I own a pair of Nissan S13 coupes. They both have the awkward and unreliable 90's mouse track shoulder belts. I have found late 2000's conventional lap/ shoulder belts from Nissan products the would adapt well in their place. However they are equipped with charge operated retractors triggered by the SRS control module. Is there any reason they would not function as a normal belt? I understand the retractors would not function. The belts should still function as they would in an accident that was not at the right angle to result in an airbag deployment. Any thoughts?
You could try finding out what the Canadian market cars were using at the time. The US got those monkey motion belts before Canada did.
Yeah there's no reason they wouldn't function as normal belts, nothing to worry about.
In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :
Thanks for the info. I had looked into that earlier however not much luck in my price point.
ask paul. he's the seat belt retrofit expert.
They will work like normal belts without the srs. Inertia lock will still work. The only thing that doesn't work is the explosion to lock the belt in place when the airbag goes off.

The explosion doesn't just lock the belt, it also retracts it a bit.
Thank you, GameboyRMH and Ranger50 this confirms what I thought. I will use the set I got a while back in the gold car.
