Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Z Cars / February 2004350Z Seat Belts
Have any of the 350Z owners noticed some discomfort with the seat belts? Maybe it's just me, but the darn belt is a bit tight and uncomfortable across the shoulder. I am a tall, thin guy - - so girth is not the problem. I put one of those padded seat belt cushions at the shoulder area and it helps. However, I would prefer not to have to use it. Should I have my car checked by the dealer, or is this problem common with all 350Z's?? I notice if you just up buckle the belt it flies right into the glass... and even puts little dents in the door. anyone notice that? > Have any of the 350Z owners noticed some discomfort with the seat belts? > Maybe it's just me, but the darn belt is a bit tight and uncomfortable > across the shoulder.

And after what you just posted, I'm afraid to try. If a state trooper is nearby though, I'll probably buckle up temporarily. > I notice if you just up buckle the belt it flies right into the glass... and > even puts little dents in the door.

Wearing seatbelts because it's the law is a secondary point. It's a fact that your chances of dying or at the very least being seriously injured in an accident when not wearing seatbelts are very high. You must be young and think of yourself as invincible. > I haven't used my seat belts yet. I hate seat belts. And after what you > just posted, I'm afraid to try.

Your are absolutely right about the need for seat belts. In addition, if you are involved in a serious accident and your insurance company suspects that you were not buckled up, the company assumes no responsibility. > Man, I'm sorry to hear you say this.

I started wearing seat belts religiously when the law first went into effect (after two tickets for not wearing one). I am at the point now where I feel completely uncomfortable without one. It makes me feel like I am part of the car, and that the car is more of an extension of me when I have a seatbelt on. With all of the statistics out on seatbelt safety, I feel you are an idiot for not wearing one. It is an ignorant decision. You could easily die in a 30 MPH collision without a belt on ... or worse ... you could become paralyzed, or brain dead, or both ... and you would wind up being a tremendous burden on your family. What a damn shame that would be. <I feel you are an idiot for not wearing one. It is an ignorant decision. you would wind up being a tremendous burden on your family. f.ck you. I don't even have a family. How's a guy supposed to reach back to the drink holder to swig from his beer bottle anyway with the god damn seat belt fastened? > spydercryder@yahoo.com says... > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > being a tremendous burden on your family.

There were two pig cruisers sitting real close to my car when I came outta the auto parts store so I buckled up until I got to the grocery store. > nahh dude... lol you gota use your seat belts man... > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > car > > > > checked by the dealer, or is this problem common with all 350Z's?? Be proud? And splattered all over the road if you ever get into an accident... Hate to sound like a PSA commercial, but buckle up. I think we have enough proof that seatbelts help you NOT FLY OUT OF WINDOWS. Nick > Wore my seat belt for the first time today.

Not that what your saying is true... but once I got into a accident in Quebec city. the snow slid the car and the car started to twirl. I hit the sidewalk on the drivers side... flew out of the car (since some how the door opened) went into a snow bank and the car wrapped around a tree. the driver's side didn't exist anymore. So I guess if I had that belt on I would be dead. But in general... you should keep it on. > Be proud? > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > > > > car > > > > > > checked by the dealer, or is this problem common with all 350Z's?? kinglifer@yahoo.com says... > Not that what your saying is true... but once I got into a accident in > Quebec city. the snow slid the car and the car started to twirl.

IOW, *everyone* should wear their seat belt ... PERIOD Some cop cars have computers in them...maybe the cops were on the Internet, reading through alt.autos.nissan and saw your post about not wearing your seatbelt. They then "lurked" near the auto parts store to catch you. ;-) John D. > Wore my seat belt for the first time today.

Or when you go to put it on it gets jammed between the side wall and the seat back, because the buckle is just wide enough to jamb up. > I notice if you just up buckle the belt it flies right into the glass... and > even puts little dents in the door. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >>checked by the dealer, or is this problem common with all 350Z's?? Very true... very true. if you use a padded arm rest kinda keeps it from happining. > Or when you go to put it on it gets jammed between the side wall and the > seat back, because the buckle is just wide enough to jamb up.

I not only got the pad but bought a seat belt extension which alleviated a lot of tension. rob > Very true... very true. if you use a padded arm rest kinda keeps it from > happining.
