Skidmore Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hey guys I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT Crossover and got a weird safety feature, with any loss of traction all the seatbelts that are active tighten up to the point of feeling like being choked. Does anyone has that and/or know how to disable it? Thanks P.S my traction control is unplugged/disabled Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/474801-seat-belt-tightens-up-when-loss-of-traction/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
niZmO_Man Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I see no problem with this. Why is your seat belt going across your throat?

Skidmore Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Its not its just gets really really tight, to the point that you can barely move.

The Max Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ah, so you're just being suffocated like a bear hug across the chest. Well, as Nick has made clear, it's a safety feature. Take a deep breath before you decide to do a skid.

Bullshit. You should not have to move your torso to steer. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/474801-seat-belt-tightens-up-when-loss-of-traction/#findComment-7884437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with 4 point harnesses are they are rubbish, I would prefer the OEM 3 point. Reason: to have it tight enough I found the lap section would pull up to my guts, sure it held me in position, but was uncomfortable, and in the event of a front end prang, I think there's a good chance that you would end up in the foot well, aka "submarine". A 3 point negates this by letting part of your upper body to shift forward, 5/6 point uses your crutch area, I vote for the 6 point in this regard. IMO you either go OEM or 6 point.

niZmO_Man Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'm interested in how the seat and steering wheel are adjusted. And also what sort of driving conditions you're getting into that a tightening seat belt hinders your ability to steer.

With your shoulder pushed hard into the back of the seat extend your arm ...if you can't get the heel of your palm(s) on the top of the steering wheel you are too far back to exert proper control. People spend $$$ on bucket seats and race seats so that their bodies don't move about while throwing the car around. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/474801-seat-belt-tightens-up-when-loss-of-traction/#findComment-7884721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
