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

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
