G-Force 5/6pt Harnesses?

[gandrade1]

Hi guys,

Considering getting 6-point harnesses installed and came across some with decent price.

Has anyone had any experience with these G Force Harnesses?

Is there any significant difference between these and let us say Schroth?

All the best,

Gus

I use a G-force 5 point harness in my 986S track car with Sparco seats and a HANS device. I see a lot of G force at the track. They are reputable. I've been happy with it.

One more item on this. I do wish I hade gotten the option to tension the lap belt belt by pulling "in" versus pulling "out". Follow what I mean?? In my configuration, the buckles are in a slightly awkward place and it is hard to tighten by pulling the belt "out". I set them where I want them, and the Sparco seat is on sliders, so I buckle the lap, and then slide the seat forward to the proper tension, so it is no big deal.

G Force products are SFI rated and manufactured in Asia for a low cost alternative to higher priced equipment. There is nothing wrong with their products as compared to Sparco, Simpson, Schroth, etc.

Even our local supplier (Northstar Motorsports) offers the products as a budget item for racers and DE participants.

Thank you so much, guys...

Will follow this route..Not feeling like spending $700 on a pair of harnesses!

I have not had any oil starvation problems... so, that means I really s*ck on the track :)

When you say deep sump, you mean the pan depth extender, like what BK sells, or a system like the Mantis Sport deal?

I have an X51 baffle, which I think makes a positive difference.

Oh sorry. Just saw you are in Italy. In case these companies are not familiar to you - BK is Brey Krause - you will see what they have online at bkauto.com and Mantis is a canadian speed shop that has developed sumps for the Cayman that are longer that the factory ones.

Hello Eric, yes i've installed the BK deep sump, i also add a spacer for pick up the tube down as well as the sump.

in the photo you can see what happen during this left hard corner (it occur when i run over 100km/h at the end of the corner, consider that i use Toyo R888 and bilstein PSS9), the motor lose power and a lot of smoke for some seconds fortunately with no damage.

It happens only in this corner and in this circuit, in other circuits i've never occured in this, but this is my preferred circuit and i really like to solve this problem.

This is a limitation of the stock AOS on the track. For some reason, on the exit of left handers, when you stand on the throttle, it sucks in the oil. The Porsche Motorsports AOS will solve it.

You must be pretty experienced on the track. Haven't seen it happen except with drivers that have some experience and skill.

Many thanks Eric, tomorrow i will buy the motorsport AOS!!!! next month i will test on this track again and i'll report

That fits - a left hander, after hard braking, then hard on the gas on exit -- and then a giant puff of smoke.

Mugello lloks like a good track for a 986. Nice driving.
