Hey guys,

After recently purchasing my stagea, with an aftermarket kit/skirts, lowered on nismo springs, ive come to realise how stupidly hard its going to be going anywhere. (Maccas is now off the cards as the stagea wont get in their driveway!)

Ive decided to start looking into a fully engineered airbag suspension kit.

Now, the issue im facing is that no one knows wtf a stagea is, let alone if theres an airbag kit suitable for it. I Hear there are alot of similarities in the stagea to other nissans (V35 mainly) Does anyone know what the suspension setup is like? (Im aware its springs/struts allround anything past that i have no idea)

ive spoken to a guy on the central coast (nsw) who does airbag suspension for showcars and he asked me to take heaps of photos of how the car sits now and what the suspension is like currently. so im yet to take photos and send them up to him but i figured id ask first to see if anyone can shed any light on the matter. i will be updating this thread with my progress but any tips would be greatly appreciated!

If i do choose to go ahead with the install (Set a budget of $5500) watch this space!

Im really only toying with the idea at the moment, but in order to make a decision i need a little more information on the matter, ive heard of people bagging their accords for little over $3k, aware the job may have to be a custom job, ive allowed a little more for the job.

p.s. im 21, currently living at home, no expenses, little responsobility, May aswell, right?

If you can't get into Maccas with nismo springs, your doing it wrong. How much did you chop off the bloody things?

IMO, let the accords/lebspecs have their airbags. Instead budget fora turbo rebuild, because it will go eventually, and power/handling improvements, and a nice set of genuine rims.

Its the bloody Gialla(Galah) Front bar it sticks out a good bit from the front of the car...

Just do it bro, that's exactly what customising is about, doing shit your way and your styles.

Should be easy enuff, go see a mini truck bagger, there are some excellent units out there, you will probably need custom inserts to match your chassis pick up points in the rear, the fronts would be a bit different as they are struts. Just make sure you get bags with damper capability, but the bagman will know if he's any good.

The $3k++ can be used wisely elsewhere on the car that will bring you more pleasure and rewards....

Japanese laws regading the 'height' of your car relate to the chassis and what hangs off it from an 'engineering' perspective ( exhaust, etc ) - so, as a result, they design body kits which make the car 'look' really low. a la kenstyle, Galia, etc. the car isnt lowered, the body kit is. Nightmare. And I completely empathise with it!

'Bold world' (Japanese company) have an air suspension kit (more than one actually) so if you're serious about it I'd chase them up first up.

UAS (Ultimate Air Suspension) in the US do air bags that replace your spring on standard struts or coilovers. This would be the easiest route to go on the front as it keeps everything in the standard spot.

Then for the rear, you would put these in but they look like they require some chassis drilling to hold the top and bottom plates.

And finally a whole management kit to run the show depending on if you want front and back control or all four corners control.

I'm no expert on the subject, but IMO this is easily doable for the weekend garage warrior with guides found online and troubleshooting.

Very helpful.  Thanks heaps.  I would love to see the setup in "MrM35" Stagea.  I have only seen exterior stance photos?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
