manc350z Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Folks.. Due to wanting, (i use the term loosely), to carry one of my young kids in the 350 i need to make a safety mod... i want to disable the passenger airbags + ,(if it has one), the seat belt pre-tensioner rig . I know that there is no magic switch or key combo as the car was Japan manufactured (all sunderland nissan cars apparently have airbag cut out switches ???)... Last car i owned that could not switch it's pass. airbags off was a BMW z3mcoupe back in '99 .. For like 120 quid to the main stealer they swapped the seat belt, pre-tensioner, pulled all the passenger airbag connections and then cleared the fault light so that the dash lights went off... I had to sign a waiver clearing BMW of any blame should a passenger die because the airbags did not fire.. nice Anyone had Nissan do this ?? Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Not the best 'family car' are they? I think most dealerships will flatly refuse to carry out such work. Guess you can only try, failing that try an airbag specialist? Even mobile diagnostic companies may do it. Sorry I cant be more help, lEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Try my350z.com. There is a fix you can do to trick the car into thinking the seat air bags are there when they arent (for aftermarket seats), using a resistor to bridge the connection. I guess this would also work for the passenger dash air bag but they will be able to confirm. You will need to remove the top panel of the dash, but Lee is writing a how to on that, arent you Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarsarre Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Did anyone find out any more re this? They aren't great family cars I must admit and with me playing the doting godmother a couple of times a month with a baby, its becoming tricky...
