Airbag Light after Racing Seats
 
As many know, the airbag light flashes after putting in racing seats. I think the 350Z had a wiring harnness to correct the problem.

I know about the DIY thread for the airbag light after racing seat install. I'm just wondering if anyone know of a part to buy the simplify the process rather than use parts from my old seats. I would like to put old seats back in when I sell my car.

Any ideas?

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I saw a little of your gray seats in another thread what make/model are they? Looked good from what little I saw :tup:

Then you will see how to fix your problem ...

If you wish to "Reuse" the Nissan plug, then find a wrecker and get the plugs from seats out of a wrecked car ..... or purchase plugs from Nissan (won't be cheap though)

Thank you. They are Status GT-X seat. I had the done in gunmetal grey and black, all suede leather.

As I say in my post, I know about and have read the DIY fix thread, asking if anyone know if a harness is being marketed. But I'm afraid it isn't being made. Sorry, just came from being a Mustang owner, a million mods for every little thing :).

Nice!
I thought they might be Status but wasn't sure if anybody else was offering gray seats like those, thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, you need the passenger sensor to get rid of the light. It's bitch to remove 30 metal rings just to get to the sensor. I don't know of any solution to fooling the passenger sensor harness.

Thanks for your help guys, getting use to it now. Might miss it if I fix :).

Your airbags won't work though. Not sure I'd sacrifice safety here.

Wuss. :D Didn't have airbags until the late 80's. I survived. :eek: :icon17:

Nissan Motorsports makes a plug in part specifically for that. I just saw it this week while looking through their website. I don't have the link here at work but I'll look for it when I get home.

MannyWiner 04-30-2015 12:11 PM

I'd really appreciate it Sander.

So none of my airbags will work with this warning triggered?

Nismo airbag removal harness :)

You still need the passenger sensor. That is just a 4.7ohm resistor. It'll still blink until you plug in the passenger sensor and also use those resistors.
