Few things,
1. Safety for US and JP is different. Safety that passes in JP doesn't mean it'll pass in US (& vice versa)
2. Griffon 86 is made by TRD JP and purpose was testing the limit of 86 and get fastest 86 time (back then) in Tsukuba. Which they clocked 58.407... which is 5 secs faster than Rev's 86.
Yes, I understand that, it's not proper setup for the harness. My guess is when SH took the photo of Griffon, they weren't complete, so they just put it on for the show and actual race day, they had the harness in correct setup... but I'm just guessing.
& jic if you haven't seen it, here's the vid of Griffon 86. First test, they clocked 1 min 1 sec
