Ok im newer to this forum so i have searched and came up with this thread:
https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...-question.html

But it doesn't give me really any clear answer.

I just got a 6 point takata harness from a member on here and im wondering in the 350 is it possible to mount this to the floor or should i put a harness bar in. Im not putting in a roll cage so whoever is going to suggest that please don't. I know that a floor install can be done but its not a safe as a harness bar. If anyone has done this before please let me know and maybe pictures would be amazing! If i can get help with this as soon as I install my harness ill be putting up a step by step installation guide.


thanks so much but please no usless comments.

 

Sorry if this is useless but I've been wondering the same thing haha...just posting so I can have this thread in my recent posts so I can refer back to it

 

yeah no problem.. i need to know because i want to see what everyone else is doing!

 

Harness bar is the way to go........

but if you want to do a simple cheap mount point you can always do an eyebolt to the rear strut bar.

hmm eyebolt on the rear strut bar? how come i don't see where to do that..

 

That can be done, but manufacturers do not recommend it.

 

alright do you have pictures?

 

^ you can find pics of that searching many harness threads.......ive seen some do this..

usually they remove the plastic, weld a 4x4 plate of steel with a threaded nut welded on to it, and then mount an eyebolt.

HMM Thats possibl but i like the plastic on there!

 

Ok, then my next question is this - why do you want a harness? Meaning, when will you use it?

 

You didn't search hard enough.

put the plastic back on if you like, just make a hole for the eyebolt shaft...

At a track..
I was just thinking about that!!

 

and you want to mount the harness to the floor? WOW!!!! The child seat anchor points also frequently get used.

 

I saw one Z in one of the workshops locally had his harness mounted to the floor. And it looks fine to me. As for a harness bar, I'm afraid that the harness might be easy to slide right and left. I might be wrong as this is my only thought.

Sorry don't have any pics, will get you some when I can

 

thanks for your input.

sounds good!! lets see some pictures when you can.

 

Function over form when it comes to safety.

 

^ looks fine means nothing wrong with it, I didnot mean they look good or better

 

The only parts that should be mounted to the floor are the lap belts and the sub strap.

 

i wish us roadster owners had an option for harness belts but alas... we dont
