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!

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
