Hi all,

First off, apologies if I've posted this incorrectly and it should be under a DIY thread!

I'm a UK based owner of a 2001 NM35 Stagea and I'm trying to learn how to keep the car maintained myself, and am enjoying the learning process!

I had a couple of issues (that might be linked?) that I was hoping to get advice on.

Firstly my airbag light has been flashing regularly for over two months now. I'm assuming this is an electrical issue. Its irritating but I've just left it until now, but have my MOT due at the end of the month so should probably deal with it! Could this just be a fuse? Has anyone had other experience of problems that might cause this?

Secondly, my windscreen wiper jets have stopped working, which again I assume to be electrical. There is no noise when I activate them which i think rules out a blockage... Is this a common part to go wrong or might it be a fuse too?

I've gone out and bought a multimeter in anticipation of both these being fuse problems, but just wanted to get people's thoughts on whether there is anything else I should be looking for?

Finally, where would I find the fuse boxes for the the airbag and the windscreen wiper jet motor? And also as a really rookie question,  are there any suggestions for where to buy replacement fuses in the UK? I often find it really tricky to source parts for the Stagea over here as it is just not as popular as over in Australia! If it's just a generic car fuse ignore this last question,  as I said I'm still new to this! ?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Cheers,

Raven

The small fuses are just common fuses. Haven't got an M35 but in C34 they are just behind a little coin holder that pulls out. Check any connections under the front seats.

Hi

Airbag lights are common, 99.9% of the time, its the Seat Weight module/plug thing, under the driver and passenger seat. Have a play with it to see if it goes away, IF NOT, put a resistor in.

Washer Jet is either the motor is dead or the plug is not plugged in.

Most parts of your car are similar/same to the V35 Skyline/Infinity

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
