Pedestrian pop up hood system replacement after accident

Hey everyone, 

I've read quite a few articles and forums about this if not all of them, however I couldn't find anything that could help me. for a bit of context, I've had an accident and my pedestrian hood pop up system activated. I have replaced the actuators with resistors and replaced the module itself with a second hand one. However I still have the light on the dash, I've tried the pedal dance and tried clearing fault codes with a cheap scanned but nothing has worked. the light on the dash is solid unlike other instances when it flashes.

so my question is, what do I need to do now that I've replaced the actuators and the module, would the crash sensors store crash data and need replacement too? or do I need to find someone with a consult tool to reset the system? I don't think I can go to a dealer because I've replaced the actuators with resistors. 

I believe @The Max solved it by resetting the module's EEPROM, but I don't have any access to the equipment needed and don't really know anyone in Sydney that does that kind of service, anyone has an idea if someone like that exists?

Does the different module need to be paired with the BCM for it to talk?  Are you sure the resistors are the correct value to imitate the bonnet actuators?  The impact may have damaged one of the sensors behind the bumper too.

I doubt any sensor would have the ability to store data, you may need someone who can read the codes to determine what is triggering the light.

The pedal dance is really difficult to do with the push button start as it takes a second or so for the button to actually turn the ignition on/off, so you have to compensate for that when pressing the button after 'x' seconds.

Nissan Datascan III might work, it can read a lot of the components in the Q50 (but not all).

I'm not sure if it needs to be paired with the BCM or not tbh, there's really no information online or a service manual that tells you what to do after replacing the module. I believe the resistors are correct, I bought them of ebay where the specific part number and system was mentioned and they came ready with the correct connector and everything. 

With the pedal dance, I'm not sure if that can even solve my problem as it requires the light to flash, mine doesn't do that, it just stays solid the whole time. 

I might look into getting that Nissan Datascan III software, see if it helps. Thanks mate.

      A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
