What does 'DUB' stand for? VIP has a meaning,what's the other one?

the VIP look almost works on subaru wagons,so I guess you could try it with a stagea. you need a VIP car for the proper style though. like a celsior...

Its a different style of modifications that not many people can appreciate.

I like it for its crazyness, but would never do that shit to my car. Its like all the crazy celsiors etc etc.

Just think about the work that went into it and the degree of modifications, thats whats more impressive than the look

LOL haha Dub is a brand of wheel, in the US. A mate has a set of 22" and 24" dubs here in morayfield on his 300C, he is a real estate agent....

I think a black stagea, slammed, with at LEAST 21's or 22's (cant be half-assed) would look tough. Either with no bodykit, or a kit that follows the lines of the stagea without being sporty. A wide body would be unique in aus, but expensive. go the same grille as mine, and get it chromed, or get a custom one i guess. I had looked into airbags for mine but the general consensus was that its never been done on an aus stagea before, so it was too difficult to engineer to compliance with ADR and QLD requirements, thus, prohibitively expensive. Black tint....

I drool at the thought.

If my stagea was black, i wouldve done it. The only thing that would be odd is that ur VIP's are typically a V8... Dual exhaust etc...

Hey Rob,

After my Stagea I absolutely love 300C's. I even saw one tonite on the Mountain towing a trailer.

Man there horny CARS. I'm sure Batman and Clarke Kent drive 300C's. Maybe Spiderman and Hulk and my next door neighbour too.

Incidently how are they registered? Eight cylinders, six , or four?

I must confess my first real car was a Single Spinner. LOLLOLLOL.

HAHA there is a ford single spinner ute in our street lol

They have to be registered as an 8, hey. Whether they happen to be USING all 8 at any given time is irrelevent. HA otherwise you could front up at the dept transport to register ur car and say "yeah she's a turbo'd 6, but only runnin on four cylinders at the moment"

Then plug your leads back in and drive off...

something simple like this VERY quick photoshop... but with maybe a different kit

i remember DUB being classed as VIP when midnight club DUB edition was all about cars like this...

i rang a few places and got prices, its cheaper for this idea than my other one (white with CF bonnet, black 5 spokes, ricer kit - would not work out as well) - im thinking the dual exhaust with twin tips on each... ferrari 300zx style... thats about it for the moment, and since my number plates are 'HAXOR' ill get some gay think like ROFL or 1337 or that counterstrike headshot logo sprayed on the intercooler.

26? what the?

i doubt i'd want more than 20... even that might be over what im gonna get.

yeah ill let ya know, its still a little while off, but if you can PM me with a price or something on mid range non chrome VIP style rims with tyres and post to bendigo (or i can pick up from melb) i'd appreciate it so i can budget for them

problem with bir rims on a stag is offset and also width you need equal width all round no matter what size it is so no staggered offsets or widths also without pumping the guards the widest size you will be able to fit if you manage to get the offset right will be about 9 inches and even then depending on your suspension set up they still may rub.

if you are doing a kit it may have to be custom as there is not a lot still in production for the stagea

there's also the small point that VIP cars are SEDANS,not wagons...

wait,let me guess,this is all about being 'different' right?

Justin...

So its 'that' time of the month for you is it...

There is no rule stating that a VIP car has to be a sedan... i dont think Hummers are sedans and there are plenty of them done this way...

I have seen plenty of VIP wagons just no stageas.

if you are against people being different, why dont you go buy some fully sick N/a 6cyl VS Commonwhore, dump it on some fully sick 16's and add 3 inch exhaust (dont forget the chrome tip :P)

Oh, and the bundy sticker.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
