Okay here is a question for everyone out there? Where should I secure the 4-point harness for a racing seat in a Z32 convertible? Would it really be worth doing the change over as well? Its not like I'm gonna be doing anything illegal I just want to be secured in the car when I'm being thrown by the G's.

Also if anyone has a particular brand they recommend that would be helpful too. Thanks all!!!

roll bar that is bolted and or welded to the chassis, and any belt that is SFI aproved with a SFI tag and is not more then a few years old or dried up ripped...etc

also: most of those "racing seats" are usually worse in a crash then the stock seats.

yeah you need a roll bar that has another bar shoulder height behind the seat. you are not supposed to mount harnesses any lower than shoulder height other wise you risk spinal injury in a crash. so until you can do that, the stock seat belts will do just fine.

very good snw! Its like nobody knows that anymore. I see lots of race cars in magazines that have the harnesses bolted to the floor directly behind the seat.

or you could do it the cheap way and have someone weld you up a harness bar out of thick roll cage tubing.

shouldn't all verts come with some sort of roll bar?
imo for safetys sake they should.
roll bars do seem to be a popular aftermarket item.
who knew that safety would be such a profitable market?
