sqweekykneecap Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 "The 1974 models also got the new U.S.-government-mandated seat belt/ignition interlock, a system that prevented the driver from starting the car unless the safety belts of occupied seats were fastened." -http://auto.howstuffworks.com/nissan-z-history3.htm- Has any one encountered this Magnificent Mandated technology that the government tried to poise on us back then? also, how would i be able to bypass this? thanks -zach and im looking at a 74 260Z -reason for my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio61 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 '74 260's (I just parted one out) do have a seat belt control unit and wiring to both the seatbelt buckles, however I have never seen one of these systems in service. I assume (most) everyone did away with this piece of DOT genius long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFancypants Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have it on mine (it's in the owner's manual), but it has always started without the belts fastened, so a previous owner must have disabled it. I would expect like any other sensor you can just wire it closed. Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
