I still can't pick between the cash saved going with switches or the coolness of the touch pad.

Who are you ordering from if you don't mind saying? I'm looking at the same setup to go with my bc's.

I am going to deal with Accuair directly. They have been rather helpful and also offer a 15% military discount (awesome).

I am going stage 2 with the dual compressors, 1/4" lines/fittings, and touch pad.

Can u "hide" the tnk in the trunk? Or will I loose all my trunk space? My Z is my DD, I don't carry much stuff but I don't want to loose it either

Is the general consensus that one 4-5 gallon tank is enough no need for two?

Riptide67 · 06-04-2014, 05:36 PM

if you don't have a sub box in the rear, the whole system will fit in that section and you will still have trunk space. About the same as with a Zenclosure box.

KaienZ34,

I saw what you posted on my wall and it looks like you slected all the correct items. To give you a heads up, if you order from accuair...it will cost you $2195. The bags and bracks from UAS should be about $1050.

One 5 gallon tank is more than enough. I have 4 different friends all in PNW_INC with the following cars running just one 5 gallon tank: Nismo 370, 350Z, G35, and G37 Sedan.

KaienZ34 · 06-04-2014, 06:47 PM

So it looks like the cost is about the same, I'm pretty sure the one I posted included the bags and all for 3150.

Riptide67 · 06-04-2014, 06:55 PM

Yes, that seems pretty on par. I did compare the two and I do like what Accuair includes with their kit aside from the kit on bag riders. Plus I personally have the piece of mind knowing that accuair personally put out the kit and there weren't any corners cut on items like the tank and compressors. Another item that you will need, is the EXO mount for all the components to attach to the tank. Accuair obviously offers that and I did not see it on bag riders, but I may have missed it. That part is an additional $250 from accuair.

Well not underneath. I am talking about mounting it directly behind the strut bar. See the pic below of my friend's Nismo.

That looks massive

but if its just the area behind the strut bar, I think i will like that...is that a 4 gallon tank?

sorry for all these questions, new to modding and I don't know much about air systems lol , thanks for all the help

Riptide67 · 06-05-2014, 02:37 PM

That is a 5 gallon tank and yes, it is a pretty big system but fits in that area just fine. I for example will have not trunk, due to have a zenclosure box as well. But that is okay, bc it isn'y my DD or grocery getter hahaha!

KaienZ34 · 06-05-2014, 02:54 PM

Here is CarbonFZ's setup.

FPenvy · 06-05-2014, 02:58 PM

have any of you ever owned a airbagged vehicle before? i would in no way ever want the compressors near me inside a cabin of a car. they're quite loud to be right behind your head. just saying from my experience running 2 viair's and dual 5 gal tank set up on my show truck in HS. i mean i do run straight pipes on my Z but thats different lol

Riptide67 · 06-05-2014, 03:27 PM

The way CarbonFZ has his set up is exactly how I am doing mine.
