Hi Guys,

Okay here it goes, i installed a new dash cluster only to find that the previous owner had disconnected the Air Bag light.

When i installed the new cluster the Air Bag light would flash on and off repeatedly.

Now since i am 99% certain that there was no accident history i began to wonder why this could happen?? Well i think i have the answer afer some searching.. :D

Click here

It seems as though the way to fix this is to reset the Air Bag ECU, very strange procedure:

You can get rid of it by...

Flashing ABS light reset

Key on door open

Key off

Key on

Hit the door pin switch 10 times

Will only work if light is flashing

Can someone explain this process in more detail please? what does each step mean?

Im sure this will be of help to other fellow S2 GTR Drivers some day!

Thanks,

Harry

best way is to check the fault with a scan tool

so you know what part of the SRS system is causing the control module to log a fault

but the steps you have listed above go like this

enter the car and close the door

turn the ignition on

open the drivers door and leave open

turn the ignition off

turn the ignition on

press the door pin 10 times (located on the bottom of the B pillar)

turn the ignition off

now when you turn on the ignition back on the SRS light should come on for 10 seconds and then turn off and stay off

ive got the same problem but mine is constantly on.

when i bought it, the previous owner told me he removed the steering wheel to boss kit on, only to realise theres a different boss kit for air-bagged equipped steering wheels...and its a defect, so he put the original wheel back on and ever since the light is always on

ive tried the above procedure, but no luck (prob. coz my light isnt flashing)

any help guys??

any luck finding a solution?

my 33's had the airbag light on since i purchased the thing. it has had the standard wheel replaced with a momo wheel and boss kit. i've just purchased another airbag wheel but am hesitant to fit it incase there's a fault in the system which may sett the airbag off in my face and ruin my new wheel.

i cant be sure that the light is only on becase of the non standard wheel and not because of an accident which may have occured before i purchased the car.

any help????

if you fit it all up and the ignition is off it wont go off

and even if there is a fault logged it wont fire the bag

fit the wheel and airbag, turn on the ignition (make sure your out of the car) check to see if the light is still on

if it is

follow the above procedure

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
