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

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
