The "Look what I made/installed/modified today" thread.
I usually only have the racing seat in for track days, then I pull out the passenger seat and rear seat too. Could still fit people in the back with the bar but it'll come off when I go back to DD mode.
Materials were about $90. Main bar is 1.25" x .120 DOM . I sourced the struts from A circle track supplies site, they are swedge arms off a sprint car. The end brackets I bent from some 2" x 1/8" strap (made a jig for my shop press out of some 1/4" plate and some angle). Then welded it all up. followed the SCCA Harness bar reqs.
I needed the bar to be able to run the seat in the Extreme Speed 350z Competition Cup

I'll try to remember to get some shots of the mounts when I take it off, I'd have to remove the panel. The the lower strut heim joint is bolted to the lower seat belt mounting point. I have this pic, didn't want to post it because it shows how bad a welder I am...
where did you mount it at inside the panel ? did you bend the metal at the ends ?
no one cares how bad you are at welding as long as it holds up if you crash .thats all that counts man

Haha, I would not offer to do anyone's. I'm a Software Engineer so I don't really get a chance to keep my welding skills up. I do know how to get the heat range right though and my welds are strong just not pretty...
Recaro sliders with sparco 350z rails. Just sits low because it's made for the 350z.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
New front BBK; 6 pot Wilwood Superlite calipers, 14" 2 piece Wilwood rotors, and stainless steel lines. 
Will get better pictures on the car when I can get it out of the garage. We broke a bleeder on the passenger side and I think I might have to order one from Wilwood direct. Until then the car's not going anywhere.
