S14 belts in S13, B pilalr plastic WILD! show me!

[Brian]

hey, dudes.

you guys that have done the s14 seatbelt swap into a s13, can you please show me what you did with your plastic B pillar stuff.

I hate how mine came out.

I want to see how you guys did yours all sick.

[kuruptR]

you should pick up all the canadian plastics for the conversion

[Brian]

Yes yes, that would be nice, but I am looking for SLIM to NO price on this.

Do I have to get a longer bolt and "spacers" too?

[lflkajfj12123]

pics of yours?

[Brian]

oh, I don't think I have any right now.

I am embarrassed also.

[MrMcgarrett]

I used a Z32 upper mounting bolt and added two washers equaling about 1/4in.

I made a 3/4in hole under the middle mounting tab on the back of b pillar plastic then shaved off the mounting tab.

Total cost: $0:bigok:

[Brian]

hmm, so with something like that, I am assuming it was created with a longer bolt and some spacers.

I guess that's what I should have done.
Shit.

[Brian]

Mr. Mike McGarrett.

Can you get me some of those bolts?

and... maybe some new B pillar plastics?

:)

[Brian]

Upon closer inspection, it seems that if I space it out that far, it will be VERY close (if not touching) the main hoop of the cage....

[MrMcgarrett]

Who's Mike? lol

I can get them for you.

[Brian]

Whenever I see your screenname, I imagine lots of "M" sounds, so I figured Mr. Michael McGarrett would be a funny name.

[vespaman]

i did this on my car.

then you should get some door welt and cut it down to go around the edges of the hole area then it would look very close to original JDM

[Brian]

That's SORT of like how mine is...

[Rapier46]

whats the point of s14 belts into an s13.... Do the american s13 have those gay fucking seatbelts that are automatic or whatever? If so, american fail lol.

[lflkajfj12123]

yes

i love mine

sometimes

[ericcastro]

yeah, auto crap.

I need S14 belts really bad too.

Its actually next on my list as well.

[Rapier46]

1. Go to auto wrecker
2. get seatbelts of right color, and the clicky thing the seatbelt goes into. From ANY VEHICLE.
3. Bet the correct thread bolt, and bolt that shit on, then deal with the plastic. You don't need s14 seatbelts...take them off any vehicle.

[s13tilldeath*]

Thinking of doing this later.

Not really at the top of my needs at the moment.

Plus im lazy. haha

[Brian]

I don't understand some of the discussion here.


on topic of "gtfo"

[jackal264]

do you want me to take a pic of my hardware? i just pulled all the interior out of my s14 for a cage. i can show you excactly what the bolt setup looks like if you want but i'll have to take the pic tomorrow. but basically they just use spacers from the factory about 10mm (yes very big)

[CrimsonRockett]

JDM Pillars and Headliner or just cut a hole.

Hmm.

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

I herd that you can use prelud seat belts insted of s14 belts

[2iv0 sx]

Never understood the automatic seat belts..

Took my sweet ass time to cut these holes!

180sx seat belts

[DALAZ_68]

dammit B u should have told me...i just threw away my pillars when i gutted the car lol

McGarrett looks clean all they need it the cover and blam

[projectRDM]

Sentra belts work fine too, but you do need longer bolts with any belt you use since the panel is so far away from the chassis. I just buy them at the hardware store when I've done the swap for people.

[Brian]

FYI - I already have belts. That is not the issue.

I was just wondering how some of you may have modified your USA B pillar plastics.

:)

[ANVIL]

man ive been meaning to do the manual seatbelt conversion for awhile... i always forget for some reason. probablly because i dont drive the 240 much. how much are CDN plastics anyone know?

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

Brian,
I have a piece that that will make the cutout a little cleaner. But it depends on how much material/shape you cut off. I'll try to take a pic tonight, just have to find it lol.

Oh yea, and I have this still waiting for you........

what year sentra?

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk80/JN1RMS13/PIC-0117.jpg

My set up. Sorry for the camera phone pic. Don't have my camera right now.

[Brian]

so, did you also dremel out that little "slot" for the belt to pass through?

[shade]

Yup. Just make it real smooth so the belt can slide back in.

[Brian]

nice.

very nice.

[sliksta1]

heres mine, i will attempt something a little cleaner in the future. but its alright for now. what you think?
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee13/mad654/0415091417a.jpg?t=1239827240

[Brian]

that pretty much looks like mine.

[DALAZ_68]

what year sentra? 95 is the answer i do believe...

so, did you also dremel out that little "slot" for the belt to pass through?
yup yup


ive done nice dremel work for friends and there shit...im just lazy with my own and left the panels off...my belts are for sale...need harness

[soreballz]

My Sentra belts came out of a B12 (late 80s super boxy looking piece of shit).

[INeedNewTires]

Upon closer inspection, it seems that if I space it out that far, it will be VERY close (if not touching) the main hoop of the cage....

why belts with a cage? just get harnesses, no?

[ms!3]

Wouldn't spacers and extended studs be weaker? Wouldn't want my belt to rip off the car in a wreck. Maybe I'm off, just a thought.

I know for a fact eclipse, s12, and protege belts work. Don't have to limit yourself to just s14 belts.

[Brian]

harnesses...... HAHAH.

fuck THAT.

Those are the worst things I have ever seen.

[MrMcgarrett]

My belts are from a 98 200SX.

^ not so good

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk80/JN1RMS13/PIC-0117.jpg
^ good

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l168/2iv0sx/Pictures001copy.jpg
^ great

i did what the second guy did, back when i had those seatbelts + interior. i ditched all that shit, rollbar and schroth rallye cross harnesses.

when i ran s14 belts, i made a hole, longer bolt, spacer, and cover. worked like a charm.

[neverrain]

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l168/2iv0sx/Pictures001copy.jpg
^ great



I want more info on this. What did you use to line that hole? Looks like some kind of plastic insert? I've been holding off putting mine back on because I didn't want to cut a hole and miss, then have to replace them.

EDIT - Also, from what I read around on the internet when I did this swap in my coupe (god the auto belts suck. I remember mine catching passengers and getting them stuck lol), almost all Honda belts will work in the s13. Go find an old mid 90s civic, there was a billion of around.

[Johny5]

wow, this thread is WIILLLLLLLD! subscribed!

[iMAGE976]

i like this thread, i wanna see more of what people actually did to their pillars....

[iMAGE976]

Brian, do you have any pics of the cage in there with your seatbelt set up?

[Brian]

no.

I might take a photo today.

I hate it though.

[sliksta1]

heres mine, i will attempt something a little cleaner in the future. but its alright for now. what you think?

redo. it came out much nicer than the way i had it before.
so what route did you take on your belts brian?

[Brian]

haven't done shit.
lol

[Style]

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk80/JN1RMS13/PIC-0117.jpg
what seat belts are these?


http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l168/2iv0sx/Pictures001copy.jpg
again what seat belt are these? did the trim come with the belts?

[Style]

ok edit, went back and see that the second picture has 180sx seat belts, so i assume that it comes with the trim

[DCP94]

as long as the sentra seatbelts aren't adjustable then they fit in an s13

[FaLKoN240]

I remember when my auto belts used to get stuck and TIGHTEN on my chest, I HATED that.

[drift freaq]

ok edit, went back and see that the second picture has 180sx seat belts, so i assume that it comes with the trim

They do and the idea is not so much to get them with the whole b pillar but the b pillar trim. A lot of guys in Canada don't want to try and ship the whole b pillar because they are lazy.

If you can get them to ship you that trim piece? Then you can modify your USDM b pillar.

[gregfarz78]

So pretty much any seat belt will fit from a newer nissan? Everyone wants a mint for s14 seats belts like they're made of gold or something I can't find a set under $100

[Slammed180]

Damn Canadians.

[silviaguy240]

you can get a whole brand new seat belt setup for $260

[DCP94]

when i had auto belts my girl would always try to pull the strap over her head before she opened the door lol and it would always choke her...she finally learned her lesson..that was my way at getting back at her when she made me mad

[Matej]

Q45 belts fit perfectly.

No need for any spacers or extended bolts. Way better than S14 belts.

I like the stock automatic ones though, for that futuristic technology of the 80s feel.

[iMAGE976]

dude you're not looking hard enough, i just got mine for 40 bucks...both passanger and driver side.

[shade]

They are S14 seat belts. You could practically use any seat belt as long as you can modify the bracket to bolt on. Then again, I wouldn't want to rely on something hacked up for my safety.

[FaLKoN240]

My girlfriend used to do that shit in my G20, she finally stopped doing that. AUTO BELTS BLEH.

The last car I owned that didn't have auto belts was like 6 years ago... :-/ FML.

[Bushido]

i like auto belts, even though my driver side doesn't work.

when i was in canada, everyone thought it was the wildest thing, fyi the gov't never allowed em in can.

[Slammed180]

Wonder why that was?

[usdm180sx]
