They don't seem to be included in last week's compulsory recall. https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/compulsory-takata-airbag-recall/takata-airbag-recalls-list#id12

I'm not aware if Nissan issued a previous voluntary recall, but go here and run your VIN to check: http://www.nissan.com.au/owners/owner-information/takata-airbag-recall

Good info!

Hi guys, I just saw a recent episode of 60 Minutes about Takata's exploding airbags so jumped on the IMABS website to see if our cars are affected and got the below message advising that it's unrecognised our their database possibly because it's an import so I rang Nissan and after a few transfers got to a public relations department and they couldn't advise definitively if our cars are affected or not because it's an older grey import. 

I don't know. I'm a bit concerned and was wondering if anyone has had any luck in finding out further details?

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

I have a 1996 R33 GTR and 1999 R34 GTR.

Anyone with similar care having got the all clear? I have rung Nissan several times and they have not been forthcoming.

If your car is an import Nissan Australia won't give a shit. That's how it works.

I have a 96 R33 twin airbag, rang Nissan Australia and spoke to customer relations. Gave them the Aussie VIN and Nissan original chassis number and got the all clear on that one.

Old Rev Head seems to have had some luck.

Aussie vin. I take that as being an Aus delivered car in which case they do care.

Car was imported to Australia 15 years ago by my father, and was first registered here 3 months ago, (don;t ask that's for another time). The 6U number is stamped into the body by the RAWS when it gets to Aus to comply with A.D.R. laws.

Can SAU write to Nissan as a club or try contacting them as I don’t know about others, but I hate uncertainty and I’ve tried contacting them and as some have corrected said they don’t give a damn about grey imports. 

Like most, I don’t want to lose an eye or have half my face mangles by an airbag that’s suoopsss to safe lives. 

It took half a minute to find this info:

which leads to:

Search. Confirm. Relax (or freak out depending on the results)

I'll make this an easy-to-find link on the site. Thanks for posting.

simply just too old

has any ever had their 90's era car air-bag go off? wondering if they even work at all

 

Edit: I've hit a few kangaroos and never set anything off, but not sure how much of an impact is required.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
