Ok, having been d1cked around by the importer of the wheels I'd originally picked, and having already bought a supercharger kit and factory optional overfenders for it, I've reached another roadblock with wheels. Let me start by saying wheels in the sizes I want are very very difficult to find, so options are fairly limited. Let me know what you think...

Choice one - Panasport F1

Pros: Panasport are extremely high quality wheels, and the Watanabe/Superlite style is always a winner on a Cube, 17x8s

Cons: Maybe a bit plain and safe choice for the car?

Choice two - Work Meister

Pros: They're Work Meisters, 'nuff said. White rims always look tough on a black car.

Cons: Only 17x7 but offset is still pretty good, maybe brakes will look too small with an open-spoke wheel

Choice three - SSR Mesh

Pros: Old school styles, but 17x7 makes them decent diameter too, if not width

Cons: Whether they'd suit the car hmmm, would need to be slammed to look good I reckon

Choice four - Work Euroline/VIP style

(Yes I know these aren't Euroline, but you get the idea)

Pros: Would look pretty gangster given that the car is black

Cons: Wouldn't work so well with the overfenders or the supercharger in my opinion...

If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

dont know what colour your car is but i could see these working on a white one

These were my very first choice, but having seen a few Cubes with 15s on since then, smaller diameters get lost in the huge wheelarches, and you'd need it about 30mm off the ground to make it look decent...

CSTs don't float my boat sorry...

Regarding offset, factory rims are 15x5.5 +48 or thereabouts, so for obvious reasons going below about +20 is gonna be risky, even with the overfenders. Kinda limits the dish factor.

Imho the panasports would look the best on the cube... I like that style in general (really hate #4 lol)

-D

If those 4 are the only wheels you are considering then I would rank them like this:

Panasport F1

Work Meisters

---------------------------

Work Euroline/VIP style

---------------------------

SSR Mesh :D

Interesting Cronic.

My vote is the meisters, coz meisters make near on anything look f**king fabulous.

I agree.

the panasports look shit house, too race style which the car isnt.

out of the 4 it would be miesters or meshies but whats the overall style your going for?

The pics don't do them any favours but they're like a Watanabe-style rim - here's some 17s (but narrower than the ones I'm looking at) on a Jazz

Lol Damo I was going to write something but then realized it had already been said.

P.S. nice Pube, Chef.

:D

If I hadn't already gone with [RUBIK] for a number plate, that nearly would've got a gong....

I really like the CE28N looking rims in the middle of the last set on Mukyboy's pics (the maroon car) .... or the Meisters - (possibly get them mirror polished all over) - would look tuff on a black Cube!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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
