hey guys,

did a search and couldnt find a topic on this anywhere,

i thought i would give u a heads up about fake takata racing harnesses on ebay, we have just bought a harness and it turned out to be fake so we are reporting it to ebay,

ways you can tell if its fake, 7 cross stitches instead of 4, takata corporation on the belt, im pretty sure well at least with late model 1's that it will only have TAKATA no corporation after/under it, the release button, on the fake it will have 3 allen key bolts, real 1 is smooth with no bolts, most fakes will expire in 2010 aswell,

Bit of trivia... Takata were the first in the world to introduce the 5 point harness to racing in 1965...

Too many crew flying through windscreens and whatnot in that day...

There is only one guy selling them on Ebay, 'driftinsider' is the name of the seller, he reckons he got his stock from UP GARAGE in Japan and theyre genuine. If theyre fake and not old stock made before the TAKATA range update in early 2006, then theyre pretty good fake copies.

TAKATA had a product update in 2006 and how do we know that these so-called fakes arent left overs that seem to be expiring soon so theyre getting rid of them cheap ?

Im not sure myself so Ive reported it to Ebay as well. Im claimin it under 'Item recieved is different to one shown in listing' as the one he sent me has 'Corporation' under it and the one in the listing's pic with the naked girl hasnt.

BE AWARE! www.Performance-wise.com sells fake Takata Harnesses!!! They advertise for $340 +postage and so I bought one from them and it arrived yesterday and when I opened it up I thought it didnt look right, so I done a search on these forums and checked on yahoo and sure enough I have all of the tell tale signs of a fake!!! :)

  • Seven stitching instead of four
  • "Takata Corporation" instead of only "TAKATA"
  • Expires in 2010
  • Has the three small black allen key bolts on the release

So everyone/anyone, DO NOT buy the Takata Harnesses from www.Performance-wise.com!!! They are fake and come from Hong Kong!

I have already emailed Paul from performance-wise but no reply! Surprise, surprise!!! :cool:

Cheers,

Ebay is not good for anything anymore...You can't sell stuff without some tosser scammer trying to buy goods with stolen info, and buying is not any better with knockoff parts flooding the market place...Thanks for the info!

I know Performance-wise's response, and your agreement were lost in the forum crash....so to clarify when you bought it to their attention you received a full refund. I think its very possible for a trader to not be aware one of the products they were supplied is false, and all they could ever do is put it right when it is brought to their attention.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
