S13 manual seatbelt conversions

[bing]

good day all,

i have 3 S13 manual seatbelt conversions.

they include the belts, a-pillars, and b-pillars.

two conversions are dark grey / black, and one is dark blue.

one of the grey conversions is missing the a b-pillar, i will likely part out this set. one of the blue b-pillars got cracked slightly when i removed it.

all prices are + shipping
on the last full conversions i sold UPS charged me $100 to ship these friggin things due to size or course.

$125 for full conversion + shipping, the price might be negotiable if there is insufficient demand. i would like to offer them as full conversions first.

i notified the guys who inquired about my last conversions.

i accept paypal.

here are pics:

regarding the pics, all funds received for these conversions are going towards a half decent camera, i know mine is horrible.

yes my garage is full of 240 parts, but nothing else for sale now, i am not allowed to pick up another parts car right now... lol the last few were messy.

[sr_sil80]

I'd prefer the gray, but since it's incomplete, most likely i'll take the black. Can you check how much shipping would be through FED EX, my understanding is that it will be a lot cheaper. I'm don't have the car on me, and will need to check the interior first though. Email me at [email protected]
thanks

[hey808]

Would you part with just the panels, not the belts? I'm interested specifically in the grey ones.

[bing]

if i cna part out the panels in a way that makes it equal or beneficial for me i will do it.

i havent received any payment yet because i have to get a couple quotes, but there has been alot of interest thus far.

the two grey / black ones are a dark grey, but they arent really black. and they are not as light grey as the interior of my coupe.just so you guys know the colour, i dont want to ship dark grey and have you be expecting jet black.

pm me with offers on the pillars and stuff.

[bing]

i dont know any local FED EX place.

i have used canada post because they are usually cheaper than UPs but you cannot track their shipments outside of canada, so it is kind of frustrating. i had to call to get updates on prior packages sent to cali etc.

i went into UPs today and chatted it up with the guy there.

there is a way that i can save on shipping, i have to ship the a-pillars seperately and send as a mulit-package shipment.

i can wrap the a-pillars together, they should be fine, and box the rest.

i am 99% sure i can do $170 shipped for the whole conversion any where in the continental US. i was expecting to have to ask in the $225 range, so this is quite a big drop.

if you want just pieces pm me, if i can part the whole conversions i will, and there are people interested in just parts as it is.

i accpet paypal

thanks

[bing]

complete grey conversion is SOLD.

grey A-pillars are pending payment

that means i have one complete set with blue panels for sale, and one set of belts only still available.

belts only $70 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

i will be shipping out stuff on monday, so lets get this done before then.

[bing]

thanks to dave and dan for prompt payments,

if anyone wants these belts, or the dark blue conversion or parts of it, let me know ASAP. if i receive payment i can get it all out tomorrow.

ship with UPS, paypal accepted.

[bing]

everything is sold.. thanks to all

[drew935]

let me know when you get another full set in black please. Thanks :cool:

[bobowah]

I'm sad I missed this..

bing when you going to get these again? hehe

I would like a set for a gray black interior..

**EDITED**

[VitaminT]

Just wanted to let everone know that this is a good seller. I got my stuff in record time and everything looks great.

thanks, i try.

i am getting better at shipping that stuff too. the first time was a mess, i should show you the pics of the HUGE box... lol

[bing]

***HEADS UP***

i am going ot be getting a few more sets of seatbelt conversions in the following weeks.

i have 4 people that have confirmed interest. please let me know if you would like one so i can track down a few more.

pm is best....

thanks

Bing

[brianglawson]

i would be interested in a black one, whole kit for a coupe if it matters, but how much shipped to 24124 VA

[bing]

sorry,

i thought that i had a list of prices in this thread, i guess i dont.

here is what these conversions have been going for:

These prices include shipping to anywhere in the US

$170 complete conversion. both front belts and all 4 pillars
$70 belts only
$65 a-pillars only

now gone through 5-6 full sets, and pretty happy with the results thus far so i plan on continuing to do this.

[bing]

the following pictures are of the most recent lot of seatbelt covnersions.

all pieces are currently spoken for, and awaiting payment. this is just easier than pm'ing am posting pics over and over again.

if anyone out there is interested, please let me know and i will keep searching for this stuff. it is actually surprisingly difficult to find...lol

there are still a few others that are in line so to speak, but i hope to satisfy all demand within 2 weeks time. it is simply that exams are upon me.

[bing]

just a note,

you can see frm the second picture that the b-pillar panels, particularly the one in the centre, have a little bit of a crack i guess where the seatbelt comes through from behind the panel.

there is a little clip that covers this area, and i try to keep them, but it is WAY TO DIFFICULT to make sure that they remain 100% perfect, this area is simply too fragile. in fact i have broken several of these panels when trying ot remove.

in addition to this, these panels are like this when i find them. you really dont notice this anyways as it is behind you, but there is really nothign i can do to prevent it. some panels are better than others but i cannot guarantee that the one you receive will be 100%.

i apologize for any inconvenience.

**EDIT*** these panels are not cracked all the wya through, there is just a small gap at the heart of the stress point. any that were cracked completely were thrown away.

all the little clips that cover this area slightly are left on the belt harness if they remain intact. most do not. i have 3-4 of the broken ones in my tool box.

[bing]

just a heads up,

some people backed out or have yet to send payment a week or so after agreed upon, and some people i just cant get ahold of anymore.

there is still some stuff available, please let me know what you need.

everything is in dark grey.

i have one set of A-pillars where one side had an fire extinguisher mounted and there are 6 small holes in the panel, iono if anyone here as a fire extinguisher and wouldnt mind the holes being pre-tapped...lol

i would like to get everything shipped out before the weekend please.

thanks

[drew935]

How much are you selling these for? I just bought some off another guy.

[sticky240]

there are a few guys interested.

in the event that two people pay and i cannot accomodate you both i will give you the option of a refund minus paypal fees, or give me two weeks and i will work extra hard to find exatly what you need.

[bing]

grey

$70 shipped

[jy116]

how much for seatbelts only, shipped to 94502?

EDIT: oops, misread.... i see its including shipping... [tried to remove post, wouldn't let me]

[bing]

i still have one set, and i will have another full conversion tomorrow...lemme know if there is any interested.

[jy116]

hey, jus got the belts monday, good service! ~5 biz days. Now i just gotta get em in and Ill let u kno if theres any probs.

Now I have illegally smuggled seatbelts >: )

[phrozen]

interested how much for the set and do u have a black trim set?

[bing]

have a pair of belts and coupe b-pillars and hatch b-pillars.

i still have some hatch a-pillars, but one has holes where a fire extinguisher was mounted on the passenger side pillar. i should have a clean set coming soon as well.

price depends on what you want, and i STILL NEVER SEEN BLACK BELTS... despite what everyone keeps telling me i just dont thikn that they exist. i have had 7 s13's this year and none had black belts.

pm me for any specifics.

you can see from a few people who have left positive feedback that there is no risk here.

You must be reading my mind. I've been meaning to dig up this thread so I can get a set of seatbelts from you for my '92 S13 coupe.

I have brown belts now. Do you have brown manual belts available? Email me [email protected] so we can get this stuff firgured out.

Thanks!
-VA240

[bing]

i did brown belts once, but it wasnt any fun.

i'll see what i can do about the brown's, but grey are soo much easier to get.

if there are 4-5 people that are serious, i can take an afternoon and get my hunt on.

[sultan]

i'd like some belts, no trim needed. gray or dark color preferred.

you can reach me through pm, i'm on zilvia all the time i just never post.

[bing]

i picked up some more stuff in anticipation of a few more guys wanting this gear.

i have 3 sets of manual belts, all in grey, a couple sets of grey a-pillars, and one pair of coupe b-pillars, and one pair of hatch b-pillars.

now, i picked up a spare passenger side a-pillar so i am going to toss out the one that had the fire extinguisher holes in it. also, the b-pillars are very fragile, on the coupe ones there are tabs that tuck behind the c-pillar and have an adhesive to bond the two pillars together.

this tab is partially broken on one side, however it does not affect appearance because it mounts behind. there is still enough room to put some glue on it to bond it to your c-pillar if you wnat, but you dont even really have to.

EVERYTHING IS GREY

[bing]

btw guys,

when shipping to the states i am always shipping UPS and you will get tracking info immediately afterwards.

also, i stay away from unusable stuff, but please keep in mind that these items are not factory new, and as such there may be some wear on them. but everything is in great shape none the less

[VA240]

Do these manual belts relocate the seatlbelt retractor from behind the front seats to someplace else? Maybe relocated into the pillar itself?

Where does the seatbelt retrator mount with these manual seat belts?

[bing]

i dont know anything about the seatbelt retractors, you should be able to completely remove the front seatbelts and replace with these.

havent had a single person ask with any problems installing yet.

[bing]

thanks to matt who has taken a pair of grey belts.

[bing]

thanks to scott for quick payment..

the last set of belts is tentatively spoken for...

i still have a couple sets of a-pillars and some coupe b-pillars.

[VA240]

i dont know anything about the seatbelt retractors, you should be able to completely remove the front seatbelts and replace with these.

havent had a single person ask with any problems installing yet.

I was just confused. I realize now that the retractor behind the front seats on USDM cars is completely removed when converting to the manual belts.

[jy116]

Hey, did the install on my day off... all is good, BUT I tihnk Im missing the B-Pillar bolt washers. I screw it in as far as it can go and theres stil about 3/4 inch left. Mighta fell out the little tear in the box? Use more tape nextime! [Great seller none the less, no probs here]

Its pretty striaghtforward for those looking to do it... I never did anything like it and I got it pretty much.

Could some one post up how they drilled the B-Pillars for the bolt going through? I cant figure out how it should be...
This is all I could find, but doesnt look too clear without the belt in the pic...

[bing]

lol... i gotta ration my tape bro. that is expensive $hit. i use the premium european tape, none of that argentinian waxed plastic....

[bing]

thanks to charles for prompt payment...

all the belts are gone...

i think i have one pair of a-pillars left.

help fund my monster SR fund....WWOOT

[bing]

i just thought i would show you guys this.....

http://bings.ca/images/DSC00465.JPG

i am making custom rear cross bars, fender braces, trunk bars, and OEM silvia rear valances......

the pic is of all the prototypes.

pm me if you have interest, i dont want to start a new thread yet until everything is up and running.

thanks again

[bing]

http://bings.ca/images/DSC00468.JPG

the square tubed fender braces look nicer, but the flat bar is much stronger we have found.

what do you guys think

[VitaminT]

Hey bing...I bought some s13 belts from you a while back. When do you think you will have one of those cross bars for MY s13 done and how much do you think they will go for?

It mounts to the rear upper seatbelt bolts on a S13 hatch right?

[VitaminT]

Nice work BTW.

[bing]

i am sending it out for powder coating...

the install is like 5 minutes, it is best to remove a plastic guard under the drivers side carpet, after that you need only poke a small hole in your carpet for a little nub that tucks into an existing hole in along the floor that prevents the bar from pivoting.

it doesnt quite sit on the floor, it sits about an inch up to avoid the wire harness

just picked all this stuff up today and was VERY pleased... i am not making it myself, i'm working with a custom aluminum / metal shop.

it will definately be under $200 including powder coating so long as you pick an easy colour. mine will be black. i am not sure about shipping costs, or even how i would package it.

[bing]

wait a tic... were you talking about the other bar?

http://bings.ca/images/DSC00466.JPG

that one?

that is a trunk bar, 1 1/4 inch thick i believe.

it is way beefier than the TF bar and i should be able to beat that pricing as well.

we are using opposite threaded heim joints and spacers to mount it to the rear upper frame rails.

i thikn you were thinking it is a c-pillar bar... yes i will be giving those a try, but not until i can build some capital on the existing stuff i have here.

[VitaminT]

Yeah I was thinking of a c-pillar bar. I thought the bar with the hiem joint on it was one, but I guess not.

[bing]

not yet, but eventually we'll make one

[trsilvias13]

anymore conversion availible? email [email protected]

[bing]

not at the moment, i have 1 set of a-pillars and that is all...

i am going to try and get more of this stuff.

the problem is that it is difficult to pay for it in advance when i dont have definate buyers.

would you be willing to pay in advance?

[VA240]

Bing,

I just recently purchased a set of gray belts from you (I'm guessing their being shipped now). Anyways, keep your eyes open for a set of brown belts. If you find a set I'll both those as well, and then just turn around and resell my gray belts.

Thanks for the help,
-VA240

[jy116]

lol... i gotta ration my tape bro. that is expensive $hit. i use the premium european tape, none of that argentinian waxed plastic....

... was that your response to my missing washers question?!

The bolt is too long and just out there, nothing to tighten it onto. Not good enough to save my life in a crash!

O yeh, is this how the B pillar for coupes looks?
http://store3.yimg.com/I/jspec_1799_16342934

i looked back at your other pics and its all hatch B pillars...

[bing]

do you mean a washer on the harness?

the plastic interior panels for both coupe and hatch are mounted with plastic pop-tabs and a couple screws, there are no washers involved as far as i know. the only washers are on the bolts for the harnesses. there are little plastic retainers on the bolts to prevent them from coming off. i dont recall ever having a problem with them. but u may be right.

all the pics are of hatch b-pillars yes. the coupe ones look identical to the USDM pillars except that there is a circular hole where the harness mounts through to the metal.

i have a pair of coupe b-pillars, the ones in your pic are of a hatchback.

[dookie]

Bing, I am interested in a manual seat belt conv for an s13 coupe. Could you give me a quote shipped to Louisiana, 70503? I would like a black interior with grey belts. I can paypal you if you like. My email is [email protected]

[bing]

at this moment i dont have any more belts, all the sets were scooped up quickly.

i'm working all this weekend until the middle of next week, let me try and get my hands on some gear then.

the coupe conversions are slightly less than the $170 shipped for the hatchback conversions simply on account of shipping.

[sultan]

got the belts, they look great

[jy116]

Heres what I meant...

http://img46.photobucket.com/albums/v142/jy116/DSC00988.jpg

It's screwed in as far as it will go. Might look fine right now, but in a crash with forward force on the bolt, that wont be safe... I think the washers might have fallen out of the box in delivery or something... Have any pics of how it looks stock, installed without the interior panel on?

NICE rear valences BTW!

[bing]

yes you are right,

there are supposed to be i think 5 washers of various sizes in there.

i did lose a couple on teh ones i jsut shipped out, but what i did was take them off the rear belts instead. you could do the same.

if that is not feasible i can see if i still have a few lying around and ship them out with a set of rear valances if you like...lol

[sykikchimp]

you should have them cut the cross bar in half, and thread the ends opposite each other, and use a long nut to connect them.

To allow them to be tensioned against the chassis, and to make shipping easier, and cheaper.

[bing]

the cost would go up exponentially that way.

also, i am not the one who is actually designing these items, it's just my money, my ideas and all that stuff.

the shop who is doing it is well-versed in this type of stuff and they advised me that it would nto be worth the additional investment to thread it the way you are suggesting, much like the do-luck bar.

the reason being is that the tension created by tourqing the bar at that point would simply find it's way to the bends in the bar and not all the way to the ends at the car. keep in mind that any tension would first have to travel through 2 bends on each side before reaching the floor.

of course they explained it a different way but i forget all the techno-mumbo

this bar that is pictured was templated out of a rotted out 92. it fit differently in my coupe, but only by a milimeter or so. it gets bolted in tightly as well.

to combat this we are going to add shim plates to add on at the passenger side mount, that way you can still set your own tension sort of.

as for shipping i dont know what it would cost. in that event i would simply bubble-wrap the bar and then newspaper over it and ship it like that. it isnt liek you can break it.

i have a pair of black bars and a hot pink one coming...lol..

when i installed it in my own car along with the trunk bar i did notice a difference for sure, mostly exiting corners.

i took them out yesterday and left them at the shop.

on the way home i noticed a HUGE difference without them. i seriously cant wait to put them back in this weekend.

this is what it looked like after powder coat and install.

SCREW PASSENGER FOOTROOM !!!!

[bing]

btw Jy116, those are seatbelt harness washers on the floor behind my seat in that pic, but i cant find them now...lol.. i'll keep looking.

[VA240]

O yeh, is this how the B pillar for coupes looks?
http://store3.yimg.com/I/jspec_1799_16342934

i looked back at your other pics and its all hatch B pillars...

Bing,

I received my manual belts today. It shouldn't be too tough to make these work.

Also, do you have any coupe b-pillars available? I would consider buying a set of gray/black or brown coupe b-pillars.

Thanks again,
-VA240
edit: I didn't receive any washers with my seatbelts either, but I plan to remove my rear belts. I'll try and use the washers off the rear belts.

[bing]

stupid washers...

thanks for letting me know, i'll have to pay more attention when i remove them.

i do have a set of coupe b-pillars, but it will take me a few days to get pics up

[bing]

i will be buying a 89 240sx with grey interior in the next week so i will have one more conversion....lol

S13 #8 in one year

[VA240]

edit: I didn't receive any washers with my seatbelts either, but I plan to remove my rear belts. I'll try and use the washers off the rear belts.

Actually, I mis-spoke. My belts came with the correct washers for the install.

I installed the manual front belts today, removed the rear belts, and removed all the associated crap that went along with the automatic front belts. I'm amazed at how much junk I pulled out of the car today.

If you are missing the washers for the front belts, use the washers on the rear belts. You don't actually carry people in the back seat, do you?!

One thing I did notice was it seems the passenger side belt buckle is facing the wrong way on the belt. I need to see if I can somehow turn the belt buckle around the belt to be in the correct position.

Thanks again for putting these belt packages together,
-VA240

[bing]

no worries, i just snagged another 89 S13 so i can do one more conversion if anyone is interested

[los]

how much is the conversion? (sorry I came in late)

[bing]

$170 shipped for all 6 pieces,

pair b-pillars
pair a-pillars
pair seatbelt harnesses

[bing]

***************

i have 2 full grey seatbelt conversions ready to go.

the first two guys that deposit funds into my paypal account will have htem shipped out monday or tuesday afternoon... i just have to find appropriate boxes for them.

[trsilvias13]

hey email me please.. [email protected] im interested.. i pm u before. let me know wassup. paypal address n all

[bing]

one of two conversions sold,

thanks jason for prompt payment.

the other is pending..

[jy116]

o hey... YES I DO drive people in my backseat, so taking out the rear belts is not feasible... Not a full track whore/harcore 240 yet... Still have full interior. Running G-Stock autoX. send me a email with what you can do? Thanks! :]

[bing]

from your pic all you are missing is a handful of washers.

u can take washers form your rear belts, and still have them installed, similar to what you have up front now.

i have like 3 washers sitting in a tool box, looks like you will need a few more.. for some reason these belts have like 5-6 washers.

if you cant find any and i can piece together what you need i can stick them in an envelope and ship them to you i guess.

[bing]

currently out of conversions...

thanks to all..

i will be on the look out hard for these, there are 3-4 people who seem to be serious.

i'll keep in touch with all of you

[bing]

picked up another full grey conversion last night...

[super pelvic]

Heres what I meant...


It's screwed in as far as it will go. Might look fine right now, but in a crash with forward force on the bolt, that wont be safe... I think the washers might have fallen out of the box in delivery or something... Have any pics of how it looks stock, installed without the interior panel on?

NICE rear valences BTW!

Is that really as far as the bolt goes into the pillar, it doesn't seem safe even with washers. Is that how the belts are setup in Canada?

[bing]

that are a whole wack of washers and spacers and crap yeah...

iono if it seems safe or not but there hasnt been any recall issues on the tens of thousands of nissans that use this same system.

the last set was sold, i'll have more when i can get my SR n and get some free time.

[Wei240]

wow, haven't check this thread in a long long time,
bing - after months of doing other stuff, i finally installed the seatbelts you sent to me months ago... and i realized you sent me 2 passenger sets (if there is such a thing, but the driver side doesn't look right, need to flip it around, but i don't really care, i'll do that later)... it seems like you have other goodies up your sleeve, cool...
others regarding short bolt - i have no clue why the bolts are that short, mine screwed in all the way, if that bolt is too long, either you didn't screw it in hard enough or go to hardware store and buy shorter ones...

[bing]

let me know if i have anything you like,

shot me an e-mail...

i'll hook you up BRO-shot

[jy116]

hey, found sum more washers off a crashed 300Z TT... might stil need one large diameter washer to keep the other washers from going into the slightly larger diameter hole [before the bolts gets to the threads]... but no biggie.

I hacked away at my B-Pillar thinking the bolt would be long enough to just drill a hole... Now I realized the B-Pillar panel is too far from the B-Pillar! So I started filing a triangle for the whole belt hing, but it looks like CRAP!... can u post a pic of a canadian coupe B-Pillar with the bolt in?

Thanks so much!

[VA240]

Yeah, apparently there are differences between the Canadian b-pillar and USDM pillars. I was looking at another USDM S13 coupe with manual belts and he hacked up his b-pillar to work with the manual belts.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this. I have a feeling that you need not only the Canadian b-pillars, but also the whole side-rear panels that go under the b-pillars.

Either way, I LOVE my manual belts. S14 belts also work BTW!

[AKADriver]

Was the other car you looked at a white '91-'93? If so, I know that car and the previous owner that did the work. It came out surprisingly clean. He was using S14 belts.

You shouldn't need the lower side panels if you use the Canadian coupe b-pillars. They just have to be notched a bit at the top to let the belt pass into them, not totally hacked up.

So what's everyone in this thread doing about headliners? Just living with the gaps or what?

[bing]

i can get headliners i guess, i have a couple already,

but shipping would be murder, heck it alreayd costs too much to ship the 6 - piece conversions

[Wei240]

So what's everyone in this thread doing about headliners? Just living with the gaps or what?
yes, i don't even have time to mod my top pillar mount panel thingy, so even that's bare, looks kinda odd, but i'll drill a hole one of these days...

since the auto belt track is out, i was thinking of fabricating some oh shiit handles, either find some in the junkyard that'll fit or go to good ol' home depot...

[bing]

u guys dont have oh $hit handles on the passenger doors?

[Wei240]

u guys dont have oh $hit handles on the passenger doors?

no, we have crappy auto seatbelt tracks on all s13 usdm, so no handles...

[jy116]

its on the door, not on the top by the window trim where most cars have it...

Hey, VA240 or AKADriver, u guys got any pic of the coupe B-pillar? The only thing I can imagine is to cut a large triangle out so the belt pivot can go "into" the B-pillar. Maybe Im not creative enough?! Pics pleeeeez

[bing]

i'll get you pics when i get my car back

[VA240]

Was the other car you looked at a white '91-'93? If so, I know that car and the previous owner that did the work. It came out surprisingly clean. He was using S14 belts.


Yeah, I looked at that car (actually I almost bought it!). IMO the b-pillars looked ok but not great. I'd rather spend the cash and get a set of b-pillars from bing.

[VA240]

its on the door, not on the top by the window trim where most cars have it...

Hey, VA240 or AKADriver, u guys got any pic of the coupe B-pillar? The only thing I can imagine is to cut a large triangle out so the belt pivot can go "into" the B-pillar. Maybe Im not creative enough?! Pics pleeeeez

My interior is not currently in the car. I removed everything to install the manual belts and to clean the entire interior. I'm not in a rush to reinstall everything, partly because I need to figure out what I'm going to do about the b-pillars.

[VA240]

Another issue I've been thinking about is how the Canadian-spec b-pillars match up with the USDM a-pillars. The US a-pillars sit out a bit to make room for the auto seatbelt tracks. I'm wondering if the US a-pillars would even match up with the Canadian b-pillars. If they don't it means you HAVE to buy the whole conversion from bing OR hack up your existing USDM b-pillars.

even if u buy it all Candian... u'll have the gap up too since their headliners are lower than ours for sum reason... I've searched on that. You should be able to find some pics of a hatch with the canadian panels and a USDM headliner. UGLY.... IMO... so thats y Im looking to mod my USDM B-pillars. The slot for the belt track is less noticeable than the headliner gap.

[bing]

unfortunately i dont have any experience with the USDM ones.


also, it is getting really hard to find these conversions too.

i tried some wreckers but they want ridiculous amounts for them, so it isnt even worth going that route. i'll just have to keep on the look-out harder.

also, i havent had my car for about 4 days and i wont get it back for another 2-3 so that is why i have been slow to find more. i cna usually find a few within 2 weeks, but not when i dont have a reliable (and fun) source of transportation.

my other family vehicles are a wack 4-door civic and a dodge caravan, so driving really isnt very enjoyable these days.

[bing]

JY116...

i have a buddy with coupe pillars that i am getting this weekend hopefully for you.

i still dont have my car back... the SR is being swapped in right now.

sorry for the delay.

i am going to try and have as much stock in the next couple weeks as i can, i want to put some $$$ for a road trip out to colorado to see my buddy and cruise with Westy and the gang...lol

[VA240]

Check out this (http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76106) thread about the manual seatbelt conversion.

I'll be setting my car up like the one in the pic.

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but the spacers he has scare me a bit.

[VA240]

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but the spacers he has scare me a bit.

I thought about that....but even the factory belts use various spacers. I'm more concerned with getting the proper strength bolt to use. I think the rear seatbelt bolts will be long enough.

-VA240

[bing]

yeah dude, that is exactly what they are supposed to look like... sorry i cant get you a pic myself, i still dont have my car back...

the stock bolt has 5-7 spacers/washers on it.

[AKADriver]

I stand corrected!

I like the lower bracket that guy made to adapt the S14 reel to the S13 body.

[jy116]

man... gotta buy another bolt just to have it stick out past the USDM B pillar?!

Screw it... i passed tech at the autoX last Sunday... just had the b-pillar naked. AND Extendind the bolt length means more torque on the bolt/mounting point... Ill let yall kno if I ever figure out a way without having to buy a longer bolt... and pics if you want... someday

[bing]

hey all,

it has been REALLY hard to trakc down more of these conversion pieces for one reason or another.

i do have one set now for the hatchback, with all panels.

there are 3 guys already waiting on coupe conversions with panels, i cant find htem for the life of me.

i should also have 2 more hatchback conversions in the coming weeks from friends of mine with parts cars.

[VA240]

I love my Canadian-spec seatbelts. Free bump for a great seller!

[TheTimanator]

Any chance of getting the seatbelt "conversion" in blue for my hatchback?

[bing]

blue eh?

i try to avoid getting tan and blue because there has been almost no demand for it and i cnat justify buying the parts and holding them until i do find someone.

i dont have any leads on where i might find a blue set at this time.

the colours are relatively similar anyways, when i did have a blue set i had to have REALLY good lighting to even tell teh difference between it and the grey sets.

or in other words...want dark grey?...lol

[TheTimanator]

blue eh?
or in other words...want dark grey?...lol
haha, not really. I'd really like to get a blue set just to keep everything the same color. I know there's not too much of a difference but if I'm gonna be paying $170 (is that still the price?) for a conversion I'd like it to match :mepoke:

If you find a set (since I'm guessing it might take a while) pm me or email me at [email protected] If you want to confirm that I'll buy them, since you said there's no demand. That way you won't be stuck with them if I get them elsewhere (unlikely ;) )

what do you think?

[bing]

i'll see what i cna do for you bro...

and unless you have a best friend at UPS who likes to give sicko shipping rates the price is still the 170, keeping in mind that a good chunk of that i never get to see, sadly.

$170 is understandabe. Although I might be picking up some S14 seats tommorow, but money shouldn't be too tight. I was just asking b/c that was the price on the first page and wasn't sure if it had changed since then.

[bing]

i have a set of belts up at school with me.

if someone wants them i cna ship immediately.

i do have the rest of the panels for a hatch conversion but they are back home.

also, i have a friend that i will be picking up another hatch conversion from when we can find time to meet.

interest?

[WILDACEX187]

i need a set for a coupe :(

[bing]

i know bro, you are first on my list....lol

which reminds me... e-mail sent..

[sideviewcivic]

all im interested in is just the belts themselves. i dont want nor need the plastic panels since i cant wait to pour gasoline on those worthless pieces and light a match. how soon will you have the belts and for how much

[sticky240]

what ^^^^^^^ said?

would prefer black belts.

[bing]

belts are $70 shipped if you let me use canada post, and a couple bucks more if you prefer UPS.

i'll eat the paypal fees as well.

i have one set here right now of belts only, and my buddy has a set i am picking up, we just havent had time to meet recently.

they are dark grey, not actually black. there are no actual black belts, they are dark grey.

[dvdevo]

still have the belts available?

[bing]

yes.

message length

[bing]

right now i have 2 pairs of belts, and i have panels for a hatchback as well..

if you want the panels i will ship them all.

if you want the belts only i will bring them with me to JGTC, i m coming next week to cali, i'll give you my cell number and we cna meet up then.

[DRFT]

got any black b pillars for fastback?

[Agent_S13]

I'm looking for:

Black seatbelts for a coupe with B-pillars

Would it be cheaper to ship within Canada or to the US? I'll be in Vancouver the last week of Dec and can just pack it with my stuff on the way back.

Name your price on that and if possible price shipped to me in San Francisco (94404)

Do you also have rear coupe seatbelts and buckles in black as well?

Thanks!

[bing]

i dont think you will be able to pack a and b pillars in a bag, the a pillars are long and curved, the b pillar is a funny shape.

i cant bring the panels to cali, i would have to ship them.

it would be cheaper to ship in canada yes, but i dont have panels for the coupe... well i have one set but they are spoken for by a buddy in NYC.

i have a couple sets of A-pillars, and one set of b-pillars for hatch and two extra sets of belts.

all grey.

i know where a tan conversion is but i would have to go buy it.

also, the US dollar has lost about 15% of its value since i last sold these so please take that into account.

[bing]

btw, grey = black

and all panels are used

i dont brig home damaged panels (cracked) but there are scratches and scuffs on SOME of them.

[vegita319]

Still have a dark grey(black) hatchback set with b pillars and everything need for complete set? If so, i'm interested. Let me know. I live in so cal, so i can meet you when u come down for jgtc. Thanks.

[EH9]

Comment removed.

[bing]

i can accomodate one full conversion for the hatch back right now...

if we can complete something soon i can ship them on monday, the day before i leave for cali.

just trying to put some $$$ together before i go because i am stretching myself thin with this trip.

i cant bring the panels with me, so i would have to ship them. i will be bringing any extra sets of belts that arent taken before then.

[zeek]

Bing Ive spoken with you several times about those rear Valances, I would like to know of you have any pictures of YOUR valances installed on someones car?

[bing]

one guy just inquired about the valances, he says his buddies have them and he wants a set.

i asked him for pics of them on his buddies' car and he said he would have them for me. but i havent heard from him in a couple days.

i dont have any pics.

heck, i havent even mounted the originals at all.

are you one of the guys that send me an e-mail? i got a few recently.

if not then send me an e-mail.

my inbox on zilvia gets filled quickly, i try to save important messages but cant save them all.

i dont want to display e-mail addresses on here, but i was told that some guys that had them and liked them are on AZ240sx... the guy who told me is from arizona, i just checked so i guess it wasnt you.

either way pm me or e-mail me...

thanks

[bing]

i just realised that my e-mail isnt in my profile.

cwong02 at uoguelph.ca

i sent another e-mail to the guy in AZ about getting pics for you

[bing]

full hatch conversion sold, thanks eric...

one set of belts left, if in Cali i can bring them to JGTC..

[vegita319]

Hey bing, I'm interested for a full set. I sent a pm. Let me know. You can get me on Aim. I will pay pal you when you give me the word. Thanks. Aim: vegita319. Email is [email protected]

-henry

P.S. These will include all of the washers that were missing in some of the others that bought their conversion, right? Thanks.

[bing]

i dont have AIM, up here in canada i dont think we even get America Online (i assume that is the service?)

i do have MSN

the last full conversion i had is gone, i am missing one piece for another full conversion for a hatch. gimme some time and i will get it.

this past semester has been difficult to get this crap, but the next semester should be good.

as for the washers... they are literally just random washers you can get anywhere..

the problem with these is that i have to resort to parts cars for the belts of course and the reason they become parts cars in canada is because of road salt.

they are all rotted out bad, so bad in fact that i had to actually cut the carpet and rip the bottom bolt out through the rocker panel... i am serious.

i then had to grid down the rest of the rocker panel that was left on the bolt and then hammer it off...

the bolts and washers are easy to replace if need be, i wouldnt worry about that.

there is talk of people wanting headliners to complete this conversion.. i can probably do that, i know i have at least two right now, but i forget what one of them is for. shipping them isnt difficult but i dont know what they are like for pricing...

[Dutchmalmiss]

do you happen to have a grey headliner? i have everything swapped except for that. i have that gap.

[bing]

hatch or coupe?

i have a headliner that i found in my garage yesterday but i cant remember if it is from a coupe or a hatch...lol

i can get headliners i am sure but i havent ever removed one so you'll have to give me some time on it.

i wont be able to grab any other gear for another 2 weeks, i have my last exam on friday morning then work on fri / sat and then i leave fro cali early next week.

but i am your guy for that piece so keep in touch with me.

[Agent_S13]

Alright, how much shipped for:

black seatbelts
A/B pillars
headliner

All in black to 94404? (that's San Francisco Area)

If you're on your way down to California, any chance you can stop thru SF and I can pick up a set of belts? (Also looking for coupe rear seatbelts w/ buckles in black too) Then if possible, you can ship the headliner and panels so it'll be lighter.

Since you're going around hitting junkyards, think you can also find pieces I'm looking for? (I have a thread with pics in the WTB section) Mostly window roller for manual windows in black and the door handle cup piece.

Anyways, feel free to PM or send me an e-mail -- [email protected]

Thanks!

If you guys want bolts for the swap. I would get them from a Pulsar. I used pulsar bolts in my car and they fit good with the canandian seatbelts and interior panels

[Dutchmalmiss]

my car is a fastback. if the one you have is for a fastback, then i'll take it. just PM me with your phone number or I'll PM you if you have it.

[bing]

i am hoping to stop in San Fran yeah, my dad's cousin is a police officer (CSI) there and has lots of guns and cars and other toys...lol

i dont have a full conversion right now, i need one of the b-pillars for it, they are hard to get in good shape because they break so easily.

i'll try and get more before i head out there, but i will still be doing these when i get back..

[bing]

hey guys,

i ahve one pair of belts left in grey.

also;

i sold a coupe conversion to a buddy in NY and he ha decided not to use the panels.

if anyone wants a coupe conversion the panels can be shipped cheaper within the U.S. i bet.

i can send my belts to finish the package

[dball33]

Is it still $70 shipped for the pair of belts? Also, do you have all the washers and bolts that go with them? Thanks

[tastyratz]

just did a belt conversion for myself and fyi i put all the bolts hardware and other bs on a scale. Going from our autobelts to manual belts will knock off 18 lbs. this isnt a guess like most people do this was actually every piece to do so placed on a scale acurately. also the part that attaches to the seat that the belts clip into is the same down here as it is up there

[bing]

i have some washers and bolts.

the problem is that many of them come from cars that have a rust problem.

the bottom bolt washers are usually rusted a lot.

they are just generic washers and the bolts and washers are the same as the rear so you can use yours or from a parts car or match them up at the hardware store.

i try to keep all that stuff but if it isnt in good shape then there is no point.

i would like to sell these belts to someone with a coupe who would like to take the panels from my buddy in NY to help him out.

[dball33]

Could you keep me posted then if you want to sell just your belts. Thanks

[bing]

sure,
