Under most circumstances I wouldn't need help with this, but... I bought a car online. The car is being shipped to me with no seat belts at all, but it does have a roll cage. When I pick up the car from the dealer that its being shipped to, I'll HAVE to install the 5 point harness before I can drive off with the car.

So I have a harness (G Force 5 point from Jegs). Assuming that there are no seatbelt bolts in the car (or seat belts) what will I need to bring with me to install the harness.

I think the rear straps will tie around to the harness bar on the car? Or do they need to bolt in to the harness bar somehow?

For the front 2 straps, what will I need? Normall on the 240 (s14) is there a bolt on one side that holds the receptacle in to place next to the center console? If so, I can just buy that bold from Nissan and use it with the harness?

What about the other side (next to the door)?

Here's the harness I bought:

G-FORCE 7000RD G-FORCE Pro Series Camlock Harnesses (http://www.jegs.com/i/G-FORCE/471/7000RD/10002/-1?parentProductId=758245)

Thanks in advance for your help. I know this is a pretty simple install, I just need to be prepared when I show up to pick up the car. And I live an hour away, so driving back and forth to go home for more tools, bolts, etc isn't an smart option.

The harness should wrap around the bar in the back. As for the other two mounting points, one should be mounted where the seat belt buckle should have been and the other will require a bolt over near the door seal. You should be able to get the bolts directly from the stealership or from a local hardware store.

is there already a hole for that bolt, or will I need to drill and tap one? if there's already a hole there, what's it for?

There is already a hole there. If I am not mistaken it is where the stock seatbelt would roll up into. We just put harnesses in my friends s13 and didnt have to drill one hole. As long as you have the bolts you will be fine.
