Hi all,
My seat belts are a bit saggy and reluctant to retract. I had heard from various 300 people there was a part you could grease and they'd be alright again.
Anyway no such luck I've had them out and apart and learnt all about how they work, and I've come to the conclusion the coiled spring in the reel part is just tired, and I need new ones. I tried winding the spring up a bit more before putting it back together and that didn't help either.
I've never seen any 300zx ones for sale, no doubt like everything for the 300 in this country they'll be too much £. I was wondering if another Nissan would have the same belts? I only really need the reel part on the side, the rest is good. I looked on the net and I *think* the Z31 may have the same belts?
They are made by NSK Ltd, so maybe that'll be a lead.
Have attached a couple of pics.
