When I had a dying battery, mine would throw the Airbag light several times a day.

New battery sorted it.

Reset the fault and see how you go.

Edited by Daleo

I have a consult III unit here that tells me which airbag is at fault, as well as errors from every other ecu in the car. Seems to work well from my testing and should work on any Nissan, even the older consult rectangle plugs.

Anyone interested in a group buy?

How much were they?

I know which airbag caused mine - the steering wheel one when I did the cruise control. Reconnected the airbag properly, and it didn't go away. I also didn't reset the fault, figured it'd go away like a CEL.

Probably around $400 shipped Ryan, depending how many we get. Beware, there are a few different types out there, I have tried a few now. Some are just standard obd2 readers, some are more like a consult III clone.

Anyone in Melbourne can drop down here for diagnostic repairs now. :)

Thanks for the replies lads. So it's a common occurence for other m35 owners too...

I was just suprised the light come on in the dash unprovoked / without any collision / stuffing around with any interior bits & pieces. I just jumped in to go for a drive on Friday night, and now it just flashes away as I drive.

Come to think of it - the only thing I remotely touched (that may be close to airbag plugs or something) was the mass storage and iPod connectors that sit in my glove box for the stereo. Gave them a bit of a yank just to access them.

Will check for any electrical plugs and the sort that may be responsible tonight.

If still no go, might give the error code reading a go over the weekend, and see if I can clear it. Unfortunately me and diagnostic functions arent very familiar with eachother; knowing me I may kill something!

Cheers

The main SRS box is under the centre console, but there is the passenger side airbag connector above the glove box. Maybe the stereo leads were wound around the airbag cable?

Had a look after work today; spotted a plastic connector with orange wires that sits above a little compartment in the top center of the glove box. All looked in tact from a glance. Just made sure the wiring on the plug wasn't twisted or damaged. The stereo leads were however tucked a little snug around this plug, so i just freed them and fed them through into the glove box away from the plug in question. Managed to clear the airbag light using a method posted in another thread, but went for a drive a short time ago and sure enough the bastard is flashing again... Might need to look at full diagnostic mode to get codes. Blah...

Yeah mate, that guide will help get the door apart. They are sooks tho, saying you need a 2nd person to hold it while the other unplugs the wires - bah!

Sweet. Cheers!

Is there a fuse for EACH speaker? Just wondering if its a blown fuse...

Any idea if the splits will continue to work if I replace the 6.5" speakers only?

Hey guys,

Not sure where else to post this but thought I'd let you know. There's an '03 M35 (that looks in ok nic) being wrecked for $25 in Adelaide on Gumtree.

Surely this sort of thing wouldn't happen to C34's.. ;p

The whole car isnt going for $25, I can assure you of that :) The company in question that have that car have typically charged an arm and a leg for any parts off the M35's they bring in to the country for wrecking. A free ad on gumtree is just a simple & cheap way of getting the word out they're doing it again :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
