How do I fix the driver moving seatbelts? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I understand that there is probably a fuse for the moving seatbelts but I can't seem to find them. Sorry for such a stupid question, just dont want to have to pay to fix it if I dont have to.

You don't have to pay to fix it. Take it to the dealer, it should be free if i'm not mistaken.

Ya thats what I thought as well, but the person at Nissan told me that it is going to cost around $125 just for them to "look" at it to see what is wrong.

^^^ nooooo
its free, they shouldnt charge you at all..

Technical Articles: Are your seat belts broken? Get them fixed for free!!! here you go, hope this helps

What i'm curious about though, is that warranty only for the shoulder belt, or is it for the lap belt too? My lap belt is pulled all the way out and wont retract in so it won't tighten around you. Also it says if any part of the seat belt system has been tampered with the warranty is voided, and I have s14 seats in my 93 so the lap belt buckle is the one that was on the s14 seat, so would that be considered tampering with the system?

Tell him to eat your penis and then go read Nissan's seatbelt warranty literature. Lifetime warranty. He may be new or may be looking to score some cash. School him.

or just get manual s14 seatbelts or b12 ones
lol

+1 for manual seat belts. I just finished installing some in my car this week. It was not a bad process at all, just a lot of unbolting but everything is pretty easy to figure out and install. I even got the 180sx pillars, but I did not install the A pillars just re-used the USDM ones, because to me the gap in between the roof liner was more tolerable with the USDM pillars. You also save some weight by removing the auto belt set up. Has anybody every weighed everything you pull out?

or just buy mine lol pm me

if both stopped working it may be electrical.. if just one doesnt work its because the gray grease has jammed the button that knows it has returned. you have to unskrew the cover near the base of the belt return. keep all of the springs and little parts together dont lose them.. clean all of hte grease off of everything in there and re assemble.. voila

*hOngsterr* · 08-01-2009, 04:48 PM

best thing to do is go manual!
cuz u dont want them messing up on you again
plus that grease falling on ur clothes!
UGHH!!!
lol

Ben G · 08-02-2009, 02:24 AM

Wonder if this warranty could be used to fix your aging and slow seatbelt motor?
That belt looks so nice, moving quicly in the youtube vid posted on the nico article.

That may be wishful thinking though...
