Pritchard Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 hi guys. anyone fitted these? Im not looking for the debate of the pros n cons. i just like the look of it and want to spray it a nice orange was wondering what hacking needs to be done to the interior panels etc. anyone got one?

KyleR Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You mean the braces for a 4 point harness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Theres only one picture on that ebay link. but yes, its looks similar, but cant confirm if thats what the intended use for this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pritchard Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 so i guess no-one has fitted one... Do i have to take a leap of faith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There are better things to spend your money on. This will just drive you crazy every time you look in you rear view mirror. Not necessary on a road car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 ^^ if no-one else has one... just makes me want one more the interior is next to get attention. anything that i can find, design, or modify that can add value to its looks is on the shortlist. especially if its potentially spray-able i do agree with the rear view mirror though. i did think that, and im sure its going to get in the way. (the lack of rear visibilty might make the rear wiper obsol.... oh hang on ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaqkaudio Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I never followed through with this but I did message the seller about it last year... He'll direct you straight to Ultra Racing themselves. Had no clue on any extra cutting needed and had no other photos of it fitted to a 350z, just a heads up Edited February 16, 2015 by blaqkaudio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott TMN Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 A mate of mine at GC Fabrication recently made this for me, to use as a jig to make more. Doesn't sit any higher than Strut so visibility is fine (Havnt driven with it yet to be fair, I'm getting mine at the end of the month) £205 and I think that might include it being powder coated? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Scott_f91: IF your friend wants to make a few for that sort of price, I'd have one ! Pritchard: It's a shame that you can't use a harness but I guess it just act's as another bracing in the middle of the car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Only your comment im afraid Driving like a grandad but fitting a strut bar to make your engine bay look pretty for shows isnt stupid. Its for show, not for track. This is the same. exactly the same. its no different. What you have just said is something ridiculus, which only makes you look daft for even suggesting it as an analogy.

Im exactly the same as you tbh. It could be used to run harnesses though I just think it looks cool. I do intend on putting the plastics back, they are only off as literally just fitted it, and took the photo in excitement lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 had it set up in a wind tunnel to achieve its most efficient angle of downforce? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 had it set up in a wind tunnel to achieve its most efficient angle of downforce? Of course he hasnt. ... Kind of makes you wonder, whats the point of taking around the track if you cant affoard to set it up properly. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 had it set up in a wind tunnel to achieve its most efficient angle of downforce? No but more efficient at its job than a harness bars being painted some vulgar pattern without harness attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
