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

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
