Default Harness Bar?

Is the rear bar strong enough to support a harness? I do remember some Q&A from 350Z, but no sure that the 370Z bar is made for that. I am not a street racer or track racing guy. I seldom go over 100mph. Any assistance is greatly appreciate.

NO! It's pretty flimsy. It's pretty much just bolted to the sheet metal. If you use it to mount harnesses and get into an accident, you're going to be all ****** up, if not dead.

DEFINITELY NOT! You cannot use the stock seats either.

If you want harnesses, take a look at this

As per Chuck33079, no. That bar was designed for axial loads and will fold when subjected to lateral loads.
