S13 Manual Seat belt conversion

[shomo172]

Today I received some manual seat belts that I swapped into my S13.
It wasn't too difficult for me because I had already taken all my panels off, and the auto seatbelts were removed before I bought the car.

Anyways, my question is about the b-pillar panels. I broke one of mine trying to play with it to see if I could make it work. Say I was to buy JDM or CDM b-pillar panels, would they line up right with the USDM A-pillar and/or rear seat panels? Are the rear seat panels the same? Any Canadians have some pictures of their interior?
Anyone know where I can buy them? Any information would be awesome. Thanks. I really don't wanna cut my panels.

Is it possible to get away with only the b-pillar panels that the top of the seat belt bolts too? I already have belts in there now. I'm just wondering if the panels line up. I can't find anywhere selling these items.

Just get and USDM OEM B-Pillar. Get a longer bolt and washers to strengthen it.
Make a small hole in the B-pillar and it'll look like the manual belts are meant to be there.

There's a thread out here on NICO talking about this, look for it if not I'll take pics of mine later so you can see what I mean.

Yeah I was thinking maybe I can do that. The gap doesn't bother me underneath where the autos used to be, as long as the panels are there. I broke my panels but it will be easier to find USDM ones anyway.

Could you show me a picture? Like with the bolt and stuff, if possible? I couldn't find the pics on Nico. The only pics were from a guy who was rocking it with no panels. Thanks in advance.

Seatbelts that are known to fit: Canadian/JDM S13, S14, Sentra

I have herd of people using rear S14 seat belts, but that's ghetto.

I did all JDM/CDM paneling. For the A-pillar, you want CDM b/c there is no 'shit' handle on them. WIth JDM panels, that handle will be on the driver's side (annoying as fuck).

Is it possible to get away with only the b-pillar panels that the top of the seat belt bolts too? I already have belts in there now. I'm just wondering if the panels line up. I can't find anywhere selling these items.

No. The USDM A-pillar is significantly wider due to autobelts and will not mate up properly with the JDM/CDM B-pillar panels without looking like crap.

I did all my paneling with JDM/CDM panels:

JDM B-pillar, CDM A-pillar:

Plus I had my headliner re-done- you will need to do it as stated up above. Total cost was significantly more than $250 for me all said/done... But I bought all my panels new & had the headliner done by a shop...

I don't remember which Nissan dealer in Canada I bought mine from. Pretty much any of them there will be able to get you the panels you need. Also, you will need to order the B-pillar inserts for the seat belts- they do not come with the new panels.

Everything lines up perfectly.
