dalelwilliams Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i have a 87 2dr v6, ive sold my 04 magnum now i need to make my pathfinder kid friendly. i am wondering if i could use a later model pathfinder rear seat with shoulder strap to replace the 87 lap belt. im making my 4year old daughter sit in full child seat because i dont feel comfortable with her in a booster seat and just the lap belt holding her in. any help would be greatly appreciated.

MY1PATH Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I almost did this mod, took all the stuff out of the donor and everything.... ...then I found out I didn't have my Wallet @ the JY. I never got back to it. center belt will still be a lap belt. I cannot remember if there are pre-existing anchors on the 2dr for the sholder reel and the loop for the strap up top so you may want to peel back your interior and look before you go further. Reel ends for the side belts will need to be removed from under the seats and the recievers from the sides of the seats (you can keep your stock seats) You will need the recivers from the donor (on webbing instead of metal tabs) and everything attached to the reel belt on the donor. Your interior pannels will have to be modified or removed and the donor sholder belt panels will not fit. I'm sure there is more but at least you have a direction. Keep us posted if you go thru with it. I may or maynot try again some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Worst case scenario, cut the mounting tabs (or whatnot) from the doner as well when removing everything and weld em in place, that is if you got a welder and are confident in your skills.

GrimGreg Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I don't remember seeing any mount points when I had all my inner panels out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) I did this in my 88 for the same reasons you are considering All I had to do was cut a hole/notch in the roof liner for the bold to pass through (mounts already there) and slot the side trim panels so the belt could pass through and down into the sides where the retracting device mounts. And yes, those mounts are also there. I also grabbed the belt retainers on the side panels to keep the belts out of the way when the seats are down., there is a molded in spot for this to properly clip into, on the side panels as well. It was obvious that Nissan had planned for rear should strap style belts when they originally designed the WD21's Edited May 20, 2010 by RedPath88 Added Pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ah, the mounts are way back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thatcis back there... I like it though (even if I never have anyone sitting back there. Generally got the seats folded down anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Duct tape helps that... Of course that solves the seatbelt issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frecklecolouredbrain Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Does Redpath have the fold-down arm rest in the back seat or are my eyes deceiving me. and was this an 87/88 thing only? My 89 doesn't have them but my back seat would be the cat's a$$ if i could get them. I remember my 87 having them back in the day.

RedPath88 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yes, my truck does have them, also adjustable backs on the rear seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yes, my truck does have them, also adjustable backs on the rear seats ajustble backs or ajustable headrests? all WD21 have ajustable seatbacks, Its the same lever you use to fold the seat foward.

Backs, and no, they don't all have them... in fact some of them don't even have a split bench in the back Parts truck I bought for the trans... Solid bench, has the lever but does not recline... only solid bench I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
