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 :action-smiley-069:)

Oh, and the bundy sticker.

maybe there are plenty of blinged out hummers over in the us,but they're not VIP cars. just like blinging up a stagea won't qualify. you could put carbon fibre bits all over it and throw in a roll cage,but it wouldn't be a race car then either... it's a wagon,that's all it'll ever be. I own one too remember,and don't feel any need to make it what it's not,although it is far from standard,it's not pretending to be anything other than a daily driver with a bit of go.

as for the 'time of the month' bit,you'll have to try far harder than that to upset me mate. I call a spade a spade. a stagea is NOT a VIP car. it doesn't matter what you do to it,it never will be. I'm not against people being different, I don't give a toss what you do to your car,you're the one driving it,not me. I won't agree with your calling it something it's not though. delude yourself all you like,but don't expect me to smile and nod.

ok so lets just completely diss the guys idea of trying to do something different and to his own taste? Who's call is it to say what is and isnt a VIP car? Most people who buy a stagea do so because they see potential in something different, they see something others dont, and go for it, and some of us go out of our way and pockets to make it our own. Normally someone with the common sense to see what a stagea is, and BUY one, has the common sense to shut their mouth (or still their fingers) when there comments are neither warranted, or needed. xo

Oh and Felix the bar was originally a Nismo bar, but has been modded, cut and fibreglassed to nearly beyond recognition. Chris (AMS on these forums) can get u my full bodtkit, through monkey warehouse. As has been said, not a great deal available in aus for the stagea, so i got the nismo kit and did a custom job. Thanks for the interest!

And as everyone else on here says - good luck with the build, hope it turns out how u want, and i look forward to seeing the finished product!! Ive seen a couple of nice VIP wagons - a Black BMW and a white Mercedes, both done very subtle but effective.

I reckon it'd look tops mate... a set of this style wheel would look schmicko

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/eudhp/spec-1.html

Those wheels are alright, but too common for my liking - even if you rarely would see/have ever seen them on a Stagea. But that's just my opinion... I prefer the subtle street sleeper - nice wheels, lowered suspension, and a few detail items here and there to set the car off, but not draw too much attention except from other enthusiasts.

As far as wagons being VIP's, there was a black Toyota Crown posted ages ago done by Junction Produce, who mainly focus on VIP-style cars anyway... Looks very similar to an s1 Stagea, so I think the results will be to your liking. I actually quite like it myself! :(

hahahhaa yeah there not cheap but there the real deal in BLING, i can arrange some better prices but there never gonna be a cheap rim.

If u really wanna go extreme can do specail orders for jewel encrusted wheels too ...not fake jewels but real emeralds,saphires, rubys, diamonds etc covering bout 60% of the wheels (some expensive kurb rash) and diamond encrusted wheel nuts

Theres a video clip by lil romeo i think called dubz check it out to get the idea,

... you can also design your own rims,

anyways jus to give you guys some ideas and if you need anything jus gimme a shout

Lee ;)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
