My New Daily Driver - Cube Cubic

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Ah come on...

But fitment will look so damn good if you lower it!

You selling?

How much for the Cube?

Ok fine keep it as it is, but I know you are shopping for coilovers

[llama_au]

I'm really not right now! Might be purchasing land. Takes precedence.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

I was joking about selling your Cube

Anyway, you need to come to SAU meet next time, I want pics of it

I ordered a new console lid latch - a whole $4.50 from Nissan Australia The sucky part is the 2-4 week wait.

Spent a silly amount of money getting all 7 seats and the headlining steam-cleaned, but it was definitely worth it. Interior came up much better with a professional detail. Also, some more quick photos. Needs photoshop coilovers hehe

I'm still loving the fuel economy.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Needs more low

Wheels look awesome and will sit nice and flush.

No mods to report. New centre console lid latch arrived, so I put that on today. Unfortunately didn't match my trim colour but it's not like you see it with the lid closed anyway. So now I have a functioning centre console.

And chucked on my JDMST sticker. The Skyline feeling lonely in the reflection. I drove the Skyline for the first time since I got the Cube today. Feels like I'm sitting on the ground compared to the Cube. Gone are the awesome viewing angles, comfy suspension and light steering.

Hey Juliette turn your Cube into a ute

[llama_au]

There's one for sale on J-spec at the moment.

That's a no.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Haha!

How much is it going for?

[llama_au]

I can't remember exactly, not much more than a normal one.

The Cube's come with a massive, obnoxious aerial which makes it impossible to go under tree's, into carparks, etc. I installed a much smaller aerial today. It was listed as being for a 350Z but came with universal adapters. It also hasn't affected reception at all.

Before:

After:

Ordered:

*Genuine Neoclassical Kit

*Genuine CUBE3 Side Stickers

*Genuine Bonnet Sticker

*Genuine Cargo Net

It was always my intention to have the neoclassical overfender & sticker kit on the car, I just had to wait until I had enough money because it's not cheap buying brand new genuine Nissan. But god it'll look great once it's on. At the same time I'll get the little ding that came with the car on the rear bumper fixed and resprayed. Happy

My kit and stickers arrived last week but I have a mental dilemma. I'll be respraying the rear bumper to get rid of a dent that it came with from Japan, and at the same time this will take care of the colour-matching issue the bumper currently has (that is a normal thing being that the paint on the plastic ages differently to the paint on the metal over time and pearl white is the worst colour for showing this.) Now obviously the paint on the front bumper has done exactly the same thing. I'm thinking if I go to all the trouble of doing the rear and then not doing the front I'll keep looking at it, knowing it doesn't match and regretting it. Arggggh, I hate feeling the need to repair something that isn't broken.

Looks like I'll save up to get both bumpers resprayed and the kit and stickers fitted professionally. I know the kit and stickers are something that I could do myself, but I'm always scared of screwing up things on the body. Maybe best to leave it to a professional?

ive seen these at a few import shops, they look like they'd be fun to drive haha

[llama_au]

They're not quick, but they handle pretty well which makes them quite fun.
