nah only 2 wires scotty.

i bet they did the resistor trick

$200 sounds expensive for the resistor trick.... Didn't work on mine when I tried tho. I still have to try the airbag module that you sent me Iain; fingers crossed.

It does sound expensive. But it does work. I've got a resistor on my drivers side, and the module on the passenger side. It definitely works though - no illuminated lights over here :)

That's great it worked for you, and I was hoping for the same result but no such luck. My resistors cost $0 - the lady at Jaycar just gave them to me, so I had nothing to lose.

It is well worth a try for anyone with the cursed flashing light.....

What was the resistance you used Dunc?

Theyre unfortunately heat shrunk/boxed in - it was fitted before I bought the car. I'll see if I can remember to take it apart in a couple of weeks when I get back to Australia and let you know

need the seat replaced. already done one in a PM35. there is a airbag ram in the base of the seat and the explosive device has died.

its nothing to do with the diagnostic routine you guys are doing and in fact it renders half the system useless when in fault mode. not the sort of thing you want when you smack something at speed.

if i could be of anyhelp if these codes im from nz and am a auto electrician and have had a few of these through it isnt the seat itself that fails unless the part is missing by pass the plug as there is high resistance in the plug by pass it under the seat and hey presto no more problems

So I was driving the other day, 100kmh and then ......... the dreaded srs light illuminated, thank god its still under dealer 3 month warranty. I have it booked in tomorrow for diagnosis as I dont want to work on the car if I have warranty, will let you know what they find.

Ok, They found a pin backed out on a connector under the passenger seat and the code was "circuit in passenger seat module", 650kms so far and light hasn't come back on. But I am skeptical that has fixed the fault and think the light will come back on as soon as I am out of warranty haha.......Thoughts?

i rekon youll be fine

if they pushed the pin back into the plug, it shouldnt come out again unless for any reason its removed.........

First they just reset the code and couldn't get the light to come back on, on road test. Then they put a passenger in it and roadtested (joyride maybe?pinch.gif ) and then got the light to come back on.

Fingers crossed

sounds like a loose connection

there are plugs under the seats, one above the glovebox (there is a fold down partition in the top) and the plug behind the steering wheel

i rekon one is loose or dirty. also in the middle of the car is the SRS unit. check all the plugs. youll need to remove the centre console to get to it.

Ok, so this might be coincidence but I think I've had a win with my airbag light. It has been flashing for about two weeks since I went to the Sakura picnic. I tried the reset procedure a few times but with no success, then this morning after my daughter complained she had no room for her legs I tilted the seat forward a touch. After I had dropped her off I started the car and airbag light gone! Now I remember at the picnic laying the seat fully back to have a kip in the afternoon and I'm pretty sure the light started when I left. I see a lot of talk about the problem being with the airbag seat rams? Am I on to something here or did I just get lucky? When was the last time you put your seat through it's full range of motion? Might be worth a try.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
