Supposedly Nissan has a lifetime repair on the seatbelts, so just take it to the dealer and tell them to fix it!

Chris was right, there IS a lifetime warranty on your seatbelts by Nissan. Now, the dealerships probably won't come out and tell you that, if they even know, but if they look into it they'll find out.

Any sort of seatbelt problem/defect has to be fixed free of charge by Nissan; it's a safety issue.

 

im soooo good.

Totally cool

Fantastic!!! You guys are awesome....now to that antenna issue....haha, don't have an answer for that one do ya? eh?

jk, you guys helped out a lot already I'm in your debt :1bowdown

 

Yo might be able to use a different one but it will most likely have to mold it in. You might also loose reception.

 

you can buy a spare antenna at any parts store, my dad bought one for his 87 jetta and its aftermarket and its amazing. looks perfect on the car and works great...

and as for the seatbelt.. if they say "oh its just a sound"
u tell them that ur driving a car and your life is at stake, u want it to be fixed so that you dont hear the sound and have a vision of u getting into a crash and ur seatbelt not holding up in everytime it makes the goddamn sound... and they will listen and fix the sound, or replace the motor.

 

switch to manual belts :thumbsup (from a CDM or JDM car)

*THREAD JACK*​

How hard and how much money will it cost to convert to the auto to manual? I don't exactly like the auto belts myself.

 

yes and yes

I just made an appointment with the dealer to fix the belt, they had no problems at all, even offered the info themselves that I could get it fixed for free. (Mossy Nissan in Clairmont Mesa - San Diego)
I WOULD prefer manual seatbelts, but if it's too much work, I'll just figure out something else. Plus, the issue will probably come up again when I get my new seats (saving up for Sparco Turino or Milano...mmmm)
Thx for all the input, if anyone has any experience with seatbelt swapping and/or antenna swapping on this particular car, it would be very helpfull.

 

As far as the antenna thing goes, I've been there, done that also...haha...Mine was broken, and at the time $50 for a motorized replacement on ebay was too much. So I ordered a rubber antenna for like $20 bucks...it works, but I wish it would've been better quality. Reception is a LOT worse.

As far as for taking out the old one, it doesn't take long, although it can be a pain in the ass. It's been a couple years since I did it, so I don't remember exactly, but I know the motor for the antenna is inside the hatch. There's a little "door" in the fabric where the factory jack goes, and the motor is reachable through there...

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, maybe you can find something about it online, or if I can find anything in the online copy of the FSM that someone hosted for a while, I'll upload that page...

Good luck,

Micah

 

thx much

Actually, I located the hatch and know exactly what you're talking about. That shouldn't be TOO hard. Thanks for all your help you guys really helped a lot.

 

man I dont even have one of those motor antennas I musta got teh crap model.

I thought they all had the power antenna no matter what model you have...I have a base model '90 hatch, no sunroof, rear wiper, etc etc...and I still had a power antenna... :12dunno

 

man I dont even have one of those motor antennas I musta got teh crap model.

lol, my car says "240S" on the back too. the dude painted over it too, so i cant just remove the rest of them.

 

my motor anttena broke in my 92 fastback but i still get reception. The only thing is that it woulnt go down and looks dumb. I heard someones antenna on here that it woulnt go up. Is there any way i can get my antenna to go down and keep it like that even if the motor is broken?

 

My motor is also broke and won't go down. It does look retarded now but is not that big of a deal. Eventually, I'll get around to it. maybe, if I run across a cheap replacement.

 

...also my drivers side seatbelt is alot slower than the passenger side. Think they'd fix that for me for free? =)

 

Id sell you guys my seatbelts they work great but Im leaving soon and wont have acess to my car. When I get back you guys are gonna read tons about my project.
