I have, they are the ones telling me 2-3 week for making them up.

Tempted to grab some out of a 180SX from someone wrecking. Not sure if the engineer will be happy with that and waiting to get his feedback. My understanding is that for a pre 89 car they only have to comply with ADR, not be new

Thank is correct that the seat belts must be ADR approved and be in good condition, not necessarily new .. however they need to be the correct belts for the exact car, you can't just grab some from another model car as they will not work correctly with the specific angles of installation, etc. so the engineer should never approve it if they aren't correct for your car.

Klippan are the manufacturers so your only option would be to wait for them to have some ready for you, or call around auto parts stores and wreckers all over Australia (and New Zealand where Sierra's were semi-common) to see if you can find someone with some sitting around already.

Yeh, I have measured them up and the retractor are all vertical mount on the side of the car and perpendicular. So they have to be mounted in the vertical pointing straight up with no angle in the belt. The sash guide is directly above the retractor. Hopefully a 180SX or something is similar. Belts need to be 2.35m

Still if the belts fitted are not exactly correct then the engineer must reject them, and they shouldn't just check that they work but should check part numbers to make sure they are correct for the car. Once the car is passed the engineer and is registered then you can do whatever you like and if you have belts fitted that are close to original specs then that is up to you, however I have seen belts fitted that were just a few degrees out which failed to lock when needed so personally I would just wait a couple of weeks for the right parts and in the meantime call around for second hand ones.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
