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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
