Hi all,

I need some questions answered.

My R33 series 1 has a wire come from the flooring and plugs into the bottom of my drivers and passenger side seats. Then another wire comes from there and hangs loosely with nothing connected. What is this for? Airbag? Should the wire just being sitting there loosely?

Thanks

Thanks,

But I found the problem is that when they removed the original seat belts, the wires were connected to where the belt connects. This would send a signal to the dash saying your seat belt is on or off. Just a safety feature.

So the new povo belts they put in would not have this feature and so the wires cannot be connected.

hey guys,

just a quick answer to shed some light on whether they can be used for anything else.... i wanted to hook some under seat neons up to them which would have been controlled by a switch on the dash, but before buying the neons i tested the currency of the plugs with a multimeter and found that there was less then 0.20volts going through, therefore there was not even 1volt going through, so i gave upon the idea of using them for neons..... i'm not saying i'm right, as it could just be my car, so can anyone else here test them as well to see whether u get the same results, as i really wanted to use them for some neons, perfect spot and all :P,

many thanks (interested to hear results now!!!!)

yeah, as stated above, I was told in my R32, that they are for the seat belt light. The chairs sense if someone is sitting in them ,and if the belt isnt on, the light on dash will flash.

For compliance the seatbelts are swapped as the jap ones dont have ADR approval. The seatbelt, and the seat belt thingy that it plugs into are swapped. Mybelts even have a different anchor bolt into the chassis near the door....

As this is only a small function, it wouldnt require much voltage.

Do all Skylines have air bags?

My series 1 GTST doesn't have an air bag at all (dash or wheel) and it has those wires under the seats!!! maybe rule thos options out!!

Has anyone looked at there new seat belts for front seats!! had my interior removed recentl;y and those seat belt moun ts done look very safe!!!

it's like a single bolt through thin body steel, going to a metal plate that the belt bolts onto!! any one else seen this!!!???

The wires are there in the R32's for the electric seat belt retainers - you may notice sometimes that the seat belt will not automatically retract or have any force on it wanting it to retract. As soon as you undo the belt from the buckle, it automatically retracts. This was as a comfort feature, I thought it was rather stupid personally and disconnected it, thus always having tension from the belt on my chest.

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
