I'm finding I'm having to reset the Air bag light every 3-4 weeks. Is this usually a symptom of a faulty connector or something more serious? I presume if a module is faulty, it would throw a code straight away.

I somehow got the airbag light into a diagnostic mode and it flashed once and then ten times and repeats. I couldn't find any reference to this code anywhere. Anybody know what this code refers to?

Thanks

Get it on a Consult 3 unit, that way you can get a description of the fault. I think the seat switch contacts play up occasionally. These can be shorted I think, my aftermarket rails came with a plug in module, but it showed zero resistance when i measured across the pair of wires.

Does yours have 4 yellow wires in the plug under the seat, or only two? Some have an anti dive ram in the seat, some don't.

I couldn't clear mine manually using the procedure you used, my airbag light flashed for many years before I bought the consult3, that cleared it instantly and it has never come back.

Purchased Nissan Datascan and an adaptor and read the codes. (works well with the 300GT)

Came up with a B1166 which I gather to be LH side (passenger) floor harness or seat belt pretensioner.

So what are the chances that its just a bad connector?

Thanks

Ive had the flashing light for a week now. Did both man resets several times the most they last is a day. Took it Michael at Revolution electronics and he ran a scan. It detected a fault with the "clock spring" at the base or the main airbag. A new one costs $200 from Nissan and is on order.

I was curious if anyone else has experienced this? I cant see too many here that have it.I had issues with my drivers seat 4 months ago but the scan found nothing there ) maybe that triggered it. Michael says seat belt pretensioner/ clock springs are common with cars this age. Mines a late 05.

Mechanics are good at lines like that to stop you questioning them.. clock springs aren't a big issue in general for all cars. my J30 maxima was 18 years old when it died and it never had clock spring problems. and plenty of 10+ year old cars with seatbelt pre-tensioners that aren't having issues either.

I know the seat base harness is a common source of SRS faults on the V35.

Hi Scott- I saw the scanner code detected was the one for clock spring so I have to go with that. Mine is series 2- 11/2005. I dont know if you can rely on an airbag component being second hand ?.other than door looks been brilliant for the 7yrs I ve had it.Is it something anyone can install or safer bet to leave to expert?

Thanks

Well so much for that- plugged in my old seat belt buckle (broken clip) and did another manual reset and the Airbag light is gone..Now its in to Nissan & Nissan Only - now what are the chances of getting my $75 back for the scan...did i hear whistles..

Were you being sarcastic?. As I said it doesnt look like the clock spring after all- because plugging in my broken old buckle & doing a reset cleared the airbag warning light!.

Maybe its a temp thing but I will hold off & just replace my buckle from nissan $77.00

For the clock spring Nissan quoted $198 ex gst. Did someone take $100 to fit it

no i was charged 315 dollars from northside nissan for just the part , a mate fitted it , from my experience the clock spring is main issue for flashing light, once the spring is replaced youll have to do the reset process, if your steering wheel has been removed in the past ,then the spring would be high on my list of possible faults

I could do a clock spring from an 80,000k Stagea for $100. As I said, I have never had to replace one, and I have had my steering wheel off countless times, as well as customer cars in for cruise control installs etc.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
