You know the little plastic arm that hands you the seat belt? Well my S2 R33 has it and I hate it. Sure its great when you reaching back to get the belt, but when driving its staring me right in the eye when I look to my right and I find it scary. Needs to go.

I took out the bolt that holds the seat belt, but all I saw was about one thousand washers and no way to get the extender out, at least not through the bottom because of the little plastic cap in the seat belt. Do I need to remove the whole seat belt and take the plastic side interior back panels out to get the darn thing out?

I could cut it but I think some people may find these useful so its going for sale if anyone wants it.

They're sewn in with the belt end connections, so it's not going to come off the belt.

The rough method for you is to butcher the belt slot in the extender.

I'm in the exact opposite situation.

I want one for the left side. Have acquired a complete right side belt with extender but the only way to install it is to cut off my left side belt end, fit extender and then have the end re-sewn back.

No-one will do seat belt sewing these days.

Back in the day, had a mate who made 5-point race car belt assemblies, nobody died.

But I've seen people specifically looking for these to fit to their R33s that didn't come with it, like most series 1s? How do these people fit it and more importantly do they all buy ones that have been cut open?

I guess thats good news since cutting it somewhere in the middle of the belt slide hole so it can be re used is the easy way out. Is there a way to lock it in place facing down, I could live with that, I just hate it staring me in the side of the head. I'm ok if it stays down.

If a car doesn't have the extender and you particularly want it, you have to buy the the whole show, retractor mechanism etc.

They're available from wrecked/parted out cars and are not expensive.

The extender locks into positions at 90 degrees, straight up/down or pointing to the front.

Straight up/down should be what you're after.
