Question Are there any other JDM harnesses besides Takata?

Are there any other JDM harnesses besides Takata? I don't like the green, so that is why I am wondering.

nismo had some at one time.
sparco is euro, not JDM
Takata's are really the only ones made in Japan that actually have a racing heritage to their name. Although takatas are not approved for some other leagues in europe or USA, they're widely used in Japan's racing circuits.

Takata has full FIA approval, so they are legal for use in any sanctioned event that runs FIA rules (every one I've ever been to)

No black, just the green

Takata's come in colors other than green!!!!!
Takata is one of the largest manufacturers for seat belts worldwide. I put a Takata belt in a Durango the other day, it was tan,........hahahahaha
IIRC my 95 Honda civic dx coupe had Takata belts in it.

**** i just went and looked....My Z has Takata's. 3 point in "custom" black...hahahaha
look at the very bottom of the tag located where the belt fastens to the inside of the door frame. at the bottom of the tag it says Manufactured by : Takata.

BTW I am surprised no one has asked so i will...
Does your vehicle have a cage?? if you are putting the harness's in without a cage you are asking fro trouble. I understand wanting all the cool JDM pieces, but 5 point harness's should only be used with cage that has a full halo around the driver's head. if your car rolls over, the harness will hold you in place and your head/spine will take all the impact of the roof colapsing. a normal 3 point belt lets your body move to the middle of the car away from the crunching in roof.
You can do what you want, but is having $600 worth of belts in the car worth the risk of never walking again or dying??

TeamTech harnesses. Not JDM, made in the good old USA, but a lot of JDM people rock them. Team Orange and Ken Nomura to name a few. And they come in different colors. If I didn't have Takatas I would rock these. http://www.teamtechmotorsports.com/index.html

Why not just get the exact same quality from a local company and support your economy? G-Force is better quality than Takata and not ugly *** green.
