One of your airbag plugs are not fully pushed in. What airbag plug have you recently unclipped.

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

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.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
