martinmac Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If the flood was an act of God then you deserve a little help with your car being o.k. Can buy cushinoed pads to fit over seatbelts. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 ...... The only immediate one I can think of at the moment is that the seat belt cuts across my neck and is not adjustable, is there anything I can do about that? Nixy, sorry just got around to reading this thread! Yeah someone already said it but you can get pads for the seat belts..... I have some custom ones here that I don't use anymore, they have 350z & Nissan on etc...... So to celebrate your good news Nixy, you can have these! They cost me £20 odd quid but you can have em if you want.........? PM me if you want pics etc!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 do they stop it cutting across your neck then? Or maybe my seats too low? Or maybe they don't expect 5ft 6 people to drive it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzz... Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 nixy this is good news... but can i say you should get the guys to visually inspecthe connectors in the floor area in the cabin, for extra piece of mind. 1. Workshop manual available in this forum, has a section called PG, in page 53 there is a good diagram showing the main connectors, focus on the floor mounted ones... 2. Some of the connectors in the cabing will not be watertight. 3. If they remove the seats it should be easy to check the main ones ... open them, check inside for signs of water if there is dry them quickly. 4. Airbags and side airbags, are crtitical because a miniscule change in resistance ( due to corrosion in the terminals) will trigger the airbag warning light. 5. Same applies for the Airbag Control unit, but this is normally mounted in the central area near the gearshift, so it won't be low on the floor.. 6. IT will be worth to do this , even if it takes a couple of hours more , to ensure the electrical system has not been compromised. and get nasty surprises in the future. Anyway it is good news... just double check everything ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 do they stop it cutting across your neck then? Or maybe my seats too low? Or maybe they don't expect 5ft 6 people to drive it? Not sure about the JDM models and you may have already done this, but on the UK cars the support for the top of the seat belt is on a ratchet and moves up/down through ~30 degrees. Move it to its lowest position - worked for my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Great News Nixy! The seatbelt thing was discussed not long ago see here, I think the solution was to buy a tiddy bear: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... tiddy+bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 the seat belt cuts across my neck and is not adjustable, is there anything I can do about that? I find seat belts acutely uncomfortable in just about every car, so I just never wear them. I think it's more dangerous to be constantly distracted by the seat belt instead of being comfortable and paying attention to my driving. I can't remember how long it is since the seat belt law came in but I have never been done for not wearing it. Then again, speed cameras can't get you for that sort of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember someone being done for just that, although I could be wrong. My memory isn't what it used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 god I can't imagine not wearing a seat belt - it's like second nature to put it on. I would never drive without one, not even up the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek_ZR Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I would never drive without a seat belt. Been in two serious accidents when I was younger (both my fault) and would have been badly injured if not for wearing seat belt. Funnily enough the taxi driver I hit for the first one wasn't wearing a seat belt as they didn't need to and his car ended up in a woman's garden as he lost control - the gate he went through landed in her hallway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
