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.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
