This is the interior thread

[pulsar]

I sent a private message to Konster, but I will share the seat belt conversion I did here as well in case anyone inquires about it.

I ordered a 3 point retractable external mount seat belt from an american seller on ebay who shipped them very quickly (cost about $30 bucks). It's important to mount the seat belt retractor unit perfectly level so they lock up correctly when tugged on and release normally. I used the factory threaded holes on the sidewall just below the front of the rear seat area (match the thread bolts by using the seat belt buckle bolt in the rear seat). Your also going to need to get some of the same bolts with two locking nuts and several washers for the upper mounting area. I drilled holes in that upper support for the prior belts support on the frame and used the washers as spacers to allow the belt to swivel. Use two lock nuts on the bolt through the upper area to ensure they are secure and don't ever come loose. (have to remove the plastics from the rear of the car to access them) I tack welded the one nut to the bolt so mine will never come loose. The external belt retracting unit should fit under the lower carpet with only a slight bulge. One of the most important steps was actually using a heat gun to heat up the rear vert plastics where the belts comes up and bent them in about a quarter of an inch with a 2"x4" to not burn your hand so that the belt slides without any interference. They work well and the only gripe with them is that it's technically lower then your shoulder so they slide down the side of your arm from time to time. It's better then cutting up your rear plastics and only requires one hole to be drilled on each side and they are also new belts that come with buckles instead of old sloppy belt buckles.

The guy I ordered the belts from sells them as army surplus I believe and they seem to be pretty good quality so far.

Sent the beat up steering wheel that came on my Kouki S14 front clip out to get refinished. I had perforated leather added to the 9 & 3 o'clock positions and orange stitching, basically to match my G35 steering wheel. Happy with the results.

This is awesome, thank you! Would you mind posting a clearer more detailed image of the retractor installation? That seems to be the biggest hangup for us vert owners!

That looks great. Who did that for you?

I was referred to a guy out in Texas. His website is pretty basic, but is quick to reply and make sure you get what you want. http://leathersteeringwheelwraps.com

Asking for people's opinions here.

This is my interior-


(stock seat going away soon, Kouki 180SX seat waiting in the garage)

Red and black floor mats, red door card inserts (gonna redo them), red car.
Blue pattern insert on my Grex knob, blue drift button.

Should I put in the red Grex pattern insert and get a red drift button as well?

[HORShi]

Beautiful...

[omgosh]

Another take on S13 vert seatbelts...

I mean if you're into that ricey Japanese fanboy look then yeah, go with all red. And while you're at it, find a replica of the Nismo cigarette lighter.

Find yourself some red bride fabric and go crazy on your door cards, glove box, center console, rear arm rests, hatch carpet etc.

[Nategreat923]

Just made offset brackets to move my seat 3" further forward. Yay short life!

So far:
Zeta 3
Nardi classic
Gator concave mirror
180sx radio
Some checkered floor mats
Nismo knob
S14 passenger seat

Still waiting to put my digital climate control in

I'm confused. Do you say this as if it is a bad thing? But then have a link at the bottom of your sig to a Japanese website? I think slot of things are played out and redundant and done without taste, but whatever makes people happy/like their car more.

To me execution is the most important, other things after that are determined by $$$$$ and availability and taste.

Meh, not really my cup of tea. I don't think I liked Damon's interior or the interior he copied. I'd rather have a mint brown (with beige/tan accents) stock interior than something as far out as that.

I can see the appeal in wanting your interior like this though.

No, that's my favorite interior. I guess I'm a Japanese fanboy.
