Air Bag Disabling

[95ITR]

I have searched airbag removing but has nothing about disabling the airbag. Does anyone know how to do this, being a electrician and auto-electrical im pretty sure I can handle it electrically if I know what to do?

just not very keen to go playing without know what I am in for

[gotvtec]

AFAIK you can get a car certed after removing airbags but its not easy to do because you have to prove you haven't reduced the safety of the car, ie you have to make it safer in other ways.
I think i read in another thread that they can be disconnected pretty simply for when you're doing motorsport events so if thats the case that would probably be the easiest solution.
Could quite possibly vary from car to car but i'm sure someone else will be able to give you a more definitive answer

[95ITR]

yes if I can just disconnect that would be great, anyone :?:

[funkymonkey]

[95ITR]

You need to remove the airbags, any warning labels that showed you have airbags in the car, disconnect the SRS light, and any other thing to do with the airbags. Then get it certed, and it's still not easy..

Not worth the trouble at all.

Sorry MATE. Just telling you what needs to be done and my opinion.

I say go for it if you need to do it. It'd be interesting to see it done properly for once.

[95ITR]

thats cool, yeah I am gonna have to sort it out

[itekdu]

can you post up problems/results?

[95ITR]

yeah i will

[Team Type R]

just dont crash it and itll be sweet

[xuanyu]

you can pretty much disconnect it.
and put a after market steer wheel on while you day to day drive or track day.
just put it back when it due to a WOF.
thats what my friend does to its S2000.

Be sure to disconnect the battery for atleast 1/2 an hour before unpluging stuff, it allows residual electricity stuff (technical aye) to get out of the system, as a precaution. :wink:

Thats what im going to do, my fucking SRS light has popped up 3 times in a few months and has cost me $500 bucks to fix. I just said fuck it gonna disconnect it and get me a momo..

Will it have any affect on insurance lol?

[95ITR]

well, if you want to do motorsport both passanger and driver airbags must be disconnected and removed completely, and it is so bloody hard to cert,wof this :cry:

common sense, its like once the airbag is out, and your car is not cert for that, you lost your WOF automatically.
if you drive a car like this on the road, IT IS ILLEGAL.
why would a insurance company pay your loss when it was caused by you doing something illegal?
correct me if im wrong , but i dont think i will be wrong this time.

[VTEC_Lover]

Its alot of money to get it cert.... sometimes its not worth it... BUT its ur choice... we cant stop ya from doing it... its ur car and ur choice... its ur money and ur time...

[itekdu]

I say go for it if its what you want, you wont be happy otherwise.

[NECRO]

personally id just get rid of it if thats what you want/need to do for motorsport just get rid of everything on your car that has any reference to SRS/airbag ie change your gauges to ones that dont have an SRS light remove anything that says SRS on it! if there is nothing to show your car ever had airbags how are they guna know you have removed them?

[b16a2]

well if your not bothered about the safety gains of airbags, just unplug the electrical connectors going towards them, this will disable them, then just cut the wire going to the srs indicator

that way wof still thinks u have airbags (cuz u do, they just wont inflate)
