Racing Seat Brackets - Bride Gias

That is one of the Employer to employee benifits....lol

They look really sharp. You sure you don't want to trade those Nismo seats for the stock cloth seats. Leather's a pain.

kdoske · 08-03-2009, 10:21 PM

Looks cool. I just wish the seats had a little bit more branding on them....

I KID I KID!

Looks good Equinox!!

Are there any airbag (or any other sort of) resistors that you need to installed with the seats as well?

LOL!!! I find this to be a very funny random comment.

Nice car man...

Both seats in the car have an airbag integrated into the outside shoulder, and there is a wire leading to them under the seats. When you unplug these they will cause an airbag light on your dash.

The passenger seat also has a weight sensor to detect the passenger. If you disconnect this, your Passenger Airbag light on the right side of the dash will stay lit.

I haven't done anything to make these go away, but I will research solutions, most likely solder a resistor inline to the harness, and jump them so they loop.

Equinox · 08-04-2009, 10:44 AM

With the airbag connected, measure the resistance drop across the airbag harness. (Measure wire going to airbag, and wire coming to airbag.) Whatever the ohm resistance is, just bridge the harness with a resistor of that ohm rating, and light will go away.

Remember that the 370 needs to have the diagnostic mode run in order to actually remove the light once the airbag or resistor is reconnected AK370Z had a thread on how to accomplish this, as well as a link to it from his radio install, DNX6140 Kenwood I think.

Also for the passenger air bag, a friend who has a Mini Cooper bought a factory weight sensor from Mini that he installed into his Recaro seats so the passenger airbag remains functional. Just an idea.

well I was considering gutting the stock seat, because really the skin is just zipper on like all seats, and taking the weight sensor off. The bride seats have centers that velcro on so you can wash them after all those sweaty Solo II events. I can just slide the weight sensor under there.

If you do that, make sure you post a DIY thread on transferring the stock weight sensor to an aftermarket seat. That is something that most people who get aftermarket seats don't think about.

A 4.7 Ohm resistor worked for my Audi Bags....

I'm sure that picture filled in a lot of gaps for people. Good looking out Modshack. You and your diamond plate mats - ya ricer. Lol,

DDM - I'll try to remember to make a DIY. I usually get too excited and just complete the mod instead of documenting it, lol.

I installed the passenger air bag weight sensor in my passenger bride gias seat - to allow the sensor to arm when someone is in the car. Here are some pictures!

More to come, I took the SRS air bag out of the passenger seat as well, and I'm gonna try figuring out the resistance needed to trick the air bag light. That's this week's project as long as the RX-7 stops distracting me with new parts coming in the mail. Lol.

Awesome! Thanks Equinox!
