Default Too Much Traction

Chris was practicing at Lakeland tonight with his new Drag Weld / Mickey setup. Popped off a 1.6 pretty easily. One of his next runs launched hard enough to probably get a 1.3 - 1.4

but the force of acceleration was so hard it blew both airbags

never mind the output shaft which is now in 2 pieces... again






Nissan airbag shock sensors will pop airbags off if you get hit from behind really really hard....Like mack truck on the autobahn and you're standing still hard.


hahaha


i hope there is video

I'm guessing there is a brown stain on the seat now?

Not good to hear, hopefully the Q45/Z32 output shafts will hold up for me, well, at least I dont have airbags

Damn that sucks, but from the s14 and supra ( with 2 step) videos I have seen. Any car I own that makes power will have no air bags.
