does s14 seatbelts work on our car ?

[Dutchmalmiss]

they should, but i want all the panels to cover the gap where the auto belts used to be, yunno?

[fogleroller]

you can still use all the panels, you just have to slightly modify one part. I remember seeing a pic somewhere, just cant remember where. (either here or fresh alloy)

I think you're better off getting some S14 seatbelts. I got a canadian S13 seatbelt set from a fellow Zilvia member awhile back. I also got the interior panels that also go along with it. I put them in and realized that they don't cover up the gaps because the USDM cars are designed w/ the autobelts in mind. I put the canadian B-pillar in but it doesn't cover the exposed metal rail from the autobelt completely and the fabric doesn't go all the way to the ends of the roof near the door along the rails either. I didn't get a picture but I'll take a few pics later and post. I do have this pic though since I managed to find the belts that matched my interior:

Now I'm going to get another USDM b-pillar to drill a hole. It looks good in that pic but wait till I take it a few inches higher... not as pretty. Oh, I also had to cut into the carpet because the lower belt pivot point was covered by the carpet. I just widened the carpet to the rear a few inches, no big deal but you can see it kinda tangled. I don't know if S14 belts do that but it might be easier.

I just used the USDM panel to cover up the exposed rail on the ceiling along the door. In the pic above, I'm using the Canadian B-pillar but I'm trying to get another set of USDM b-pillars (brown of course hahah) and just drill a hole for the bolt and I should be okay there covering everything up. The Canadian paneling is too short to cover up the railing... I was lazy and didn't take pics but I will later tonight and post here.

More pics, sorry I've been late on them but I doubt anyone was really waiting for them.

Carpet hole that I extended to get the belt to angle correctly.

Overhead with the USDM A-pillar and the Canadian B-pillar (I would have used the Canadian A-pillar but it exposes even more of that metal track from the autobelt.)

thats a coupe right?

are you sure the a-pillars were out of a coupe? is it possible that they were from a hatch and that the pillars may be of a different length? i dont know for sure either way, just curious. i can get coupe a-pillars if those are not them.

i do know that the B-pillar is VERY different in the hatch, so perhaps the A-pillar is as well.
