"exploding shot gun blast seat restraint that only activates in an accident" vs "basic seat belt functions THAT ALL CARS HAVE " , thats why i asked the question
seat belts need to work on a basic level , i dont care about the luxury of explosive safety devices....

Seat belt pretentioners with pyrotechnics or electric motors is pretty much standard on all cars today.
It was first introduced by Mercedes Benz in the 1981 S-Class, so it's nothing new or special for the S2000.

SRS light on=all systems inoperative, EXCEPT the pendulum device in the retractor (locks the seat belt in its current state when it detects rapid decal in a straight line)
When the belt retractors are fired via SRS command, the seat belt reverses/retracts tight instantly, keeping you in the seat, and not smashing you all over the inside of the car. It supports your body, the airbag saves your neck.
In a collision, you will be killed.
In my car, I have bridged the driver's airbag connection (mugen steering wheel) while the passenger airbag and seatbelts remain active.
If you remove the SRS system, you should have harnesses and a HANS device.

I should have said “may be killed in certain types of collisions”
Yes you can have the retractors operational with no airbags. In my case, it is a simple ATM 2amp fuse for the drivers air bag. You may be able to utilize this on the passenger side as well.

It might look like a fuse but there should be a resistor inside it, usually 2.2 ohms.
