HI all,

Thought i'd separate the Cube from the GTRs thread.... So here it is.

Bought the car on Saturday 16/01/2016 from Top Secret as a new daily. Wanted something that was good on fuel, had enough space and something a little different and not boring.

Apparently that has resulted in the Cube. So far so good, it has not missed a beat. A few little issues to work out but as with every car.

Plans for the car?

Nismo.

and more Nismo.

I'm not going tooo over the top but anyone that knows me and my cars knows Nismo is up on the list.

So first things first... The car?

2005 YZ11 Cube. Massive 1.5L engine putting out an amazing 80kw through the front wheels!

Nismo MC-8 Wheels! picked these up for an absolute steal so i could not say no to nismo goodness!

Awaiting delivery from Osaka. They have a little bit of surface corrosion but that will be very easy to remove.

Thinking of painting them black and painting the nismo logo. To look sort of like the omori LMGT4.

I also replaced the head unit yesterday as the Jap one was locked and shiz. Man the cube is easy to do. 2 screws and the plastic surround was off, 4 screws and the head unit was out. Took me about 10 minutes to wire in the new one. Very happy with the result. Will get pics when i'm next in the car.

The next step for this car is to go to Dickson Motor Registry and get the thing passed for Canberra. For people outside of the ACT Dickson have a little bit of a reputation. I can't see it failing but you never know....

awesome find on the wheels...well done.

and hopefully you'll enjoy the cube, we had ours for years and it never missed a beat. you'll enjoy the extra steering lock too, it is outrageously easy to park. plus it can take a whole trackday's worth of tools in the back, particularly if you don't need the rear seat

If only. GTiR pulsar conversion???

nup.

go VIP.

and also do yourself a favour: ditch RHD Japan and just trawl YAJ/Croooober/Up-Garage.

just search YZ11 and browse through hundreds of pages of cool semi-cheap stuff.

but srs, you need to drop this GTR attitude m8. not everything needs to be carbon or over priced. there is no GTR tax here. its not going take 1300 man hours to replace an exhaust manifold gasket.

The wheels are from YAJ and most things i get are from YAJ.

Only reason i got the door handle things is because they literally cost me nothing.

What GTR attitude? Everyone mods a car differently mate.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
    • What sold me on Trailer Park Boys is this scene: Great stuff, just stay clear from the new Netflix production.
