When i was in Japan in 05 I saw a fair few of the Cubes. They look like an awesome car and nothing like what we can get here. I immediately wanted one, but only to be told we cant get them here!

Im excited that they are coming.....but not at 25k!!!

Hmmm - I'm writing this in Nagoya, maybe I should try and pick one up while I'm here...

Maybe one of the so called experts, back yarder's or leeches of the import industry who have been around for 10 minutes will get on the band wagon and bring in a shitter..................but as you are aware they are too late.

If you buy one kristian get an early 2003 due to emissions test vehicle.

They won't be $25K, nowhere near it, and DRIFTT-san, I didn't pick one up today (bought too many big $$ cars this week so had to sacrifice my own purchases for the team) but will get in soon once some money is back in the bank in Japan. I'll give you a buzz when I get back.

thats the address for the cube, and have found out that cubes are selling for around 850000Yen FOB, so landed around 14 or so thousand AU, especially with the yen at 101.50 to $1 AUD. will be definately looking into and investing one probably once i see them on the RAWS list.

^^^Sold in Japan, but only as imports from the US, in LHD only. Stupidly expensive...

Sold in Japan, imported from the US? Dude, all of these cars are made in Hino Japan.

Mistype i guess.

Yeah, i missed the post.

The other post wasn't aimed at you, but I'll try again regardless.

Yes, the cars were built in Japan for the US and Canadian markets only, not for local consumption, then a US importer brought them back in to Japan from the US as private imports, in the same way we bring Skylines here.

Japan has no regulations requiring cars having to be RHD, so none of them are converted. Go into a Benz dealership in Japan and you can choose whether you'd like left or right hand drive.

Yes, im well aware o the RHD/LHD situation here. Obviously thats no good for me as im exporting to Oz.

Its daft that the cars get made here, shipped out and then shipped right back in. Simply absurd.

There's a whole industry devoted to it over there - American-spec LHD Japanese cars brought back in to Japan and sold at ridiculous price. Very weird, but understandable when the whole LHD foreign car thing carries much more status.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
