thing is part of the seat (R33 anyway) I spoke to them about that as im keen to put a cage in my car and what i was told it would br a quick check and thats about it i'm making my rail connect to the original seat fixing. With the rear seat your right if you put a full cage in it will need to be classed as a two seater as the bar work hinders the passenger from getting out quickly hopfully i'll be starting it soon i'll post up any problems i come aross in the fab section
