Front or back?

For the front I used a pair of the Clippan general fit retractables.

Rear is a lot harder, for rego I needed to get brackets made up that would support the retracting bit on the rear shelf, keep it far enough forward that it would fit under the window, far enough back that it wouldnt foul on the seatback and be anchored securely on the underside of the shelf (which isnt flat if memory serves me right. I did this by ripping out the rear seats and carpeting the back instead, and making up a carpeted solid panel to cover the ski portal

Front! Don't suppose you have the part number for those front jobs do you?

Did they bolt in ok or anything need moddin?g? My back ones aren't retractable so it doesn't matter really.

i went to a wrecker and got ones from a MR30 aus spec car for the front $10 and they were black, just make shaw you get the whole lot, the belt and the clip... the rear i have to get the bracket made up.. i took out the parcel shelf to find the old belts bolted to the strut tops????

The ones I got for the fron tof my HR30 coupe were:

"Teh dropLink"

I went to a seatbelt business though,not Repco,etc. One thing I was a bit dissapointed about,the drop link wasn't quite as long as the originals,but liveable. Don't reuse the original drop links!!!! You will get kicked right up the arse if anyone discovers the belts have been restitched!

Just went and looked, I think I got the bit that anchors by the seat and threaded that through, then the buckle bit I put the plastic bit in first and wiggled it till it came through.  I'll take a photo later, my battery is dead atm

I'd be interested to know how you did it Adam. I looked at trying to use to originals in my HR,but it wasn't going to work without cutting the belt.Bit late for me now,but just for interest's sake :)

Adam : Can you post some more photo's of your seat belts down the bottom where they bolt into the car please?? I've gotta start looking at replacing my belts in my car, but mine go in behind the trim if i remember rightly where your's appears not to???? Cheers mate :D

Boof,I think you'll find the reel is behind the quater trim.The blade part bolted to the inner sill in the pic there is the other end of the belt.

Adam.My buckles must've been bigger than the ones you have,as there was no way I could've fed them through th drop link as you've done...

Yeah thats right that part, but how in the hell are you going to feed them through the drop link?? Thats the bit i don't get!! Unless you can buy belts that have been fed through that drop link already???

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
