Same with ford fairlanes like my daily. They had an rear airbag setup to level the car once a trailer/caravan was placed on the tow bar, Since it was $1000's to fix it once it broke most people replaced it with coilovers once it died.

yeah, factory 'yota bags are pretty average, especially at this age, while its mad fun droppin the ass and liftin the nose on hindley street, theyre pretty useless really. dampening sucks. you can buy 're manufactured' bags from an american company called 'arnott industries', but they have a fairly short life span apparently. hell, you can even buy air struts with bilstein inserts through them. pumps you can find second hand, but even then theyre crazy expensive ($1000 private, up to $2000+ from a wrecker). just get coilovers.

dont be put off by the rather high spring rate you tend to find for coilovers for these things though, theyre heavy beats, so 15-18kg front springs tend to be the norm.

:edit:

pm sent dude, also check this out, stance in the us, theyve got 5 types of coilovers, from your base model stuff all the way to remote reservoir racing stuff, thats a link to the GR+ which is 1 step above entry, 18/10kg springs, which is normal for 'yota gear. enjoy.

then theres; HSD TT Series, HSD HR Series, ISC N1 (says its only available for 97 on though, might wanna check with ryan), and racing logic.

lol but can those stock airbags be modded easy to get the wheels bouncing off the ground?

nope, for a start the air lines and valves are WAY too small, along with an asthmatic compressor and tired pump, theyre pretty useless, takes forever to lift and drop. only way youd get it bouncing (or moving faster than youre average snail) is a very large airtank, one pump per axel, upgraded compressor, 1/2 inch or bigger lines, and suitable valves... and you know, new struts.

oh Dave some people have no taste :blink:

haha, yeah, its pretty ordinary...

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
