Do you have receipt and condition of harness

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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
