Ok guys,

I know my car doesn't have airbags (least i think i know)...

there's no room...

1992 R32 GTS-t...

The drivers side flip down sun visor thingy has a labe that says SRS airbags... (could have been replaced easy)...

but at the front there is (what looks to be) 2 airbag sensors......

I thought it was an ambient sensor but there's 2 and they look like airbag sensors????....

can someone maybee post a pic of what the front should look like?

cheers,

Dave.

The airbag was optional on the later R32 GTR's, unsure about GTSt's. But mines a 1992 model and has the same visor, so I guess Nissan were planning on putting airbags in so just used one generic sunvisor with the srs warning on it to save costs.

The sensor wouldn't be in the visor - or are you talking about the dash?

If your car has airbags it will have an SRS warning light in the instrument cluster, just like all cars with ABS have an ABS warning light. But I'd say the visor would have been replaced as part of compliance, because jap visors are apparently dangerous and ours have much better levels of cushioning.

Don't go crashing your car to test if it has airbags now will you ;)

I've never heard of a visor being replaced for compliance, I'll have to take your word on that one ;)

*It could also be that every car gets the same visor - with the same printing, regardless of what it is optioned with

* whether it is legal or not, the japanese *seem* far less worried about ditching a factory airbag wheel

* it may be possible to work out what it was optioned with, by checking the #'s (tyre placard area? not sure, that's where it is on my rx7, never checked on the skyline) - I had a full list of option codes but I gave the magazine away to my brother-in-law - maybe it's been posted here before by someone

mine has the same label on the drivers side visor (all jap writing with SRS airbag being only in english)... it is a 93 R32 gtst. if it was put on during compliance it probably would have been an aussie visor hence there would be no jap writing on it, so my guess is it came out factory and nissan stuffed up..

not too sure what that chip/sensor thing that is on the dash near bottom of the windscreen on the passenger side. i have asked the question before on here and nobody could tell me....

my visor is the same

its a "sun sensor" for the climate control

my guess is it came from factory with the sticker and wud read on the label something along the lines of...." If vehicle fitted with srs airbag then....." dont know jap but wud be nice if sum1 can confirm my theory.

cauz they cant really guess how many cars will have air bag, therefore how are they suppose to know how much visors to manufacture ???

easier for factory to build all the same and put a sticker on.

what do u guyz reckon ???

Ok guys,

what about this bit in particular... the sun visor isn't such a big problem because as someone said it may say "if this vehicle is fitted with an SRS airbag...".....

I am more curious about the 2 airbag sensor lookie things behind the front bumper.....

Mines a 92 Type m and it doesnt have an airbag but does have the warning label. So it is safe to assume that all cars have the warning label, even if they dont have airbags.

What sensors are you talking about?

Whilst we are at it, can someone translate the other side, the vit about the exhaust temperature warning light?

airbags do not go off on externally mounted sensors.....they are triggered by either the seat belt storks being stretched or the belt itself.....there is also a seneor/module unit that sits underthe consol....thats all...no parts outside the car

I got a 1993 GTS and it has the airbag warnings too... and just recently I've found out that it was a GTS VSpec 2 (yes it exists my dealer warranty from japan says it to so its proof enough), which comes with a factory GTR steering wheel, so I dunno if it has or ever had a airbag in it.

But the sensor next to the windscreen is a climate control sensor... how do I know... well I took the dash off n forgot to plug it in and all my car did was blow hot air.

if u wanna no if it has airbags, just turn on tha car (without crnaking it) so that your dash lights up like a xmas tree...if it has airbags, there will be a SRS light, just like ABS, Hicas, 4Wd, oil, etc)

dont know abt those sensors, unless they were a parking sensor type gimick in japan, and tha previous owner took out tha in cabin control module, but i dont know why they would bother removing it.

Typo...

There was a GTS25t Type M "Spec I" and a GTS25t Type M "Spec II"... no GTS25t V-Spec Funky, sorry.

ooo ooo ooo for once you're not right and I'mma gonna enjoy this moment rezz ol pal :devil:

I just happened to have this in my glovebox in my car when I go it... scanned in a few low res scans for you... oh look it says GTS V Selection 2 :D

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
