Wow ggs - I rang Steve Jarvin Nissan myself and they confirmed exactly what Revolution said. 198+gst

Thanks Scotty but I might stick with a new one. If original lasted 9 years - no point gambling on another similar age. I was already paranoid of the 2nd hand buckle that I replugged the wiring of the original(broken clip) & reset, as well as pulling out the seat and checking all the plugs.

I really think this issue is related to our bad roads- really bumpy, and maybe thats just worked the tension free a bit in my case through some high speed stuff that or a faulty one or both :)

Fair enough. Things will get very costly replacing all your broken/worn parts with new ones. Perhaps it's time to ditch the car for a current model, just because it's old now...

Gambling on S/H parts... Anyway, if you want new you don't pay Nissan retail, get on to Amayama.

All I have to do is get a job before I start dreaming of a new one & whilst I like them- they dont appeal like the v35...Im certainly not sentimental at all about replacing if/when more faults start cropping up. My R33 was about 10 years when little things started failing so guess this is getting there

Mine started flashing on my way home from dinner tonight =(. Tried to reset it with the two methods above and it has now stopped flashing but still gives me a warning light when I turn on the ignition on but goes away after 10seconds or so. Will get it looked at in 500k's when it goes in for its 90,000km service.

Hi Lee, its exactly 7 seconds and hopefully it stays away for you too. When doing the resets you can actually hear the "clock". In the off position its every two seconds. I guess thats why you turn on after 4 on reset. Goodluck

Isn't it supposed to do that? mine always has.. the airbag light stays on after starting the car until it has comleted all system checks.

Yes but it stays on about 5-10 seconds longer then the other warning lights which it never used to before.

Still driving the car today and it hasn't started flashing again so seems to have done the trick (touch wood) but none the less I will get it checked next service which should be next month.

Sorry to hear. In my previous post . I actually typed "electrical things never go away until fixed".But deleted it because I didnt want to be the bearer of bad news so I deleted it..In my previous posts above you can see it did exactly the same.oh well at least you know for sure now.

Noooo just as I put my V35 on the market I get into my car this morning and the bloody airbag light starts flashing :(

Gold Coast Nissan don't touch imports apparently and I can't find other mechanics who have the system to clear the warning grrr

Sorry to hear it. Try the manual reset mentioned above that will clear it but most likely these things return.. Just an idea but maybe one of the compliers up their will have a scanner that can identify the problem if it returns.good luck

yeah was in a bit of a rush this morning when I tried to clear it using the steps mentioned and didn't work but just tried this afternoon and it cleared it by turning it on and off 4 times phew :cheers:

Now hopefully it wont come back before I sell it eek! Moving overseas and it has been an outstanding car since I've owned it and don't need the hassle of trying to get it fixed.

SRS is very annoying when it has problems. Can be anything.

Take a read at

For my car the seat belts were tampered so the indicator kept coming back whenever I pull the belt hard - but as the article said, a flashing indicator can be anything, clock springs, sensors, modules, belts.

My 03 coupe started to do this about 8 months ago. I don't recall what error code it was throwing up (something about a faulty sensor?) but my mechanic went through the whole system and couldn't find anything wrong. They also did the reset procedure and the light came back on after about a day.

I did the ECU reset procedure and it hasn't come back on since!

I know this is an old thread, but I know some had mentioned they hadn't see the anti-submarine rams, I had my drivers seat out yesterday to fix and intermittant connector and thought I would take some pictures. It is fairly tucked up inside the seat, but you can see a bit of it.

All photos were taken with the seat lying on its back, so the top of the picture is the front edge of the seat.

    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
