Hey guys,

Have searched a lot but mainly can only find how to turn an airbag light off not on!

My r33 air bag light wont turn on, factory airbag steering wheel, the bulb in the speedo cluster is fine and has been swapped for a good one to double check, all the circuits are good and all other speedo lights work except the airbag light, and now i can't get a warrant to make it street legal here without it turning on

Is could I so a scan on it to get an answer? Or any connections etc I could follow to see if there plugged in right? (Even though the light should be on if that was the case?)

Just looking for my ideas if possible, thanks!!

If its a standard car with standard ECU he can run the diagnostic and see if it throws any Airbag related codes. If not and the thing is fine, he can always trace the wire back or dodgy the wiring to get it to light up. Doesn't it light up momentarily though, on ignition?

Airbag will come on for about 1~2 seconds as it does its checks, it checks for resistance in the 2x front seat belt pretensions, 2x airbags and crash sensors. Then once it's all good the light turns off..

If it's not coming on, there's a fault there.. Remove your centre console, see if the module is even there.

Then I would work back from there.

if everything is working fine and your using the stock wheel, why would you expect the light to be on? it will only turn on if there is a fault

it turns on during it's start up diagnostics

Yup

Module next to the handbrake > swap it with someone else's > see if the light comes on momentarily as you turn the ignition on.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
