A seat belt that will not retract in a 1993 Altima might be twisted in the mechanism on the floor of the vehicle. This part of the seat belt mechanism should be taken apart and inspected. If possible, try pulling it out as far as it will go and then see if it will retract.

Pull off the panal that houses the belt and check for twisting or binding.
Have you tried to allow the belt to fully retract? The belt is designed to 'engage' the locking mechanism when fully extended -- you'll hear a 'click' when it reaches the end of it's reach. This is all so you can use the belt to secure in a child seat without using any extra clips and such. Pull the belt all the way out, hear the click, route it 'round and through the proper channels of the seat, pull it tight, and the mechanism will keep the belt tight and from losening, holding the seat secure. To release the lock, allow the belt to fully retract.

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and the driver side seat beat would not retract. I loosen up the trim that covers the seat belt thing and then the seat belt retracted on it;s own. I also adjusted the height of the shoulder harness. so am not sure which one actually fixed it. I am just glad it works because i have to get an inspection sticker and the seat belts have to be working . I live in mass.
