I hope I posted this in the right section but I'm having a slight issue with my car & my wovi inspection, I got a call from them today to tell me that its all good there is no issue with the numbers & the repairs :) the only thing that we can pick is.... your airbag light on your cluster is not coming on like it should!! its should come on for 8seconds then turn off, gee I guess they check more then I thought.

Anyway I've tried searching but I can't find anyone with the same problem or issue I've got. The problem I'm having is it's not coming on at all, I removed the cluster when I got home only to find that there was no light/globe in their at all. So I removed the interior globe from the cluster & put it into the airbag spot to test that it is working however the fault remains & the light still won't come on. I've checked the fuse which was fine but I decided to replace it with a new one anyway, I've also disconnected the battery & re-connected but it still won't work.

When I brought the car their was an after market momo steering wheel on it which I guess is why it was removed, I have replaced it with a standard steering wheel & just recently had the clock spring replaced as the horn wasn't working also to pass the safety inspection.

The horn is now working as it should, but I'm not sure about the airbag other then crashing the car to find out lol.

Does anyone know or have any ideas what the problem maybe or how I can get this fixed without having to take it to Nissan, I'm knew to QLD & I don't know any auto electricians that won't charge the earth like the one I had to repair the horn...

I live near Brisbane so if anyone knows someone that they have used & can possibly recommend, it will be greatly welcomed :) all I want to do is get rego on my car so I can finally take it for a cruise & not just to & from inspections!!

i just wrecked a s2 r33 so have abs computer, clock spring, airbags and all sorts of spares. Try a scan tool id possible first but if u need spares let me know.

Did everything go back together as it should once you replaced the clock spring? Did the repalcement have the same letter on it as the one you repalced? They can vary and they are coded by a letter.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Chris for taking the time to drop round & scan my car today, I'm still a little in the dark lol however we were able to sort of narrow it down a bit. Will be definitely joining SAU QLD once I'm finally back on the road :) this site is worth its weight in gold. thanks again

its not in the airbag electronics we both know that. I suspect a bad connection on the cluster myself.

if I get a bit more time we can look further. today was scan the car and see what pops up.

Ok after some digging I've come across a photo, now comparing to the back of mine I don't have a wire running from the airbag terminal. I'm suspecting this maybe my issue.

If someone could confirm that there should be a wire connected & if they could let me know where it should be going too as the picture I have, doesn't seem to show the whole of the back of the cluster. Dam I don't seem to be able to upload the picture not sure what I'm doing wrong, anyway there is a wire connected on the back of the cluster to the airbag terminal but I can't see where it is connected to

I seem to have found out what I'm missing from my cluster, the part I'm looking for is the black connector for airbag globe that connects into the back of the instrument cluster, there as two wires that connect into the back of the globe which are also missing. If anyone has one spare that there not using & maybe want to sell or could possibly lend me so I can pass this inspection let me know otherwise I guess I will try & source one from Nissan, thanks in advance.

Thats some good news if you can help me out Chris, more the happy to drop it to you when your available. I could bring it out to any afternoon or evening just let me know when you might have sometime. I'm really hoping to get back to the inspection place this week & finally get it sorted.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
