Yes, that's definitely an airbag.

Ref 7:20, I appear to have a 'large car'

A very interesting video, thanks Sean.
is it really 'from Japan?' looks like it's from the US to me.
What is the engine at 4.40? S20?
Do we think the roll over test at 5.40 is pre-production or production? gulp!

Not with an airbox on that side !

I think we can conclude it probably isn't a good idea to roll your S30. *yikes*. In his book Mr Uemera describes a test in which the development team manually tipped a car over onto it's roof to assess its strength and the damage; concluding that it was probably about as safe as any other car. ! How simple these things were in those days.
