It's looking the cheapest.

The question is. the TRS for $225 or so, or an extra $25 for a Velo, get it faster, support Aus etc...

Unless someone has a better deal or knows of an FIA 4pt for less than $225 delivered.

If you want a good harness then Sabelt or Schroth are the industry standards. Many of the Sparco harnesses etc are actually Sabelt. Have a look at the adjusters, some are nightmares...generally the alloy being more expensive function better.

That said as long as you know what you want...3", alloy or steel adjusters....saloon style, 4/5/6 point and you are not worried about brand then OMP, Sparco, Willans, Racetech, Velow, Takata, RPM...just shop around and get the best buy.

Also, when looking at ebay and cheap harnesses...often the cheap ones are 2 or so years into their validity period.

Good information guys.

I got a thing for Sparco lol so was getting a Sparco 6 point but now will check out the points mentioned above.

Anyone here use a HANS device in a saloon type car?? There normally an open wheeler thing I thought.

BTW Dan get a 6 point. I have a 4 point and it irritates me when it rides up my waist so hence why I want a 6 point... In addition to the extra mounting points.

I've got a TRS in my drivers seat and a willans in my passanger side both are very good. Willans has different webbing, bit softer but thats about it. I got the trs from the driftworks site in the UK, took about a week. TRS was allot cheaper from memory.

I ended up with a Velo Magnum 4pt. Just waiting on the cage to arrive so I can put it in.

I got it from a new local supplier - http://theracerswarehouse.com.au/

Very happy with the price and excellent customer service. Nice to deal with an online retailer who gets back to you quickly and answers your questions properly (and speaking from experience).

With a 4pt harness, make sure you pay attention to the location of the lap belt mounts. You need to keep the lap belt down over the boney part of your hips/pelvis when the shoulder straps are tightened. To achieve that, the mounts generally need to be alot further forward than the factory lap sash mounts are. Generally 20-30deg behind vertical is the greatest angle you can use.

Yeah it is for this reason that alot of people use 6 point harnesses. They may chafe your balls but in the event of something serious happening they are worth the discomfort.

Are there any rules on harnesses for track days? Tried the cams website but I couldn't find any information.

I was looking at mounting them on the original seat belt mounts with the original seat belt.

Like this: figure A & B

The I bolt seat belts look to be a bit of a pain and I don't want to drill into the carpet/body.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
