Actually, while I have your attention for a moment, have you ever seen leather (MSpec) R34GTR seats come up at the auctions? Do you know a rough price I would be looking at?

Never, although I've never looked for them either. Expect to give up your first-born for them though...

Minimum $1K each in Japan, then transport here....

Here's your M-Spec seats, over $5K in Japan...

I'm thinking about buying those Panasports too hey lol

If the Cube was 4x114.3 instead of 4x100, I would've found rims ages ago...

Oh and having paid for the Meisters, the seller reckons he sold them in his shop! WTF??!! Dodgy prick!

So back to square one. Better look quick, or the Panasports will be getting purchased...

dood. Any Honda Shitvic or Toyota MR-S wheel will fit your car. Otherwise, half the reason Cube drivers in Japan run Euro wheels is that Mini's (what japanese guys consider competition to the cube), old VW's etc all ran 4x100 fitment (and they've got pretty low offsets).

game over.

lol 19x8s :P

I've gone a slightly different direction...bought these:

17x8 so width is right, +30 so no need for spacers, 90mm of dish, they suit the Cube perfectly and they're super-rare in Australia...wins all round...

Bah you guys don't think outside the square that's all - I love Meisters but you need to also think about the car the wheels are going on. I reckon these will suit the Cube very well.

The ones in these pics are 17x7s for reference's sake...

umm that suits a figaro cos it's supposed to remind you of an old Ford Popular, which is a retro car. Cube needs something edgier (no pun intended)

ah well if you've bought it then you must love it. I'd be powdercoating em black/gunmetal instead of chrome as they look like mustang wheels.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
