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.

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
