Amuse Tower Brace
 

It truly is a work of art, no question. I have also a harness seat belt installed on the driver's side. Got a great deal from Vivid Racing. You will not be disappointed in the least. The photos do not give it the justice that it truly deserves. It probably is the only one in this area right now. Photos to follow.

Ok, here you are, let's hope that this works??

It is a fancy looking brace, but i have heard bad things about using it for harnesses. That even though it is reinforced, it is still not strong enough and it is at too steep an angle to be safe.

If the harness is just for show, more power to ya, but I wouldn't wear it for any kind of driving.

He's right a proper and safe harness should be anchored to the frame

It looks amazing though. I want one so bad! How long was the wait?

Here's another- woofers covered-

This is the second car that I have had a harness installed in and it is just as
secure as the first one! The harness is DOT approved and I had the best crew
in this area install it (AAM). I have no fear that it will protect me. But fears aside, I am not letting my baby hit one thing, on that one, you can bet the farm! Thanks for the comment. :driving:

Copy that. I would note, however, that it feels just as secure as the NASCAR Racer that I drove on the Richmond Track. As noted earlier, however, I am not letting a thing come close to hitting my Darksde. It's a 2009 with less than 12,600 miles on it.

AT FUCKING ALL!!!

It uses the OEM bar support

Trust me when I tell you, it was a long one. It was at least 6-8 weeks. Nonetheless, the wait was worth it and Vivid had the best, bar none,
price. The customer service was on point as well. Sean held my hand
all the way through. They can get virtually anything from the "land
of the Rising Sun". Check them out! :tiphat:

Tell him Ken sent you..

its a great piece that's for sure. great piece of JDM art here.

Noted and I will take the chance. Thanks for the comment.

OP, no matter how secure it "feels", it is not designed to hold up to the massive forces applied in an accident. No matter how good the harness is, it will not help when the harness bar gets ripped off its mountings. You will die, or worse, live and be crippled.

Taking the chance is just plain retarded. Full roll cage with the harness or stock belts. Those are your safe options.

No argument from me! It belongs in a church! It's sweet!:eek:

What we're saying is given an unforseen "accident" your harness will cause more damage to you than what we feel you're expecting. If you are using a 4 point you can potentially slide forward with a tremendous amount of force causing paralysis or an unwanted sex change. Andrew (De.point50) was just telling me about a 5 point harness that has a break away function that is more properly suited for your application. While they are more expensive it's a lot safer

My concern is the fact the bar is mounted to the chassis with a few weakass bolts. I think in an accident the entire bar would become a missile, guided by the harness right into the back of your head. It is not mounted securely.

That is a great point

The stock belts are still there and useable. I just feel far more secure with the harness. There will be no accidents. I have had just two majors both probably
before you were born. Neither were my fault. And I will not have another. Trust me on that. On a motorcycle is another story and I don't ride as I did years ago. My shinny side will remain up and my dirty side shall always remain down. Nonetheless, your comments are appreciated and noted. Us
retards shall always survive, my friend. LOL.
:tup:

4 point with a breakaway. You don't need the breakaway with a 5 point

And if by some unfortunate happenstance, my number comes up and I surfer the consequences, you guys will be the first that I will surely say, "you told me so"! Fair enough??:tiphat:

Ummmmmmmmmm... So... Your car is never leaving your garage? Noted.


What I'm saying is that while the Amuse bar is beautiful, in any sort of accident, you're going to wish you didn't have that thing. It's held in by the OEM mounts and is held in with OEM hardware. And the bar itself is held on the it's mounts WITH HOSE CLAMPS... Oh, and the bar is made out of really thin titanium... So it's going to crumple like the titanium can it is.

One, you don't get to pick when you have accidents. It's not always in your control.

And you have no idea when I was born, so you're talking out your ***. If you're older than I am, you're in your 40s and have no right to be as dumb as your actions seem to suggest.

And any passenger with you is at risk too, since that bar will likely take them out too. It's a sweet piece, it's just for show.

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnnd


/thread

It's not thin titanium, it's reinforced because of the harness bolts. The bar is bolted in. No hose claps allowed! I will be safe. I promise that you will not have to either attend my funeral or visit me in the hospital, ok? LOL Peace out, my Z Brother. I am going home. :hello:

No, I wish I were still in my 40's, if only. I am old enough to be your granddad! My actions are result of being a track racer and far more, my friend. When you are my age, every day is a chance and you take them as they come. :tiphat:

Ummmmmm... It's thin as shít titanium...

That outer titanium uses hose clamps to hold the end pieces...

The end pieces use the OEMS mounts that hold the OEMS bars in...


There is no debate here. Those are the facts...

If you're saying your old enough that you don't give a **** that you die in your car because of your harness bar; no problem. Props to you.


Saying you WON'T get into an accident because you won't let it happen... Full retard :icon14:

Welp, good luck with all that. Don't allow any passengers in your car. That would be negligent and they would have a serious case against you. Or your estate. Unsubscribing.

When you have faced enough things in your life that are truly life threatening and have both learned and know the realities, seat belt harnesses aren't really something that trips the trigger. Accidents are always preventable, if you take the correct actions. In time, you see far more than you can today, my friend.
Stay safe out there and I will always do the same. Take care and I am on the way to the subway, peace...;)

Yep, you're retarded

God I hope you never drive with anyone in the car

well this really heated up. I can tell you that I have the exact same brace bar and intended to use it as a harness bar as well, however after receiving it I decided against it for the exact reasons highlighted above. OP you do whatever you want, but you cant argue the fact that it would be unsafe to use it as you intend.

Fear not, I will save a seat just for you!! SMH & LOL

Oh, he's arguing... Because he evidently got into some really bad car accidents which left him brain dead

No heat at all, at least not on my side! Everyone is surely entitled to make their own choice. This was mine and I am more than satisfied with it. You
must make your own choice accordingly. Your ride and clearly your own call.
I knew what my plan was and I stuck with it from start to finish. My last car
(3000-GT) had a harness installed and I wanted another one. The Amuse bar
made it possible. So there it is. Hope that you are pleased with yours, as well!
Have a better than average evening! ;)

I'm going to hell if there is one, I know that. I have no problem with that.

Not because I was dumb enough to put my life/someone else's life in danger by trusting a fake harness bar

This has been very entertaining!

Surely not I, I am laughing the entire time. I don't have an issue with what I decided to do. He does apparently. I guess he's upset that he will have to either visit me in the hospital or come to the funeral? Twitter on the Z Forum, no less!! ROFL & CGU

Wow, you are really becoming upset over this. Geesh, it's not that deep, at least not for me! Chill, take a deep breathe, relax, take a drink, get a smoke
or something...
