Last week my gf jumped in the passanger seat of my R33 and when she pulled out the seatbelt it kept coming out and had no tension at all. Now it doesnt retract at all. Im geussing the spring mechanism for the belt is stuffed and I guess you cant open it up (the spring mechanism) to fix it due to safety issues.

So basically I need to find a second hand seatbelt for the passanger side of an R33 gtst Series 2.

Also, from what ive been told the seat belt mechanism for the passanger side goes behind the back seat, so its probably not something I could do myself (im not very mechanically skilled).

So im after a new seatbelt mechanism, and to basically confirm if what I know is correct; that I can't fix the current seatbelt mechanism and how to go about replacing it best.

Thanks in advance.

Try a compliance workshop...they're supposed to replace the seat belts at compliance so they should have some new ones lying around...

As for the passenger seat belt mechanism being behind the rear seats, not sure how true that is...I had my front and rear seats out and didn't see it back there...

Thanks for the quick response.

In regard to the mechanism location, thats just what I was told by a mate, so not necessarily a reliable source, however he hasnt been wrong before, so this would be a first.

I didnt think to check compliance places. There are a few memebrs on here from compliance workshops from memory, carizma or something? I just need to find one that would do an R33. Ill dig around in a few threads. Thanks.

is it an autoliv seat belt or a genuine nissan one?

Wouldnt have a clue to be honest. Cant check right now either as my car is at home. Does one of the two have a lifetime warranty or something? :P

Would it say what it is on that little tag that hangs off all seatbelts?

Been quoted by Oakleigh Mechanical Repairs.

$50 for second hand seatbelt assembly.

$20-$30 for installation.

Any feedback on these guys, if its good post it here, otherwise send it via PM please.

Thanks

im pretty sure the seatbelt location is exactly the same as the drivers....inside the pillar where the belts dissapears. its a fiddly job but not difficult at all.

i doubt it would be a genuine item as its normally replaced durring compliance.

ah just remembered...yeah i think you do have to remove the bottom rear seat to open the pannel to get to the seatbelt. still not too difficult. theres two metal clips that hold the rear seat down...stick a screwdriver in there and pop it out.

Its a '97 model series 2, so yeah, it does have the dual airbags. Forgot to check the tag last night.

And thats probably my misunderstanding about it being behind the rear seat, probably what I was told was that they had to be taken out to change it.

Ill PM Dave as well and see what he has, thanks.

i got 2 full set's of seatbelts, 1 set for series 1 and one for dual air bag 97 series 2, they pretty easy to get out, just remove a couple of trims where the seatbelt is and then unbolt and replace as a whole unit. prob take an hour if you have never done it before.

im neer knox if closer than oakleigh you can buy from me for $50

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
