370Z Harness Bar

sfearl1 · 12-04-2011, 11:40 AM

What effects (positve or negative) does a roll cage have on handling in our car? I had a harness bar in my last car that tied the b-pillars together and it seemed like it reduced body flex and added stiffness to the chassis. Turn-in was tighter and the car felt like it handled a lot better overall. Would this hold merit in a Z car that has a bolt-in cage?

Actually, I think he is saying that vendor may or may not be crap, but is blocked from this site, not the actual manufacturer of the part.

Absolutely correct. I honestly can not remember what thread i posted it in but Autopower is fine and they are reputable. However.....Outperformanceshop is not and any links to their site on the forum will be censored.

EDIT: To add to that AK had said why but ive long ago had to delete that PM in order to clear up inbox space. Sorry!

Got it. Thanx for clearing that up.

I was going to say, the roll bar I got from them appears to be of very good quality.

For what it's worth, I had no issues in my experience buying this from Outerperformance. But, I understand how these things go.

Yeah, but he's able to know with absolute certainty that he won't ever be in an accident. You should go find his other thread on the subject. It's something else.

Hey Chuck, if you don't like the flavor, stay out'a of the Kool Aide. And you seem to have cornered the market on being "something else". As an FYI, stay in Houston where you
clearly need to be.

I'm not the delusional one, Kenny boy. It doesn't surprise me at all you seem to be a government employee.

Do what you want, but never give anyone advice. Doing what you did could get them killed. Next time someone asks about harness bars and safety, have a coke and a smile and shut the **** up.

Hey Chuckie boy,
Go hug your momma, "if" you know who she is! Good luck with that!

WOW.....

You know that thing you do where you breath in and out....
You should get that seen to.......

Or insert throttle body cleaner up your urethra (anus optional) and spray away....

Or you could find a lonely turn pike one night and drink heaps....and like then drive really really fast - and test your harness bar out......

Or you could just learn to be a little smarter instead of being a fuk - stain

Let us know how that goes for you ken doll.....

uhm yeah the amuse bar is made from titanium exhaust tubing (not a good idea) slipped over ss ends(also thin wall) that bolt into the weak factory brackets(not good idea) and it's hose clamped together. it's for show only. the eyebolt connections on the bar are even done with unwelded crush nuts, they will come flying right out when they see the 1000+ lbs of force that occur in a low speed frontal impact. we aren't talking 60mph into a brick wall here we are talking 20mph into another car. You get cut off once and you are going to take the risk of at the minimum F'ing your face up on the wheel and bouncing off the glass.
