How do you spot fake Takata harness?
 

Can anybody help enlighten me, please, about to dump $440 for 2 used sets.
Thanks

with that money you can get some Willans which are used on many things more likely to kill you

Yeah, true but I like green on black.

Color over safety any day! :facepalm:

The fake ones will say "fake" on the back.

Me too, prefer safty over color anyday but isn't Takata one of the best harness brand out there? I mean if I can get 2 sets for 1/2 the price of new ones then, why not!

Why not? Because they're fake.

Are Takatas FIA approved? Look for the homologation tags.

because you can get something cheaper that works just as well. And if you race FIA homologated parts are set to expire. Also the seat belts in my 240sx were made by Takata, whats the big deal?

If you're just going to have a break down if you don't get green, get black Willans and green pads.

Real ones are FIA approved but it's not my main concern because I'm not looking forward to compete in any event. It's just in case that if I need to have it for track fun and like I said green would look nice with the seats I have.

Good to know that you value looks over safety. Be sure to tell any instructor who offers to ride with you that your harnesses are eBay fakes with no certifications at all - I'm sure they'll be chomping at the bit to ride in your car.

They're goddamn seatbelts, dude. You don't buy cheap, fake seatbelts. Get a set of used SFI-rated G-Force camlocks and shelve the JDM "BUT I LIKE GREEN" crap.

Can anybody help with the info I need?

Whoops. Sorry, man. I mis-read what you wrote as you not caring about the FIA ratings, only about the harness color.

You should be able to spot fakes by their price and lack of homologation tags. Let me snap photos of my Willans and Schroth tags.

You have the info you need... you're just not listening. There's NO definitive way to tell if they're fakes or not. Anyone going to the trouble to make fake belts could just as easily make fake FIA/SFI tags too.

Bottom Line...

FUCK THE COLOR BUY GOOD BELTS FROM A KNOWN DEALER IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE. It's really that simple.

P.S. anyone who pays $440 for USED belts need to send me money because they have wayyyyy too much.

True, but the locations and such would probably be different (or at least how they attach). The Chinese are good, but not that good. ;)

Damn, don't mean to to tick anyone off with the JDM "I like GEEEN" stuff, just looking for the info I need, that's all Sav.

To tell you the truth, we don't care much. Because if you are hell bent on form>function then we may not have to read your posts much longer. Not trying to be mean, just putting things in perspective...

Well since it is so important to kill yourself, I found this for you. The first damn picture on google when I searched for "fake takata harness". Looks like the most obvious difference.

PS, good luck being dead.

My bad, thought I'm in CR.net.
Damn, this whisky's good.

Now you know. Do you need the link? I can paste it for ya! ;)

Thanks for your help NA6C

By the way. Wesco, HPI, Corbeau and I'm sure many others produce harnesses in Green. All can be had for under $200 a set brand new. Some well under. New harnesses will have new fia certs. Note that some clubs for track days will require you to have current certification. The used takatas, if they are genuine, are likely for sale as they are out of date.

Kill yourself, ------.

TAKATA nigga!!!!

You goddamn fool!

Its TAKATA

simpson > most


but you're a dumb ------ and I hope you die. Seriously, I will take pleasure in your death. We need to thin the herd, and you're a good piece of trash to start with.

An honor for your posts, Mr. Husler.
Killing myself my ------self every time I see your avartar, cheers.

Oh shit. That shade of green clashes with my BRG. I better go with some other fanboy shit.

One day asking "do you want fries with that" will add up to enough money for an ABSURDflow pack...but you'll have to get in line and they healthy delay at that point will probably exceed your pathetic life-span. Just cut the fat and kill yourself now, virgin.

Whats more fanboy than Takata? Nothing else holds a JDM candle to them.

I'd like to be ballin' with harnesses made from gold thread and covered with diamonds! Nothing stronger than diamonds!

When I was driving through OKC I saw some fag with a hat on sideways in a wife-beater,in a white civic hatch with a Takata harness...leaning forward to make sure he didn't scratch his fake Volks on the curb with a loose harness...I then shit stomped his skull when he apparently tried to race me. What a ------.

You should drive down the street wtih a HANS...that would be baller. ll the racecar drivers are doing it.

Sure it wasn't a visor and matching striped polo with popped collar? God I hate those douches. The good news, if they have a wreck they will hopefully die from spinal injury. I hope when they die the release their bowels and ruin anything salvageable from the car.

Seriously though, we all know ultimate safety is in ejection seats.

Kindda late tothe party, Mr. Hustler, I dont think there's audience.

STFU and die...literally. Hopefully the car lives through your shameful death so someone can do right by your car.


...Oh, there's an audience. There's a reason that 50% of this forum quotes me in their sig. Maybe one day if your balls drop and you produce test for the first time in your life you'll understand.

Speak that way again and he will be sure you aren't late to your death!

Sir, you like my car?, sounded like you do

:laugh: You're even funnier when I'm really wasted.

Crickets chirping!

what hustler is trying to say is that somebody could really use your car. They would make it their bitch, tearing out dashes and gauge hoods without even unbolting the fasteners just to get to electric motors and to find rubber grommets in the fire wall. After that they would open the hood past its recommended distance bending the hinges and breaking your plastic in front of the windshield. They would then move the Frankenstein bolts a hole back and open your trunk lid just to scratch two little paint chips into your trunk lid.

What's with wanting Takatas? I've seen guys here with Brides, Spacos, CFs, and many others SHITS way more FUCKING $$$ in thier Miatas.
Why?
OH SHIT, cuz I posted, asking for stupid infos.

here, nobody wants your damn miata anyways

Takata Racing Harness Belts

Nothing is wrong with wanting Takata belts. I'm sure they are nice belts. What you're catching shit for right now is not caring whether they are fake or not.

Good lord!, people.
F' Takata then, I'm using stocks.

Wait I thought he did care if they were fake? Isnt that why he made the thread in the first place? To not get fake ones? Hell I'd like Takatas too! They are good belts.

Are they better than any of the domestic belts used in just about all pro-racing here in USA land?

you posted like a stupid ------ who didn't check google first. obviously it's hard to type with a dick in each hand, but get used to it.

shut up, ------. We'll do the talking, white ass bitch.

Hus.-do you wake up and yell at your cereal?:giggle:
-G-

Hustler doesn't eat cereal...but he DID just wake up and call his BREAKFAST a "white ass bitch" before devouring it.

i think what everyone is saying whitena is that a) you should have done a little research before posting and b) why would you pay for harnesses that are used and probly out of date when you can buy new ones in any color you want that are half the price.

OP...

I have spent two seasons looking for "nice" harnesses on the cheap.

If I could go back I would have just sacked up and gotten (2) brand fucking new G-Force latch locks for $140....super cheap and easy.

G-Force*Pro 5PT JR Latch & Link 2" Harness*-*SafeRacer


Or, if you have a little more to spend, go for 6-points, 3" webbing and cam-lock.

5 Pt Junior Racer Camlock Individual Harness Set


I've seen (and debated buying) single used Takacraps for the price of a pair of new top of the line G-Forces. Buying new means you're safer...regardless. You never know if someone spilled coke on a harness (seriously affecting integrity of fibers) and just cleaned it up well. You also get current SFI ratings for when you go on track.

AND YOU GET 2 OF THEM!

Fuck color matching...go for a god damn matching PAIR of harness you can trust your life with.

And he eats it out of a Noob skull cap,in their own mothers milk:laugh:
-G-

Buying a used harness from a shady vendor on ebay has to be the best idea I've heard in my life. We know you'll never be on the track though, so I guess its not that big of a deal. Hopefully you break your face on the steering wheel.

Buying a used harness from Sav is ok though.. he's not shady.

Plus they weren't green... ewww :skid:
