Hey guys I seen a few other peeps posting up progress builds of there air ride setups so I figured I might as well. I just purchased Gia 2 months ago after totaling my 2007 Altima which was tastefully modded and I had won Nissan of the Month on my old forum and then that same year I went up against all 12 finalist and won Nissan of the Year. I was the first on the site to win The very first Monthly contest and the very First to win the Yearly contest. The yearly contest had some extremely nice and competitive cars. I have seen some amazing cars on this site and hopefully will like to get to know some of you guys. Trying to hit a meet up in NJ this weekend and personally meet some members.

Anyhow enough of the background and onto the build. I am building a custom setup and going with a bag over coilover setup. I purchased used Stance GR coilovers from a member on this board. I will be using UAS Aerosport bags (designed to slip over a strut/coilover) that take the place of the spring. Using the coilover I still can raise and lower the bag like a spring and adjust the dampening. Once I have the bag in the perfect spot then raising and lowering will obviosly be done with the bags. For the management I have Accuair VU4 manifold, with Accuair SwitchSpeed controller which will be have air supplied by two ViAir 444c compressors in which air is stored in 7 port 5 gal aluminum tank. I decided to to go with an auto leveling system for now bc I have heard the arms snap often ($100 a pop) so I will be monitoring the levels through a Dakota Digital air gauge with a tank monitor as well. Like a five way gauge but only shows the 4 corners and then hit a button to see the pressure in the tank. I like clean OEM look inside the cabin so I purchased a analog clock from ebay and retro fitted this Digital gauge into the housing of the clock for an OEM look. I also custom made a new lens to smoke it out and put red on the inside to light the info up red to match the gauge clusters red display. The gauge only comes in blue or teal so I nobody has this setup in red and secondly I know nobody retro fitted one of these bad boys into the a G's clock! Very happy with the outcome. I purchase a Kuda cell phone holder that matches my dash and I will mount the SwitchSpeed controller to that with magnets and hollow the center out to store lead wire from the Switch encase I need to hit switches standing outside the car lol. I also picked up iLevel which will allow me to control the vehicle using my iPhone. Suppose to be for the eLevel setup but it plugs through the brain and SwitchSpeed controller I have so hopefully it works other wise I will sell it on AirSociety. Int he next 2 weeks I will be setting my trunk up with how things will be mounted and running the wires for the gauge and controllers. A good friend of mine will be helping me with the plumbing and the install of the bags and coilovers. In the mean time I will be getting everything else ready. Now for some pics.





This is the teal gauge mine was more blue (bc of the lens they used)

Do you want the price I got invested so far or how much the setup I have so far should normally cost? I shopped everything and landed some amazing deals on items mostly through ebay.

Nice choice!!

I hear a lot of good things going with bag over coilover setups. Most kits you purchase are a coilover with a bag on it anyhow and you pay more for that setup and get less of a product. You can pick and choose what you want vs a made up kit which uses decent components.

Used coilovers $700
Aluminum Tank $100
Digital Air gauge $100 (normally $200) (Need 5 sending units at $40 a piece)
Sending units $200 (for 5)
Dual Viair 444C compressors $260 (normally $340ish) Also you don't need duals but you will need the compressors rated for 200psi
Accuair Management $625 (SwitchSpeed controller and VU4 Manifold) retail $875+
Kuda Cell Phone Holder $70
OEM Infiniti G clock $25 plus $15 Acrylic Lens
Accuair iLevel $275 (not a necessity) normally goes for $350 and has only been out for like a month!

So I'm aabout $2300 in and I still need the 4 bags which will cost me $250/$300 for a set of 2. The rear maybe going a different route so it might use a different type of bag that will cost $150 a set. Not so sure but will know getting closer to install. Also still need plumbing and some various fittings and wire. Might even get Accuair eXo Mount $275 for a clean look in the trunk.

Thanks Diego! You own the white G25 that's bagged with accuair? I know the owner works at Vossen from doing extensive reading and that car is in Miami FL so I am putting this all together and assuming lol? Looking to get 20in Vossens after the air setup and finished lip kit lol.

That's actually AYO_Vossen's G and I have his 20x9/10.5 +20/25 VVS-CV4s FS: I split up the set since he was running 20x10.5 +45 up front and 20x10.5 +25.
