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

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
