Thread: How To: B-pillar seat belt swap/B14 seat belt conversion

after awhile of driving around with this seat beat mod. i have to say these belts hug. i mean im a short guy so i move the seat up nd when i click in the belt they hug nd dont let go. nd i tested the *ish out of them nd they refuse to give....thx for the write up, great idea and i feel alot safer now

I'll gladly trade my Se-R for a Gti-R. Any canadian guys pm me . Umm well the classic was sold in canada. I've read before that the B13 Canadian belts will go in the american cars. Somebody correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Good write up of your solution though.

Naah, just ground the connection in the wire. In my 91 at least the light goes off after a few minutes or less anyway with the belt unbuckled. When I use my Schroth 4-pt harness, I don't buckle the seat belt and the light goes away by itself.



I had the door inside panel off last weekend to drop some new speakers in, appalled at how crappy the spooling mech bits are in the door, Nissan really sneaked this one into the US. The spool is exceptionally well attached to the door panel, but you get the double kiss accident, like a T-bone + frontal impact in 2 steps, that POS isn't going to work.

One thing that I've thought of is re-use of the mounting point in this thread, but create an L-bracket of 1/4" steel stock, bolt the bottom through the chassis (floor), the other one as shown. Honestly as nice work as that is, the mounting point for a front driver or passenger really needs to be stronger.

I really want to ditch those belts for autocross and track use, but to date the only really safe solution is putting in a floor and pillar mount harness bar or a cage. SCCA won't allow a "Y" harness like Schroth on the track for TT's but it's legal for road use and autocross (but not too practical for the first!).

The irony is any DOT/NHSTA legal OEM seat belt IS legal for track use in Time Trials - so I have to park my harness and put on my seat belt when I am trying to turn my fastest laps of the day - how messed up is THAT?

dude dats mad hot i likes dat i just might do dat as well. nice job man

I just finished this swap last week and love it! The doors feel a lot better to open and close too without all the weight on the ends!

One quick problem though... The alert beeping is annoying the **** out of me. How do I disconnect it?

Did you use 2-door or 4-door belts for this modification? There is a difference between the two. Trust me, I know. I tried to put b14 se-r's into my b14 sentra when "refurbishing" my interior. The lower "strap" is different lengths between the two.

Thanks

^^^ BUMP for an answer.

short the wire out..i routed the wire back to the plug it stops

I used 2dr belts from a 200SX.

Thanks! I check the junk yards this weekend.
