This actually has me worried too, as my gf weighs in at about 120, and the light is always on saying the airbag is off. I had my car in to Nissan for it's annual state safety inspection, and I brought it up with the service rep. He said that it's not an adjustable feature, my gf's too light, sorry And I was like: "well, glad to know my gf will not be saved by the airbag, even though she outweighs the sensor."

I am going to call Nissan Corp today and raise the issue. If you think about it, how many Z's are sold in Japan? How much do people in Japan weigh, especially the women? Pretty sure they would be having more of an issue with the airbag sensor than us...

What you focus on will manifest itself. Worry is focused on the negative. A big key in life in general, is to keep your focus positive even if its deliberate. That is the key to optimism... Now, thats a big can of worms.
You're my hero. I have a sister and I would like some nephews.

Make sure when she sits in the car she puts her butt right in the center of the seat before you start the car.My girlfriend weighs 110 and we had the same problem then it stoped happening when I started telling her to center her weight in the seat.
