Bodykit And Airbags

[Adz2332]

Not sure if this is the place to post this question, but...

Im looking at getting a new bodykit etc and thats all good. But the other day my mate had a big accident and wrote off his BA falcon. Major major front end damage. His model came out with 6 air bags and not one of them went off. They looked into this and found that the car had a aftermarket bodykit put on before he bought the car. And the reason the air bags didnt go off was either the sensors were moved changed or removed... Where are the air bag sensors in the R33 Skyline? And do you have to be careful when adding a bodykit? Has anyone come across anything lik this?

Thanks

stange no one has replied.. However they sit infront of the raditor .. depending how your mate hit what he did also effects the air bag being deployed..

My sister wrote of her car by running up the ass of a taxi (i h8 taxis so HAHA!) now .. she was locked up and sliding with her nose down .. on a hyunadi accent the airbags are on the bottom of the radiator and she drove under the taxi .. so you can see why they didnt deploy.

Yes adding a body kit can effect air bag being deployed in a accident.. Ussually they are replaced ontop of the radiator where they are ineffective..

Well just ask them to install them back to they are functional. Ussually they sit infront of the radiator like I said but often changed for mods such as a kit or FMIC in that case they are ussually place somewhere stupid..

If you say its a main point they will work to find a solution, otherwise id take my car to another garage!
