LSX-438 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think it's all R35's (with the feature) but could be wrong. A tap like that could easily happen on the track, so i would be interested to hear from anyone that knows how to deactive the feature and/or replace with standard hinges?

Kujotk Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 in the uk their car/pedestrian safty rules are very very strict compared to ours. The idea is the soft bonnet will cussion some of the blow to the head nstead of the cusion being the engine block. Find out if your car has the feature here in OZ first of all, and if it does then this is going to be more than a "change hinges job", if you hit a pedestrian and insurance finds out you deactivated it, or lets say the pedestrian died and someone takes it to court saying you had deactivated it and that led to the death...... what then???? Fair enough most of us wont have an accident at all, and even less chance of it being a pedestrian..... but still, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/305892-is-this-applicable-to-all-r35s/#findComment-5059662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 yep, as far as I know ALL R35 GTRs have this "feature" as part of it's pedestrian safety gear. anyway you'd be mad not to have comprehensive insurance on an R35 and of course if something happens insurance will cover the replacement cost.

John D Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 AU spec R35's don't have this feature, 370Z does and not sure about 2010 spec R35. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/305892-is-this-applicable-to-all-r35s/#findComment-5061032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fungoolie Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 AU spec R35's don't have this feature, 370Z does and not sure about 2010 spec R35. Thats a relief. Safety Nazis going mad IMO. If you need to fit a feature like this that could trigger in a gentle parking accident at least make the result of the activation "reversible" so that rams can be recompressed and re-locked minimising the cost. And what's with replacing the ECU? That just ridiculous. Why would they need to generate a non resettable flag? At least airbags only trigger when you have an impact over a certain speed, not just a gentle tap that must've been at no more than 5KPH. Same principle should apply with a pedestrian safety feature. In fact Im sure you could use some intelligence in the sensing so that if the front receives an impact associated with a higher deccelation that would occur as a result of hitting a pedestrian then don't bother with the bonnet rams, you're clearly hitting something heavier than a person. After all I wouldn't want an unhinged bonnet slicing through my windscreen at head height if I hit another car.

ltcree Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 AU spec R35's don't have this feature, 370Z does and not sure about 2010 spec R35. Correct and we just had the first 10 spec 35 and it doesnt have it either.
