I will do

Mine's still in Japan

Owned by Shan

The '34 will make the for sale section when Cubic arrives

Ideally I was looking for one with the Neoclassical Aero Package but there are barely any Cubic's with the kit (mainly Cubes) and I wanted pearl white, which narrowed down my chances to nearly zero. This is a good base to start from

It's funny to pull that random fact out on anyone who mentions it

This cost more than that. But this is a S2, 1.5L, almost flawless condition with 49,000km's so it was worth the extra money. Most of the Cubes/Cubics you see currently in Australia are very bottom of the barrel base models tarted up to suck people into buying them. Importing is still the better/cheaper option. Plus importing is more fun

I'd prefer not to say. I got it for a good price though, far less than buying a similar example from a dealer.

Yup, 7 seater, though I plan to have the third row of seats folded down most of the time (they folder flat and the headrests store in side compartments.) With the second and third row of seats folded down the storage capacity is massive. There are storage compartments in the seat cushions as well. Floorplan:

They're import brokers.

Thanks guys

I can't edit my original post, car number 3 purchased:

Agreed. The Rukus is a tremendously boring looking car, no character and overpriced. The Cube has a better drag coefficient than an R32 GT-R, a new WRX, BMW M3, Dodge Viper, MX-5...shall I keep going? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient

Okay, so for a while I've loved the Nissan Cube. I know for some of you it'll be a love hate car, but for me it's all love I wanted it from the minute I laid eyes on one on my first trip to Japan. After compliance became available for them last year, I'd been looking on and off. Then I saw some local examples, and I knew I had to have one. I've been looking every day for the last 2 months for one that suits my needs, bid on many auctions, checked out many dealer cars but for a number of reasons the sales fell through. Then this evening, meet my 2005 Pearl White Nissan Cube Cubic 15M purchased at auction. 1.5L 7-seater and the late model version or series 2 if you like. Absolutely immaculate example with 49,000 legitimate km's on it. Black interior. Grade 4.5 condition with not a single dent and the tiniest little fingernail or less sized marks on both bumpers. No accident history. Absolutely beautiful condition. A bit of background, the 1.5L shares the same engine and driveline as the Tiida. The 1.4L, the Micra. It's a small car with the most amazing amount of space. It seats 7 adults, and with the rear two rows of seats folded down it fits a Nissan option double matress (no I'm not buying one ) They also came in 5 seater versions. The Cube is a 5 seater, the Cube Cubic (otherwise known as a Cube3) is a 7 seater. They were the biggest selling small car in Japan with good reason - tonnes of space, quirky looks and character and more factory options than any car in the history of the universe, tiny turning circle and excellent fuel economy. I have a few plans for her, nothing outrageous. Custom plates were ordered tonight; 'CUBE.3'. She hits our shores in the next couple of months, more pictures then too. Here's what I intend the car to look like later on: I spent a bit over my budget to pick up this example so unfortunately it won't happen overnight, but it will happen. The overfenders and stickers are factory, called the 'Neoclassical Aero Package'. They're pretty expensive new from Nissan. As Big Kev would have said (rest his soul), I'm excited!

I was mainly looking at 1.4L's as 1.5L's were all out of my price range, until this one. Just lucky. You'll know what I got it for but please keep that to yourself I'm not a fellow I'm well aware of what it's going to cost to comply and make it's way down to Melbourne. This isn't the first car I've imported I've noticed that too, number of cars coming up daily has been dropping off significantly. And it's the same crappy examples not selling and coming up the week and repeating the cycle. I was very lucky with my purchase. It was from a small auction house. Here she is: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Da...ub-t329992.html

Torque's measured strangely on different dyno's. I wouldn't take it too seriously. Although she's a mighty ballsy little car now.

The white one with 49,000km's, yup. 1.5L Cube Cubic 15M. Grade 4.5 condition

Yah. Pics in Facespace.

Car number 3 purchased tonight. Hopefully the Skyline sells quickly when I put it up for sale in a few months time.

Just bought a Cubic

I wrote a letter when I was stopped for 30 seconds in a no stopping zone, I didn't get out of it. However my partner's car broke down, he moved it somewhere he wasn't supposed to for a few days, copped a few parking fines, wrote a letter and had them pardoned. Not much he could do when the car wouldn't move.

As would I

Pulsar now makes 13fwkw more on 1PSI less boost. Yay
