If the R34's are the same as the R33's, sometime the airbag light will flash if the battery has been disconnected.

To reset it, the procedure on the R33's was to press the driver door switch (for the interior light) seven time within 10 seconds of turning the ignition on - sounds wierd I know, but it works on the R33's lol

If it keeps flashing it could be two things - the reset procedure is different on the R34's, or something is stuffed :D

when u open and close your drivers door the interior light goes on or off, the bottom sil where your scuff plate iss near the rear door hinges will have a little switch with a rubber cover on it, pushing it in and out turns the interior light on and off. Exactly the same as your fridge door.

I think thats what he was refering to?

hey guys... i just tried this trick and it worked!!!!!!!!!

this was really buggin me! I thought my car had been in an accident and the airbags weren't replaced haha.

so a quick question: if there really is a fault, we could expect this little reset process to not have any effect? ie the airbag light would continue flashing?

Anyone know what the various flashing patterns etc indicate? Some people are reporting their light just stays constantly on.

I had the same issue on my 89 Stagea. I fixed it by Holding down the door light switch, turning the ignition to ON, then releasing and pressing the button 5 times. I turned the ignition off, then on again, and it worked. So I suppose 7 or 10 or more would work as well.

Yes if theres actually an error it would continue flashing once you tried to restart your car

your resetting the SRS computer by doing this... the steering wheel may of been taken off at some stage or someone shorted one of the SRS wires

As the car has been sitting around for the last 5 months and I have been working on it alot to get it ready for the blue slip the battery has been going flat. I have had to jumpstart it a fair few times in the last few weeks, could this be the cause of the problem?

I know taking the car to the dealership sounds like the best soultion yet Im a little worried in driving the car 20mins to nissan seeing as its unregistered.

I can fix it for u $50 the proper way i got the machine that fixes it will cost u $70 i come to u , Machine cost me $12k, also can clear any other faults or codes if you want , all for one price but i dont travel out of sydney. Also resets the airbag module so in case you do get in an accident your airbag will deploy if interested let me know . My email is [email protected]

Can you reset the SRS airbag light prob on an S2 R33 GTS25T with a PFC ?

You guys are absolutely magic! I just got my car back after having all my mods done (4 weeks of not being started), and we had to jump start

the car. The air bag light came on flashing while driving.

Put up with it for a few days, and then found this on SAU! You guys are absolute champions!

My car is also a S2 R33.

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks guys, I remember why I joined SAU!!

I have booked myself in with Nissan have this problem fixed next week after having the car of the road for ages, but thought I should try something else.

Sure enough this trick worked. Had to do it a couple of times first time I got it to work it went from flashing fast to slow & then after the second attempt it went out all together

Going to call Nissan tomorrow & tell them where to stick it (I spent over $3k in parts & they were still going to charge me $66 for 2 minutes work!)

Cheers,

Jared

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
