Hey All,

I’ve noticed my seat belt has frayed near where it joins to the seats.

So I need to get them replaced, any 1 have any places they recommend?

ive been told you need to take it to a workshop registered or licensed to fit seat belts.

can you just get seat belts from any model of car, or do they have to be gtr seatbelts? just wondering what my options are.

im not keen on racing harness though as im not that much of a racer.

If its just frayed a bit on the edges, just get a lighter on to it and burn the freying away! Other than that if the belts are the same in another model Line then no doubt you could use them but i'm sure you'd be able to find some 32 GTR ones at a wrecker here somewhere!

It is illegal for wreckers to sell seat belts, so I doubt they will.

Sorry I can't help with where to get them though.

I had to do this a while ago for the pulsar, and you will not get a wrecker in Adelaide that will sell you 2nd hand seat belts.

Options are buy it from nissan, or go to Wiltshires (on south Rd - I think correct spelling) to get them to replace or repair your belts. There are a few other places around town, 1 north enfield way, that will do the same however I do not know there names.

Yeh no s#@t??? I wouldn't have thought it would be a issue provided they are still in working order, BANG you learn something new everyday!

They cant due to legallity issues, if you have a car crash and the seatbelt breaks they are liable.

I spent $287 for 2 new front seat belts for my 32 4dr.

They were custom made and took 2 weeks to get back to me.

ALTHOUGH they dont fit.

The B Pillar Adjustment bracket plastic thingy will not fit into the mounting bracket on the new seat belts. Took them back and they swore that they were custom made for my car.

BAH BOOHHHHHH.

Go to Wilshires and get them made properly. Dont waste your time with other places.

PS. I still havent got seat belts that fit my car.

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
