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

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
