i dont know much about zeds but i want to learn everything about them so i have a 2+2 and the seatbelts are where they normaly are but ive seen zeds with there seatbelts on the doors. wats up with that?
Aussie delivered Zeds all have the seatbelts in "normal locations". Most imported Zeds had them converted from the door to the normal locations, but some, like mine, did not, and stayed on the door.
To my knowledge I thought that J-spec Zs had the seat belts mounted on on the doors, I know my Z does and it is imported. But I also thought that when they were imported, as part of the compliance process the seat belt was to be mounted to the usual spot.
Hi Do a google search - 300zx history and select "Nissan 300ZX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" There is a timeline and history on the Z32 1994 - Seat belts redesigned; they were moved from door mounts to true pillar mounts. Some other will add more detail for the answer you seek. My kids got a 1990 NA J-Spec import - seatbelts in door Mine 1990 NA Aus-Spec - Seatbelts in door Mate has 1990 TT Aus-Spec - Seatbelts in pillar (cause he moved em ! ) Hope this helps
JDM 1993 NA - On pillar JDM 1991 TT - On Door It is supposed to be a compliance item. But nissan started to move them later in the production run (post 1993), so there really is no 'right way'. Having them on the door is good, because they are easy to reach, but bad when you want to open the door while still buckled up. On the pillar is good, but hard to reach back to grab the belt. Door pillar looks cleaner too without all the seatbelt paraphanalia hanging off it
There is another plus to the door mounted belts - makes it tough for any carjackers to open the door and pull you out.
So does the key lock, I've had mates try to reach through the window and take the key out and look like idiots. :rofl:[TIS]
Haha! when i first got mine i couldnt find said button and was stuck in the car for quite awhile lol JDM 1993 NA with seatbelts on the Pillar
