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 :)

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
