I'm almost 100 percent sure nobody but me wants to make this conversion happen, but I love the auto s13 belts. Is it possible to make them work in an s14? I am skilled in electrical work and can do some minor modification/fabrication if need be. I repeat for clarity, I want s13 auto belts in my s14. Any thoughts?

There's a first time for everything I suppose...
You'd need all the relays, motors, and other hardware, and I'm not sure if the motors, tracks, and trim pieces would all fit the S14 roofline.

You're probably going to have to blaze your own trail here.

Yeah, the tracks seems the most complicated. The shape may be different, but I suppose you could extract some from an S13 and bend them to fit the S14. Looking at the pictures of the track assemblies, this seems doable as there are just tabs to drill holes for to mount it to your door jam. I'm pretty sure the shape of the window is slightly different between the two. In addition to parts listed above, there is a seatbelt controller unit on the transmission tunnel so you'll want to get that. I say do it, photo document the process, and share it with us!

Oh, and welcome to NICO Club!

I found a set of rails with motors and the computer, possibly the rest of what I need too. I know I need:
Rails and motors
Shoulder belts
Lap belts and buckles
Control module
All related plugs

I've studied the wiring diagram for the system and it looks fairly simple, but there will be quite a few wires to run. I think I'll find a spot in the trunk for the computer.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
This may be quite the project

P.s. Thanks for the welcome. Im glad to finally join this forum. I've grazed this forum for years and I'm always impressed with what I find.

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to this when you get around to it.
