hey guys and gals

i am going to be getting bride bucket seats for my 180 and i am planing on fitting harnesses

first will it really make any difference on what brand i get like if i bought them from repco etc

how would i mount them i was thinking of replacing the 2 bolts on the rear of the seat rails and the 2 in the back seat that hold the rear seat belts with eye bolts. will that work?

also where about can buy eye bolts from

thanks

Gordon

You must make sure the eye bolts can stick out so you can get a nut and a washer on it.

Also using the rear seat bolt mounts is a no go for cams event (angle is greater than 40 degree).

On the r33 i had to drill out one of the front seat holes (rear left) as the eye bolt was bigger than the std bolt. and then on the other side i didn't use the seat mount as the r33 has a mount of the side.

is your bride seat fixback? all harness will fit as they all will be 4inch or smaller in width

Also, I didnt some research last month and you can use SFI rated harnesses but they are only good for 2 years.

Summit Racing in the US sells cam-lock SFI rated harnesses for significantly cheaper than can be had locally.

Fia or cams approve hardness are not a must if your not doing full on racing. Cams doesn't allow 40 degree angles but most Japanese harness say just to bolt them into the back seat, that is fine as long as you can get a nut on the eye bolt. As in the case of an accident if the eye bolt is just screw into the thread of the back seat bolt holes it may rip out.

If you can I can throw up some pics later of how I did it in my 33 to give you an ideA

thanks for that. that is what i was thinking of doing with the 180. so on the right side did the 33 just have a nut?? on the 180 on that side is a threaded bolt sticking out and the rest is bolts for the seat rails

better of using propper mounting plates and following the instalation instructions that come with your harness

i use a willans 4" 4 point that can be converted to a 6 point and believe it is far better than the sparco 3" 3 point i used to run

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
