So, I decided that I wanted to get rid of the silly mechanical seatbelts in my S13 and called a couple Nissan wrecking yards and was quoted anywhere from 100.00 to 150.00 for a set of used seatbelts....What a rip!

So I decided to go out to my local pick and pull to get some ideas of other belts that would fit and found a couple of options that worked great.

S12 seatbelt will basically bolt right in with only a small mod needed (Hole drilled) for the top bolt of the belt retractor to fit.

But I ended up buying a set of black belts from a 96ish 200sx (2 door sentra) that required the same hole drilled but were much newer then the S12 belts.

Total spentGate fee $ 2.00Belt Fee $30.00Time spent 1 hour

Results Priceless

A friend of mine mentioned this pretty recently, it'd be sweet if you posted up some pictures and a DIY.

$100!?!? thats ridiculous.

I paid a fraction of that at a local junkyard for a manual S13 seatbelt. Which is now for sale by the way. Check teh sig.

I have been out of town on business for the last several days but will take some picks and post them soon. I am sure that there are other Nissan applications that will also work but I stopped looking when I found these.

will the 200sx belt work with the s13 receptacle (the thing that the belt plugs into)?
