4RE Leather Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I've had no luck I was after a graffiti one but can't get it shipped to the UK, read bad reviews about NRG ones (old reviews, don't know if they revised the design?) and can't bring myself to pay so much for the sparco one as its my least favorite and most expensive option! I got quoted a price to get a graffiti style one fabricated locally, I'm also going to look into the eBay one and see if it would be possible to weld another strut in that sits lower. Don't now where you live but I know a good fabricator in Swanley Junction 3 M25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Temporary measure, I have my harnesses wrapped around the rear strut brace, proper FIA approved method of folding them and it works fine. Just depends if you want all of the plastic removed from the strut or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends if you want all of the plastic removed from the strut or not. Never thought about wrapping around it actually lol original plan was to screw it into rear strut bar, but after reading about it - apparently metal not thick/strong enough unless support bracket etc welded to spread stress point!

lmc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Starting to think i might just bolt harness to the boot floor. Left the rotary scene because it was hard to source parts never thought it would be this difficult for a nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yea, should be fine if you get one of these: http://bit.ly/QNObJI Plus you need to have it go 20 degrees below your shoulders level if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I had the bar looked at, and it was decided that as my shoulder straps are 3" wide and I'm not damaging the structure it should be fine. Obvs it's only a temp measure until I get a full cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 They are easy to get hold of from US...just postage costs same as a harness bar which is a p*ss take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If you know what part number you want and how many then I'm sure I can look at getting a price. If there's more than one it would be worth while but as you have found out not really cost effective shipping one on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's more than one it would be worth while but as you have found out not really cost effective shipping one on its own Just looking for either the sparco or graffiti harness bar. Carriage isn't a problem as im willing to pay it just can,t seem to find anyone that wants my cash I need to sort something asap as there are a lot of other parts i want to buy but there pointless if i can,t get a harness bar.

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Graffiti K one works out around £400 They have a couple in stock, powder coating takes a couple of weeks This looks the better design IMO but will see what I can get the Sparco at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
