R34 Safety Options

[sweefu]

Hey,

I have been reading on here alot over the last 6 months or so. I am looking to buy an R34 GT-T 4 door in the next year, and i'm wondering what the safety options were. Looking at import websites they seem to often have an air bag but nothing more.

Were dual front air bags and ABS brakes an option? Are 4 door GT-T with these safety options hard to come by?

Thanks,

Anthony.

My 4 door has passenger side airbag, ABS. GTT should have Traction control also. N/A one doesn't. My one doesn't as it's a n/a with a GTT Engine in it.

Mine is a late 2000 Series II - I do not know if this affects anything any

That's awesome thanks mate, just what i wanted to hear!

So i shouldn't have too much trouble finding an R34 GT-T manual with safety options?

From the original R34 sedan brouchure (Series 1). Safety features.

- Dual front airbags.

- Optional front side airbags (rare)

- Xenon headlights on GT-X and GTt-X models. (sometimes removed for compliance).

- Traction control on all GTt and GTt-X models.

- Snow mode on non-turbo auto models.

- Heated mirrors.

- Rear wiper.

- ABS with EBA and EBD.

- ATTESA on AWD models.

- Anti-fog coated windscreen, mirrors and rear windscreen. (I'm pretty sure this coating would have worn out by now...)

- Windscreen coated with rain repellant. (I'm pretty sure this coating would have worn out by now...)

- Safety flares (most are missing by the time the car gets to Aus. and "probably" removed for compliance - I'm really not sure where they go...)

- Anti-bacterial door and grab handles (???? *no idea*)

... almost forgot...

- Seatbelts with pre-tensioners.

Haha this is awesome, thanks very much iseekool for the info. Some of the less important features are half the reason i'm swapping from Commodores to Imports .. they are so much more thought out and better planned, and much more 'engineered' if you get what i mean.

Cheers!

...don't quote me but im pretty sure after a certain year all cars were to come standard with airbags...

i think ...1996 or 97?

I "think" driver's side airbag has to come standard on all cars after '97 - but this is 3rd hand info I've heard.

Dual airbags (or more) are not compulsary even nowadays.

Now I just have to work out how to remove the traction control (hopefully on a switch) and ABS from mine. Drivers airbag will be pulled off when the new steering wheel goes on

I had a safety flare in mine, until my car went through a defect inspection and the inspector confiscated it saying it should have been removed at compliance.

I really want it back

You realise all of these changes will make the car defectable right? The traction control has a switch to turn it off anyway - and 666DAN can supply a box to make it off by default (and switch to turn it on).

Removing ABS and airbag for anything but a track only car is just silly IMO (as well as illegal). Why would you want to compromise the safety of your car?
