japan Nissan recalls chassis range:for Z11 Cube

BZ11-141666 TO BZ11-312231

BNZ11-027192 TO BNZ11-102034

YZ11-000001 TO BZ11-013186

BGZ11-621890 TO 701061

YGZ11-100001 TO 106253

YGNZ11-001001 TO 002010

Nissan japan says

"Nonconforming structure in the state finds a reference in power relays for engine control unit or performance situations and their causes, improper method of manufacturing a diode that is built into the relay, it may lead to a poor conductivity. Therefore, continued use of the box, it may stall out while driving and poor engine starting.

Replace the contents of safe products to improve the relay."

NOTE:

not all cars are affected & chassis needs to be checked.

Not a real concern as is VERY unlikely to cause any problems on our cars

no probs. it was easier for me to rip and dump it. there was another one for the earlier cars as well dated 2005. didnt bother with that one.

david was poking around looking on aonther site when I realised what he was doing and I sent the nissan one across.

the pdf is a direct rip of that site translated to english.

The cube is one of those cars that is so ugly its just damn coool.

Would love to have one as a daily runaround.

me too

For anyone interested, I now have a full set of factory overfenders and the factory retro stripe kit for the bonnet and sideskirts, and am planning to reproduce both to make them as a kit with Rota RBs (Watanabe copies) to make the plain ones look a bit purdy.

The factory stickers only come in a metallic black colour, and the most of the Neo Classic Cubes all seem to be police car blue, so it'll be fun to see what they look like.

you never did this right? watanabe and overfenders sounds perfect.

Got everything here, just waiting for some RSR springs to arrive from Japan and I'll go ahead and do one.

I've powdercoated a set of rims red to put on a white Cube, Carrera style haha

yeh it has turned out pretty nice.

and still have good clearance wherever i go. no scraping or thudding. its been a long time since i havent just put coilovers in. springs are easy.

no scraping or thudding with two in the car. any more and it scrapes like buggery. im in trouble already for this. haha

got to roll the rear fenders or go back to standard springs.

chef - what did the do with the rear bar where it meets the fender on yours?

They re-welded the plastic to bring it out further (hence the expense!), then attacked the seam where the panels join with an angle grinder (I had to go back because it was scraping hard enough to pull the rear bar down),...to help keep the two panels together they ended up using some really strong double sided tape, which has worked a treat.

Have a close look at where it is scraping because it may actually be hitting that seam rather than the lip of the guard.

wow, that sounds costly....

its definitely the guard. theres lots of rubber :)

i dont think its hitting the rear bar tho.... just the front side of the guard

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

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
