If you are going to play around with the air bag you MUST disconnect the negitive terminal from the battery first.

Also from memory the airbag is removed from the underside of the dash after you remove the glovebox. I don't think they just pop out.

Why do you think there is not a air bag in the dash? By law it would have to have one to be on the road and get complied.

Note: You should stay away from any wires that are wraped with a yellow tape or sleeving when the battery is connected as these are all part of the SRS

Good Luck ;)

If I just want to pop the cover off, should I remove the neg terminal?

My car has an aftermarket steering wheel which came fitted when it was imported from Japan. This leads me to believe either A, they legitimately wanted an AM wheel(for what ever stupid reason) or B the car was in an accident and the cover was just popped back on and the genuine wheel replaced with an AM wheel. There are no cosmetic or visual factors to determine an accident. This airbag thing will give me a solid base. The airbag light comes on, then turns off but its not hard to install a resistor to fool the system.

As i said above if you are going to touch anything to do with the SRS you should disconnect the negitive terminal.

Also unless something dodgy happend at compliance then it will not have been in a accident as they are not allowed to be imported if they have (someone correct me if i am wrong) Mind you if it has an aftermarket wheel then the compliance shop should not have passed it.

Well good luck and take the terminal off just to be safe hey. ;)

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
