can some one explain?....

[DJ984]

Ok guys,

I know my car doesn't have airbags (least i think i know)...

there's no room...

1992 R32 GTS-t...

The drivers side flip down sun visor thingy has a labe that says SRS airbags... (could have been replaced easy)...

but at the front there is (what looks to be) 2 airbag sensors......

I thought it was an ambient sensor but there's 2 and they look like airbag sensors????....

can someone maybee post a pic of what the front should look like?

cheers,

Dave.

The airbag was optional on the later R32 GTR's, unsure about GTSt's. But mines a 1992 model and has the same visor, so I guess Nissan were planning on putting airbags in so just used one generic sunvisor with the srs warning on it to save costs.

[Kinks]

The sensor wouldn't be in the visor - or are you talking about the dash?

If your car has airbags it will have an SRS warning light in the instrument cluster, just like all cars with ABS have an ABS warning light. But I'd say the visor would have been replaced as part of compliance, because jap visors are apparently dangerous and ours have much better levels of cushioning.

Don't go crashing your car to test if it has airbags now will you

[DaiOni]

I've never heard of a visor being replaced for compliance, I'll have to take your word on that one

*It could also be that every car gets the same visor - with the same printing, regardless of what it is optioned with

* whether it is legal or not, the japanese *seem* far less worried about ditching a factory airbag wheel

* it may be possible to work out what it was optioned with, by checking the #'s (tyre placard area? not sure, that's where it is on my rx7, never checked on the skyline) - I had a full list of option codes but I gave the magazine away to my brother-in-law - maybe it's been posted here before by someone

mine has the same label on the drivers side visor (all jap writing with SRS airbag being only in english)... it is a 93 R32 gtst. if it was put on during compliance it probably would have been an aussie visor hence there would be no jap writing on it, so my guess is it came out factory and nissan stuffed up..

not too sure what that chip/sensor thing that is on the dash near bottom of the windscreen on the passenger side. i have asked the question before on here and nobody could tell me....

[SupaFly Skyline]

my visor is the same

not too sure what that chip/sensor thing that is on the dash near bottom of the windscreen on the passenger side. i have asked the question before on here and nobody could tell me....

its a "sun sensor" for the climate control

[jvs007]

my guess is it came from factory with the sticker and wud read on the label something along the lines of...." If vehicle fitted with srs airbag then....." dont know jap but wud be nice if sum1 can confirm my theory.

cauz they cant really guess how many cars will have air bag, therefore how are they suppose to know how much visors to manufacture ???

easier for factory to build all the same and put a sticker on.

what do u guyz reckon ???

[unwritten law]

i think its a valid point....

is there somebody on here that can read jap??

[drift007]

i can read jap but its late here.... ill take a look tomorrow n post back

[DJ984]

what about this bit in particular... the sun visor isn't such a big problem because as someone said it may say "if this vehicle is fitted with an SRS airbag...".....

I am more curious about the 2 airbag sensor lookie things behind the front bumper.....

[moo_r32]

hey, my 1993 r32 gts-t has the same visor, and unless they made some dodgy air bags, i dont have one. had a crash 3 weeks after i bought it and nothing happend.?!

[DJ984]

yeah, i was told mine's a 93 but just assumed it was actually 92 so could be the same case.... but what about those sensor things, what are they?

[xRHETTx]

Mines a 92 Type m and it doesnt have an airbag but does have the warning label. So it is safe to assume that all cars have the warning label, even if they dont have airbags.

What sensors are you talking about?

Whilst we are at it, can someone translate the other side, the vit about the exhaust temperature warning light?

[Rezz]

Someone post up a pic of the warning labels and I'll sort it out...

[ylwgtr2]

airbags do not go off on externally mounted sensors.....they are triggered by either the seat belt storks being stretched or the belt itself.....there is also a seneor/module unit that sits underthe consol....thats all...no parts outside the car

[KamikazeR33]

fords have sensors in the front bar

just kick one and u will find out

[funkymonkey]

I got a 1993 GTS and it has the airbag warnings too... and just recently I've found out that it was a GTS VSpec 2 (yes it exists my dealer warranty from japan says it to so its proof enough), which comes with a factory GTR steering wheel, so I dunno if it has or ever had a airbag in it.

But the sensor next to the windscreen is a climate control sensor... how do I know... well I took the dash off n forgot to plug it in and all my car did was blow hot air.

[ultimatepowder]

if u wanna no if it has airbags, just turn on tha car (without crnaking it) so that your dash lights up like a xmas tree...if it has airbags, there will be a SRS light, just like ABS, Hicas, 4Wd, oil, etc)

dont know abt those sensors, unless they were a parking sensor type gimick in japan, and tha previous owner took out tha in cabin control module, but i dont know why they would bother removing it.

Typo...

There was a GTS25t Type M "Spec I" and a GTS25t Type M "Spec II"... no GTS25t V-Spec Funky, sorry.

[funkymonkey]

ooo ooo ooo for once you're not right and I'mma gonna enjoy this moment rezz ol pal

I just happened to have this in my glovebox in my car when I go it... scanned in a few low res scans for you... oh look it says GTS V Selection 2

anyways, back to the revelling... :Owned: :D
