Can any one tell me for sure how the G Force sensor affects things?

I have an R33 GTR VSpec. When we left the G Force sensor out the ABS and 4WD light came on and neither the ABS or 4WD functioned anymore.

( I had been told it only affected the SRS airbags)

The G Force sensor indicator glass is red, supposedly this means it's suffered a major shock. Does this mean it's stuffed? When I plug it in the ABS and 4WD still work OK.

Where is the best place to egt one form if I need onw?

Please no guesses, only tell me if you know for sure, Thanks.

well what I know for sure:

G sensor in the console is not related to airbags in any way...they might have their own inside the airbag unit

When ATTESA sees a fault ABS stops as well. Not sure why but it does.

What makes you think the g sensor isn't working. Do you get front torque when everything is plugged in? Is the ATTESA light on?

The airbag sensors for driver and passenger airbags are inside the engine ecu or for newer cars the airbags can have their own unit. Im not sure what exactly the g sensor your talking about is but id say be very careful with it, if its an accelerometer they will break fairly easily from a small fall onto a hard surface or being hit with a tool whilst removed from the vehicle.

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
