dont quote me, but if the system finds a fault, no airbag will deploy in the event of an accident.

therefore, no error lights will deploy the required airbag (assuming you have one connected).

so putting the resistor in the place of the airbag will stop the fault code and the system will act 'normally'

That would be my understanding also; obviously if theres no sensors other than the ones in the seat - then the bags will never go off if you've put a resistor in its place.

i dont think there is a sensor in the seat

its a ram that tilts the seat backwards........ i think

for people with the safetly pack, there are bags in the ouside edge of the seat too.

I've got one sitting on my desk at home, I havent the foggiest idea how it operates - I assumed it was a sensor of some description (the warning on it is DO NOT DROP so I figured it worked as G/shock Sensor), but it could well tilt the seat in the event of a crash. I'll take some photos of it tonight

Here's my understanding of this after lots of research & trying various "solutions".

The ram/s under the seats are to stop submarining in the event of an accident. They could tilt the seat as Iain suggested or, as I'm led to believe, push the front foam cushion up under your thighs to stop you sliding forward into the footwell. Same result in the end. I can't actually tell physically where they live under the seat since mine are gone & I just have the yellow connectors swinging in the breeze.

The fix that has worked on some cars (notably GTRs) was for a 2.2 ohm resistor, but this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ht-t340591.html shows guys going for this u-turn harness http://gt-rr.com/pro..._harness&id=761.

I actually bought these ones http://www.tunersgro...rn_harness.html for my M35. They even took exact details of my car to make sure of compatibility.

The interesting thing is they don't show up any resistance when measured with a mutimeter......

The result? Nothing worked in my case :mad: , but I would be happy to send the Works Bell u-turn harnesses to anyone who wishes to try them out.

I'm still waiting on a spare SRS module from some guy with a wrecked one, just to see if my problem is bigger than the harness can fix.

i think you mean you plugged it in :P

on my electric seats, there is a clip holding the yellow plug into the back of the ram. looks like it can pop off easily. pull your seats out guys, might be a simple fix like above!!

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
