  1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Seats

    As OP mentioned, the side plastics limits the flex of the side bolsters and I can feel it digging into my thigh. I found that if I adjust both of the seat bottom knobs to the highest setting it helps. I do notice that over time this setting will drop on its own and have to readjust. I did just...
  2. LibertyWalk Front Bumper Installation test and thoughts

    After dealing with hood popper deployment on mine, I am curious as to whether you will be able to mount all the sensors to the bumper in such a way that they don't set off codes. There are 5 related to the pedestrian hood poppers alone. Plus, the parking and radar sensors. I used to work in a...
  3. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    For those following this, here is break down of cost involved to get back up and running. Please note I was fortunate that there was no body/paint damage worthy of fixing. Front license plate mount: $50 (required in my state) Nengun eliminator kit : $175 (tariffs and shipping hit hard, plus 5...
  4. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I am not sure about additional settings access, as I have not explored that yet. I can tell you that when I did a basic scan of all systems it did show audio error codes. I installed a subwoofer and used an interface cable that bypasses the ANC. The error code was for the missing microphone...
  5. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    Very happy to report that I was able to get everything back together and codes cleared. I bought a Foxwell NT710 off Ebay for right at $200 with coupon. for NISSAN Full Bidirectional Auto OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Scan Tool E-CU Coding | eBay I was also able to cancel the order for the additional...
  6. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I finally received my sensors, and I pulled the bumper off to replace them only to find there are 5 sensors not just 3. Parts diagrams I found on Nissan site for ordering parts did not specify that there are 5. It just listed center, left and right. There are two each left and right. One upper...
  7. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    That is the plan. I am still waiting on new sensors to show up. I also ordered a Nissan specific code reader that the seller claims will read and clear air bag codes. Will let everyone know how it works out. This has been a very drawn out and annoying ordeal. I know people will say just take to...
  8. TailGate Rattling

    Yes, mine does same thing. I tried to adjust the latch down to tighten it up, but there was no room to move it. I ended up placing a couple of rubber grommets (about 1/16" thick) I had laying around in the two little "pockets" just above the taillights. This is where the rubber bumpers on the...
  9. AWE Touring exhaust feedback wanted

    I have same AWE exhaust and already removed it. It was a bit too much drone for my taste. Even the stock system has noticeable drone that is just magnified by this exhaust. Maybe my ears are just too sensitive now. However, all my other cars have aftermarket exhaust that don't bother me. Those...
  10. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    Yes, I had not replaced the impact sensors prior to have computer reset. I wrongly assumed that the air bag module reset would take care of it. Apparently, those are one time use items that once triggered are no longer good. Which means the pop up eliminator kit is only partially valid. You will...
  11. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    Well, it looks like the pop-up eliminators are a false sense of security. Yes, the poppers won't deploy, but if the impact sensors are triggered you will still have a warning light. You will still have to replace them and have everything reset. I found out there are 3 pedestrian impact sensors...
  12. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I sent it to Myairbags.com. All total with shipping both ways was about $120. They claim 24 hour turnaround time, but with holiday it will be delayed. I will try to remember to take pictures.
  13. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I finally got around to removing the air bag module and sent it off to be reset. What a pain in the ass to get to. It is buried under all the trim behind the seats under strut tower bar. I had to not only mostly remove center console, but also side panels with rear speakers and trim panel behind...
  14. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    The removal process is not that bad. However, I was an autobody technician years ago. So, I am accustomed to this kind of work. First and foremost, disconnect the battery before you disconnect anything. Do not reconnect the battery until everything is plugged back in. You will need to remove the...
  15. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I ordered the cancellation pieces from Nengun, but saw these today. Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z Pop-up engine hood Cancel New F/S Japan | eBay Not sure if I would trust it as it does not include the connectors.
  16. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    For anyone that has had the unfortunate experience of having the hood poppers deployed, did you have to replace/reset the air bag control module?
  17. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I just checked the Nengun site and says it will ship 14 days after payment. I am interested in buying from you if you would like to send a private message.
  18. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    I am able to report that the hood hinges are designed to be reset and do not need to be replaced. I lifted the hood and pushed the hinge back into position and then used a pair of pliers to flip the lever back in place. There is a tab that sits above the popper that rotates and allows hood to...
  19. Hit a deer, hood poppers deployed

    Yes, I do understand the dangers of working on these things. I was an autobody technician in the 90's when airbags first came out as standard equipment. Everyone was afraid to work on them, but if you followed the manual procedure, it was not an issue. This is why I turned to forum members to...
