wmr1980 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Hi guys As you may or may not remember / know my friend managed to do a good job on wrecking my car. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/98570-life-lesson-never-let-your-friends-drive-your-car The good news is that it is being fixed! However I need to do something about the driver seat airbag and the curtain airbag. I guess I'll need a new seat? Or can the airbag component be replaced? What about the curtain airbag? What do you suggest? My friend is covering the cost of the reparations but I'm not going to take the pee and get him to buy stuff that would cost more than a direct replacement. Where should I be looking and who should I be speaking to? Appreciate your help. Will Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I'm in a similar situation. In for the info Quote
wmr1980 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 I've been suggested eBay but I'd be keen to hear from either traders or other people that have had this work done. Quote
ZEUS Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I think you will need a new seat but not sure about the rest. Someone like Zmanalex would be able to help you and probably have the parts you need too. 1 Quote
GT4 Zed Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 All the airbags are modular replaceable items except the seat airbags that are incorporated in the seat. You can probably get them separately but the issue will be to sow them back in with the right kind of stitches that will give way when the bag deploys. I may be overthinking it but ask the guys of "hide n seat" who trim seats as they will know what is required. You will also need the air bag central computer if everything was deployed. I have both curtain air bags and the airbag computer for sale from my track stripped zed. See my FS thread. They air the only bits left as the steering and passenger airbags have sold since. Everything was in perfect working order prior to removal. My asking price is lower than Ebay/ breakers. Pm if interested. Quote
wmr1980 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks mate. Only curtain and seat airbag was deployed. I'll have a look at your thread. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 You need to replace the airbag and the stitching needs to be done in a proper way in case the airbag in the seat needs to deploy again. Consult III might be able to tell you if you need to replace any airbag ECU modules, not sure how the 350z works. Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I have a full airbag set up including the main control box. PM for a price. Thanks. Mark Quote
CJRamze Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Someone's selling all these parts in the 350 parts for sale. Stripped from a GT4 for Track use Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote
wmr1980 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Thank you all. It's almost tempting to just buy a seat "upgrade" at this rate! Decisions decisions. Definitely want the curtain airbag sorted though. Quote
