I'm thinking ala GT3-RSR... I'm honestly not THAT serious but I am curious (they seem to be approx 500/corner) if it'd be worth doing while I was getting my cage done.

 

I considered using air jacks on my GT3 350Z. It's possible with a full tube frame chassis, but I don't know how you'd weld/bolt/attach them to a regular FM platform chassis. Besides that, there's the question about how to plumb the high pressure lines for the jacks and whether you want them for for a specific application.

My GT3 car has such low ground clearence that a simple, removable jack post attached to the side of the car was the most cost-effective solution.

 

Yeah, that's where I'm currently leaning... only reason I asked in the first place was I figured I could easily have the fabricators weld in the provisions while doing my cage work, but it doesn't seen close to worth the money for a street/track combination car.

 

I don't think that it would be easy at all! If you're just doing a weld-in rollcage, it would be extremely difficult to find room to get air jacks and their associated plumbing in a unibody car without a lot of cutting...

 

Purchasing the air jacks is the cheap part. You will have to pay a fabricator to build mounts and brackets for the jacks, cut holes in the floor, weld it all in then plumb all the hyraulic lines..

 

But can you imagine the LOOK on the faces of your T2 competitors when you air that puppy up? LOL

Actually, SCCA T2 rules won't allow that AT ALL. And as I said, even for a GT car, it's relatively cost prohibitive...

 

you would need an external air system that gets plugged into a nozzle to raise the car when you pull up to the paddock..

off-topic, but once you do that, you know you have to change all your wheels to center-lock single lug lugs
