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

Southern Highlands NSW.

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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
