I recently bought a '91 240SX fastback. For the most part it is in excellent condition.

Can you please estimate how much it would cost to fix a couple quirks with the car?

Also, whats the best way to go about fixing these problems?

1. The passenger side seatbelt does not connect into the component that is automized on rails. (I have the power seatbelts.)

2. The E. brake is jacked to one side. Instead of pulling straight up, it pulls at a diagonal. Other than that, it works fine.

Thanks in advance.

Automized on rails? lol........

Seriously though, do you mean that the across-the-breast piece isn't connected, or the actual moving assembly isn't connected. If it's the belt, flip it over because it only locks one way. If it's the "automized" assembly, then take the trim off and inspect it further then hit the junk yard for the parts you need.

Hope that helps.

It's a '91 fastback with 104k miles. I paid about $3500 for it. Other than those little quirks it runs perfectly.

Are you sure the E. Brake is supposed to go to one side like that? It just feels and seems awkward.

And whats the best way about going about fixing the seatbelt?

my '90 has an ebrake that pulls towards the driver. Thats normal, also flip the buckle around that attaches to the moving thing put it in the directions that looks like it would work least, and it will click right in.
