GB: 5/6 Point Racing Harness $375


Recommended Posts

Due to the unsuccessful result, from the previous attempt (organized by another SAU member), I have decided to source my own supplier.

Meridian Motorsport has two brands that fit our requirements one is SPARCO the other is ERG. The Sparco belts are just under $500ea, if we were to buy 10+. The ERG harness is $375ea for a group buy of 10+.

Now, I have personally seen both items side by side and apart from the logo there is NO difference. The belt buckles and length adjusters are identical and appear to be supplied by the same manufacturer. The only difference is that the Sparco release buckle is anodized and the ERG buckle is powder-coated/painted. Straps are of the same thickness (3") and material.

Tobby (sales rep.) has stated that he sells at least twice as many of the ERG harnesses and has not yet had a bad response.

These come in 3 colours; Black, Red, and Blue.

THEY ARE FIA APPROVED

Unfortunately I am unable to locate ERC's web site and Meridian seem to have no pictures of either harness on their web site. But I have scanned a couple of pictures from the Sparco catalogue.

Just found out that these belts retail for about $440ea so $65 bux is a pretty good saving.

Please post your interest below and include colour

ahh bummer ;) u should have went water skiing or something while u were there :(

anyways let me know... ive got money burning a hole in my pocket :D need to offload it b4 i spend it on somethin else :(

I'll be in for one in black assuming you can get the money I have allready paid for the origional ones

As stated previously, just e-mail Paul, i too am waiting for my money to be transfered back into my account.

Unfortunately i have nothing to do with the other buy and money involved.

  • 2 weeks later...

Due to the lack of interest i am stopping this GB :rofl:.

But Maridian Motorsport have offered to sell these harnesses for $399 (usually $440). So if you want one just call Tobby, at Meridian(Tele: 9553 4200), and mention you are from SAU. If you are not sure how to describe the harness just say "the one Alan was organising for the SAU group buy".

All the best

Alan

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
