When Will Nissan Cube Import Be Available?

[xALmoN]

Lol dude, i was actually asking for pix of kris' cube.

[funkymonkey]

the glory days of the japanese powerful car of the 1990's are over. the market is shifting and there is a new market of bean / toaster cars waiting to be SEVS approved!!!

that's great genius, now figure out how bean/toaster cars can pass the power to weight ratio to qualify as performance cars, or have disability aids or something other than "Eps thinks it's cool" to be eligible under SEVS, then get back to us

[Mr Eps]

hahaha

ok here's what you do

lobby government + petitions to allow a new category for acceptance to SEVS list

must be unique

powerful

and i must think it's cool

Didn't you say they were ugly before?? lol

[xALmoN]

It sorta grows on you, yeah it is a box. But its not too bad now, unique i'd say.

[FineLine]

The cube is one of those cars that is so ugly its just damn coool.

Would love to have one as a daily runaround.

[Chris Rogers]

for those wondering WHEN it was going to happen - I helped unload a Z11 halfcut this morn. also unloaded doors and misc bits as well.

I'll pop a pic up in a bit.

[FineLine]

I drove one of these today and My opinion hasnt changed. It is one keeeeewwwwlllll car. would own one at the drop of a hat if i had need for a little daily runabout.

Mine is now registered, and I'm in lurrrrrvvvveee....

[llama_au]

I'm looking at Cubes very closely at the moment. Think I'll keep an eye on the auctions for what I want to pop up.

I posted in your thread on JDMST chef

have you got the wheels on yet? how do they fit?

im looking at something for mine now

[Iron Chef]

After much drama with wheels, I finally ended up with these - Work Goocar Hemi, in 17x8 +30 which should make for some decent fitment...

I only just got them, so they're still in Japan - looks like I'll be rollin' on stockies for a little while longer.

We went for a drive down to Glenelg (beach-side suburb for non-SA people) and the response was amazing, I ended up giving out quite a number of business cards. The interesting thing is non-car nuts love them too, which makes for a much wider target audience than I'm used to!

[FineLine]

I suggested a cube to the mrs as a daily for her and she was warmin to it until she said "do you really want to drive the great ocean road in a cube instead of the maxima"...........sigh

[Mr Eps]

ahhhh kris those wheels look great! they will look PERFECT on the cube!!!!

esp on the black...

glad you stuck with japanese gear

EDIT

just an idea!!! - i see nankang sticker on those tyres... if you're happy with nankangs.. keep em!

but if you wanna ba REALLY cool...

change the tyres over to something a bit more of a fancier brand like dunlop or goodyear ... and paint the badge on the tyres like an oldschool muscle car

sif ship wheels out of japan with tyres on unless they're in a container.

wow, you went for 17s.

im currently bidding on some 15 inch vs-kf's but i think theyll go for more than i want to spend.

will be interesting to see that size on it.

The tyres are brand spankers and came with the wheels, and yes they're going in a container

Having said that, they're the wrong sizes (seller wouldn't separate them...) so some drifter will be getting some lovely fresh rubber to fry...

[Green_Dragon82]

Aerodynamics are for lamers.

I want one. Seriously.

Hi, Dude the are already available for sale as an import, I live in Brisbane and have seen quiet a few on the roads. I've also seen them at import yards, for around the $17000 mark.
