Just wondering if anyone has put an air bag suispension in a c34 stagea?

Thanks to my Takeros front bumper i cant go any coilovers (currently sitting 105mm from ground @ a 380 ride height with any coilovers dropping ride height to 365 at heighest point bringing front bar to just 90mm from the road) and stock replacement is non existant in brisbane apparently so it has to be custom springs ect which is gonna cost me around 1453 (fitted so not too bad) but wouldnt mind being able to raise it to get into my driveway rather than having it sitting on the road waiting to be hit again.

Any info would be great, dont mind having to travel a bit to speak with someone with some knowledge about options. Cheers

Somebody makes kits for just that job - not replacement suspension but just a booster for getting into parking buildings etc. I'll have a look but last saw it a few years ago.

Had a quick Google and BC actually make one (not the one I saw before but...) called Aircup

There's a few air suspension kits for r33 and 34 skylines, I presume one of those would fit. I'm in the stages of bagging a Pmn35 Stagea and there was no kits that I could get my hands on, luckily 350z has the same setup as a m35

did a fair bit of hunting around for these, saldly i couldnt find anyone with a direct fit kit (make it easier and cheaper so i can install myself), cheapest quote i got was $4500 installed... with parts being roughly $3000 and they wouldnt sell just parts so for the time being thats just gonna have to wait i guess...

You won't find a specific kit in australia, maybe in Japan though. As I said above, it'll be easier for you to find a car that shares the same suspension and look for a kit to suit.

$4500 installed isn't that bad considering my M35 install is going to cost $4400 just in parts. What air managment system and struts are you looking at using?

i couldnt tell you to be honest, they did tell me but i cant remember, was going to be tripple front and rear with a removeable controller hidden in the center colsole, tank behind the rear bar and all the pistons ect in the spare wheel well.

Though Ive decided to go back to stock height shocks+springs with swaybars front and rear, need to keep my car legal at the moment and according to QLD Transport if i bag the stag it wont be legal on QLD roads and because of this my insuance company wont accept any claim if anything does happen... which sux.. gonna leave it for a year or two till im ready to do some more then reassess.. would still love to put bags in though.

What happened with this? Anyone find where to buy air bag suspension kits for c34 s2 Stagea?

Doubt you'll find any c34 specific kits from well known brands (airrex, airrunners). As long as 33 or 34 skyline struts fit in the c34 there's plenty of kits out there

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
