Default Top Secret Z33 Takata's mount???

Ok guys well i did a search and came up with nothing refering to this. I just picked up an 06 Z33 and will be doing an extreme conversion to the car for my shop. The problem i am having is the car will not be tracked or raced as it is pretty much just for advertising for my shop and i currently track my M3 . In my S2000 i use a bride/takata combo which is what i am leaning towards for this car also. the problem is in My S i have a 6pt Cusco roll cage with harness bar as you can see in the pics below. And it is my understanding that Cusco/safety 21 does not make a cage for the Z yet(still to be determined for sure) But in any case if anyone knows the Top Secret Widebody Z very well they will know the Recaro takata combo they use. the problem i am having is finding out how they mounted the takata's in that car as i know they do not have a roll cage in it. The pics i have found looks like they tapped into something behind the seat and i am guessing attachted eye bolts into something. Right now the thought i am being told is they tapped into the rear brace behind the seats under the Z cover. In any case if anyone has any information they could pass on about mounting these that way or of a company who makes a quality Harness bar that would be greatly appreciated thanks.

There are a number of harness bar options available for the Z. I believe Kirk Racing has a 4 or 6 point cage w/ harness bar. Will the roof open and close with the full Cusco cage in place on your S2K?

Since he's not going to track the car, I don't think he'll need something that extensive & $$$$. I'm at work right now but I have a link at home of a site that sells a single bar that is mounted around the B-Pillars. I believe a member here developed them. He was able to use it for his harnesses, mounting point for a camera, or even an extinguisher. I'll post the link when I get home.

Edit: Actually, I found it...here you go - http://www.bcrltd.net/

Ya that is pretty much what i was looking for. just a harness bar. as i don't really want to put a roll cage in the car unless it is a true JDM cage. I was told that Cusco/safety 21 does infact make a cage for the Z33 in 4,5,6 and 7 points. so i am waiting to hear more details about that. the kirk is nice but i see no points for harnesses. i will try to find the pic i am talking about and post it up of the TS Z33....

well after looking at that harness bar i think its pretty expensive. the bar is $500 when i could get that 4pt cage from kirk for $350. I just need to know if they offer harness mounts with that cage.

Have you heard if any of them will work with the Roadster? I'm VERY interested in seeing pix of this.

No word about the roadster as have a coupe. but when i get more information i will ask. The harness bar is no good as they are designed to be used with harnesses that wrap around the bar. the takata's do not do that, they are designed to be cliped to an eyebolt. and the kirk cage says nothing about having mounting points for harnesses so i am waiting to hear from them also.
