shan,

current model bB or classic shape?

because toyota is bringing out the "rukus" in about a week's time... which is the current model bB

toyota saw a market opening for it when kia introduced the soul

....i prefer the true box... the cube.

current model bB or classic shape?

current model the QNC2-something. Maybe a good thing, it'll no doubt be expensive and people looking for an alternative might opt for a fringe-dweller spec Cube.

I'd laugh so hard if someone started bringing in Subaru Dexs? Dexii? as Subaru haven't sold em here, and they're basically the bB with a suby engine.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the thing is though... (this has been my opinion since the day one)

is people who are going to buy the "rukus" will know that it's a bB

as in... people will go to toyota looking for a bB van... the kind of buyer of the "rukus" isn't the kind of person that's

"just having a look around for a new car tossing up between the tiida the jazz and the swift"

they'll be going to TOYOTA because they want the bB van

does that make any sense??? i hope it does... i'm not very good at portraying my point there...

but

the customer will know about bB van from the internet... they'll want it because it's a box car

i highly doubt that the "rukus'" target market is going to be willing to pay the ~22k price tag for ... what is essentially a car people buy for teh lulz.

they will be more attracted to the more iconic, better priced and better equipped (yet older) nissan cube.

i know i would be - as far as "box" cars go... my preferences are as follows

honda stp wgn

honda jazz / fit

nissan cube (2nd gen - the one featured in this thread)

nissan cube (3rd gen - SERIOUSLY you guys need to get SEVS compliancing in on these cars before nissan cottons on!)

toyota bB first gen

suzuki wagon R

toyota bB 2nd gen (marketed as the Rukus)

and

the kia soul

in other words i don't find the rukus very desirable...

and - that's great news about your cube kris

are you serious.. i will EAT YOU.

ok i put up heaps of pics but "dynamic images" aren't allowed

so i'l bow out with merely a suzuki Wagon R

IMPORTERS TAKE NOTE.

the glory days of the japanese powerful car of the 1990's are over. the market is shifting and there is a new market of bean / toaster cars waiting to be SEVS approved!!!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
