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!!

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
