Both items are in the works. How many would be interested in either of the two items.

Powerbrace: would consist of fully boxed tension rod brackets with the cross bar just like a nismo unit offered for the 13/14 chassis. Increases rigidity in the front suspension and overall cornering. This coupled with t3 tension rods would be a solid setup at a reasonable price.

C-pillar bar- there are mounting holes for a three point harness seatbelt system on our cars behind the trim on the c pillar.. as most of you know US spec cars dont have this option, it was applied elsewhere, where the car was offered so we are coming up with a c-pillar bar that would fit this location which is actually pretty optimal.

Serious inquiries email: [email removed]

Photos of both completed and installed items should be avail within the next few weeks.

C-pillar brace, kinda like what I've done here?

Seems everyone kinda poo-pooed my idea, but you'll probably have better luck. I've noticed a difference in chassis rigidity with it.

Are you sure it's for a 3 point? Because OEM seat belts are 3 point.

Is it for a 4 point?
Also, yes on the harness bar. If it was a bolt in affair like a Sparco, I could see that selling fairly well.

3 point in the rear? I've yet to see an S12 that actually uses the upper mount in the rear, in the US anyway.

No us s12 used upper mounts its a canadian.and austraila thing.

And yes the power brace will mimick Vegas s12 design I saw it ans fell in love with it.

Okay, So I'm confused. Is this to upgrade the rear seat's seat belts to a 3 point instead of the 2 point lap belt?

seishukuNov 23, 2011, 2:17 pm · #9

No, it's making use of those points for a cross brace like I made

Me likey. But I'm a price sensitive consumer. I'll be lurking :)

nismo_200sxNov 23, 2011, 2:54 pm · #11

Something else you guys might look into making

Seat belt locks, somewhat like what CG-Locks makes.
Even though they're super simple to make, they're really effective at keeping you planted in your seat with out going with a full harness... I made mine for like $3, though I had the bolts/nuts/washers already.

lol that reminds me... Someone should make S12 specific limiting straps cause im too lazy hahah

VG33ERGazelle?Dec 2, 2011, 11:09 pm · #16

I could be down for a powerbrace. the difference the Nismo one made in my s13 was rather impressive, I could go for sturdiness like that in the twelve

Yes and Yes on both! You never posted a finish product.... Don't know what happened, seems like a great idea
