For clarifications! one harness for the driver side and another one can be used for the passenger side, not two for driver and another two for passanger.

After a SAU member brought to my intention in regards of harnesses validaty after the year stated on the harness, I decided to do more research to clarify what I know w/ respect to the Cams Rules & Regulations and FIA interpretation. In addition, I've contacted two professional national track participants, and they also confirmed what I am going to share w/ you shortly. Furthermore, I surfacely touched the ADRPG rules regarding the harnesses requirements on the tracks. At the end of the day, all sites I visited refer back to the Cams rules.

Briefly, Takata has stated on the harnesses I have "Not Valid after 2010." Based on the Cams rules, the harnesses are still good for use in any events (except of international ones) until 31st of Dec 2015 but after being inspected by event organisers/inpectors. The inspectors usually look for worn harnesses, damaged latches, etc... As long as the harnesses are not torn, not damaged, have working latches, all stitches there, etc..., the harnesses are good to go for the event.

Even after 31st of Dec 2015, you still can use them outside of the track for your show car if you like.

I am attaching a couple of documents to show you what I found in Cams and also from other sites. In these documents, I've circled and underlined key points of the matter. You can also look into it as well if interested and let me know if I missed anything.

As I said before, the harnesses were hardly used, not brand new, genuine, and they do not show any signs of wear, tear, damage, etc... If you want to buy a brand-new genuine Takata harnesses (dated 2015 and above), expect to spend around $600 dollars or more for each set.

Hope this clarifies it.

Thanks,

Lou

Got tired of accepting offers and then people do not bother responding. If you are not up to it, please do not waste my time. Thanks.

Should have an accurate description of what is being recieved. Not waiting

for an offer to be made then adding "by the way these wont be included".

Also after checking progress of recent sales, accuracy of other item descriptions (misleading information on Recaro seats) and previous sales history Im no longer confident in transferring funds. I cant be the only trader with these views, evidence being the difficulty you are having selling items and constant questions of authenticity.

Please do not waste my time. Thanks

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
