nah closer to the COO (diahatsu.) and the current Bb - cube is unque.

I've had my hands on a COO . shape of the kia is VERY similar but the interior is different between them.

hey guys, i got the compliance for the cube on my company last week.

I should have about 5 Cubes at the shop on Friday, EX, Riders, SX

1 is already QLD registered , so any SAU members are more than welcome to go for a test drive and see what all the fuss is about.

My company is Imperial Auto Imports at 7 Herbert St, SLACKS CREEK.

come on down guys have a look, they are pretty unique!

On the sevs site it has the Cube model listed as Z11

What is the corresponding model in Japan as I cant find that model listed on any of the Jap sales sites!!

Those things are like dogs ball up my way, like the bloody plague and cheap as chips.

I'm looking at one for my misso when I move back to Oz early next year.

Good Job!

Nice to see that you're here Brent. Anyone who wants a Cube should go to him, top bloke.

Oh yea, I called you yesterday to check if the N1 still has the N1 turbos on them as I was tuning them over 1bar. I'm sure they are but just want to make sure before I blew the engine with ceramic dust.

Z11 is correct - 2003-2008(?) production years. The 'cube' looking ones, not the 'Mazda Metro' looking ones. :(

Cube Cars brisbane should be able to comply Z11 cubes (11/2002--12/2005 only at this stage due to 79/00 emissions)form next week.

1.4 litre 5 & 7 seat.

We have also developed cruise control for the cube which will be exclusively available through cube cars brisbane.

cheeky aren't ya :P

need to see one :(

You need to find a Cube that'll hit 110km/h with a road train going the other way first before worrying about cruise control lol

down hill one up with a tail wind should be ok....

best thing is it was tested to use 6.2 litres/100klms so nice & cheap to run, also just car insurance for the cube is reasonably priced as well

    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
