Seat Belts - What Are My Choices?

Hey guys,

Took my R32 GTS-t to get an LO1 Mod Plate this afternoon and it turns out I need to replace my seatbelts in order to pass to get the plate.

QLD rules and reg's require approved (ADR) seatbelts to be fitted, replacing the standard nissan ones :D

The vehicle was complied in NSW previously.

What did everyone else do - besides going an buying new ones? Can you get some from wreckers etc?

Thanks in advance.

Yeh seat belts are another issue in QLD. I'm guessing it was a 15 year import, in which case you'll need belts which state on them that they comply with ADRs.

For further reference for anyone in QLD, here's the DOT link to the requirements for all imports:

Went through something similar in VIC...

The JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) tag on the seatbelts is acceptable as ADR Compliant.

get a copy of the seatbelts section. It says something about 'ADR Markings OR EQUIVALENT'.

Of course, this was in vic. And it was a week long arguement. That I won (with the help of the auto engineer who issued the compliance cert giving me this info)

Hope the 'or equivalent' applies in QLD as well as VIC.

Good luck either way.

Oh - and auto engineer said he could do it for $400 (so you have a prive point) - but that it didn't need to be done.

Nah slightly different circumstances in QLD, as per the link I posted above...

In QLD, for a SEVS vehicle, ADR equivalents may be accepted as per the RAWS online guide.

In QLD, for a 15 year import, it must say it complies with ADRS, or have a letter of compliance from vehicle/seat belt manufacturer stating part numbers.

In QLD, for a personal import, ADR equivalents as per the RAWS online guide can be accepted.

Unfortunately i'm going to have to buy new ones :O

Rang the engineer again and he said I can used belts from another vehicle but must have a signed statutory declaration from the previous owner of the vehicle saying that the vehicle (that i'm to get the seat belts from) has never been in an accident :)

Stupid law differences - its crazy.

You should actually try and call a business that does the mod plates and that does do alot of imports and find out what seat belts they do use as you can buy Klippan Branded ones but they were quite expsensive if i remeber correcttly few hundred dollars each( but that is what they recommended for r32 eg) which is not right. So maybe you mite be able to match a seat belt up to fit? cause the average price was 70 to 80 dollars for a klippan brand.

Hope this helps.

Well, it's not really a big deal. Everyone who imports a car seems to be hit with little suprises here and there. Espeically with 15 year old imports.

You should have known that you need to replace the belts.

A few hundred bucks is nothing.

Back when I got my r33 complied, compliance was 5k, so you've got quite a bit of money to spend yet before it gets anywhere near being expensive.

That's all true. I should've done more homework before I purchased the car, I just assumed that the registration would've been a straight change-over and compliance was the same in all states. But I guess its true what they say: Assumption is the mother of all f**kups! :)

I was told by an engineer that if you want to use belts from another car you need a signed statutory declaration stating that the vehicle (that the belts are coming from) has never been in an accident :P

It never ends.

I'll try scout for some wrecks.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
