Legal to Use Airbags From a Flood Damaged Write-Off??

Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a flood damaged statutory write-off to use as a donor car for parts to repair my repairable write-off.

I would like to use the airbags from the statutory write-off but I can't seem to find any concrete information regarding the legality to do so.

The flood damage is freshwater that only made it to floor pan level and the airbags themselves remained dry and will function as normal. Once the car is fixed it will be inspected in Queensland.

Wondering if someone's had the same experience or knows the legality of this?

Thanks

I have no idea on the legaltity of parts that come from a stat write off, other than to point out there is no way you, any buyer, any engineer or inspector would know a part came from a stat write off.

Man, is this some kind of SEO spam thing again? If not, I apologise and shall excuse myself.

- First post - check

- Zero relation to Skylines - check

- Odd formatting because of copy pasted content - check

- A bunch of other forums with pretty much identical posts by first posters - check

:(

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
