dunno if i should disclose this post or not BUT

15 x 8 + 15 offset is perfect fitment for toyota bB / nissan cube

being that these cars are the "poor mans" modifying car everywhere else in the world... a USA company has made these 1piece cheaply priced wheels with oldschool work / ssr designs, they are usually made in either a 15x8 with a +15 or 0 offset... to their credit they're VERY cheap and are produced as a brand new wheel when the genuine article is near on impossible to find... my thoughts are - why pay four times the amount for something nearly 20 years old when you can get a brand new item delivered to your door within 5 days shipped for under a grand???

the first car is a zero offset 15x8 second two are plus 15's...

i'm sure everyone will say the usual "but they're not the original" and yeah granted they're not.... they're copies... that are styled the same.. are brand new... a quarter of the price... and have the correct widths and offsets... soooooooooo who's to complain??? some idiot on an internet forum who judges you because your wheels don't have a stamp that says "work" on them?

who cares i say - - the cube is a cheap car... so - why bother spending heaps of money when all the wheel's job to do is look good? :S

for those who aren't going to flame me for suggesting such outlandish things such as saving money - the companies that make these wheels are:

AXIS

sportmax

XXR

search on ebay - a set of wheels is about $2/300 usd then about 5 or 600 shipping - still getting cheap wheels!

My missus works for Kawasaki head office and one of her Japanese bosses has acquired a Cube from a dealer who hopes to sell them as fleet cars lol

Now she has fallen in love with it. If we were to buy one what would be the model to purchase??

the model i would look for for is either EX type as this has afew extras IE climate AC or ther are some special models like RIDER edition and Agiactive editions like kristian has although i stuck my head in the door of his at the docks and looks like an EX version to me i thought most of the ones ive seen have special trim.

+ if you want a little more room and 7 seater you best to be looking for the Cubic3 model same applies to Cubic3 EX, rider, agiactive etc all avail in this type also.

I have owned a Cubic3 and found it fun for a few months and the novelty wore off soon after and my wife said i look funny driving that small car :)

If you want to buy newer type YZ11 1500cc these engines are much faster and also economical than the BZ11 1400cc type. they have done a lot more to this engine buy just adding 100cc its amazing differance over the previous 1400cc. YZ11 type chassis it not avail yet to import to OZ so this info would only be relivant to people living japan side.

I'll get you to check the Nav in it because it could possibly be the factory option one, but my regular workshop up your way gave me a sizeable discount on compliance so I'm taking it to them :huh:

Mine's an Agiactive, easiest way to tell is the Agiactives have a different grille, fog lights and climate control air con.

I think someone is doing the YZ11s Phil, a guy in Sydney owns one that was originally a test car, might be Graham Hill at TGB in Penrith, for those interested.

The supercharger kit I got is a low-blow Impul thing, gives it an extra 35ps haha, in percentage terms I imagine it's a decent hike over standard! Might have to drop the compression and see what I can wind it up to...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
