Uas Airbag Install - V36 Coupe

[loz-tuned]

Hey guys,

well i have finally unpacked my UAS Airbag kit from the states and we have started work on figuring out how it all comes together.

First off, i will say the G37 kit is VERY comprehensive... it's come with everything, even including the power extension wires, air filters, even the wire cutting tools needed to do the job.

According to UAS it's pretty much plug and play, so last night / this morning we set off to start doing it !

looking at the setup the first place was to determine where to place the switchbox, and AirBag Guage LCD, luckily the flip down sunglass holder next to the sun visors is the perfect size, so we have installed it in there....

The LCD Display from dakota digital was finished nicely in brushed alloy, however it was just a little too big to fit where we wanted it, so we have actually dis-assembled the LCD box, and have decided to mount it directly into the metal trim panel to the right of the steering column, to give it a flush look.

will give more updates later today as it heads along.... PS. I have some RS-R Springs that i dont need anymore... AWESOME improvement to stock V36 handling.

Niiice..

Do you mind me asking how much roughly one of these would set you back?

[loz-tuned]

They are around $3,500 landed after all the taxes, duty and freight charges...

The auto-levelling systems are around $1300 on top but they aren't that necessary (i didn't get one).

We are just putting the final wiring in over the next 4 hours, then it should be good to go...

will get more photos up when it's done!

Car is finally running with the bags, will get a video up today.

A few teething problems so will need to keep working on it tonight, but overall i'm pretty happy with the result.

pros:

- looks

- adjustable

- controls & guages work well

- speed (very fast)

cons:

- Slightly softer than the RS-R springs

- Install is a BIG job

- Compressors are noisy + needs to re-gas almost every use.

- only lasts 2 full car up/down before running out of gas
