Harness Question

Does anyone have a four or five point harness in their maxima and have pics or info? Just curious to see if there are and the setups people have.
Thanks

G-Force 3" 5-point (though I don't use the submarine strap, so it's really a 4-point). I bought the version with extended shoulder straps and they clip into eye bolts mounted using the rear seatbelt bolt holes (have to take back seat bottom out).

I use a corbeau 4 point. its basically a copy of the schroth. It has a clip in the middle so I can disconnect the shoulder straps from the rear mounts to use the back seat. I prefer the 2" wide belts over the 3" for autocross use.

Agreed...in retrospect I wish i had gone with 2", but the 3" were too good of a deal to pass up.

FYI, the straps that go over your shoulder should not be more than a 40 degree angle downward. It's said to be dangerous if thats the case.

true, but for autocross purposes it's not really an issue. There is virtually no chance of hitting anything hard enough to create the downward forces on the harness for spiine compression to happen. Now, on a road course...that's another story.

Unfortunately, without a rollbar or harness bar, there's not much you can do about the angle on the maxima.

i'd say mine is at about a 40-degree angle or so anyhow....

each to his own I guess. Of course we'd all prefer to do track days...but logistically and financially autocross is easier for most.

Well it would be nice if at least you found the right thread before you posted. this thread is about harnesses... like seatbelts. Has nothing to do with ECUs or ECU harnesses. Read the thread before posting man.

STS cars are slow. Even slower with harnesses.

Do any of you harness guys have a roll bar? I was talking to some people that said that harnesses without a roll bar/cage are a horrible, dangerous idea because if you roll over you cant duck. I suppose so, but it just isnt very convincing...

yeah a harness without a roll bar is very dangerous if you were to roll over... thats why you shouldnt use the harness on the street or road course without a roll bar. but it is ok to use a harness without a roll bar at autox because the speeds arent really high enough to roll a heavy car like the maxima

So you use the stock belts on the street and throw the harness on at an autox?
