Anfanees Box - Z11 Cube

[Anfanee]

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!

And a bonus of the rugrat driving

More to come....

First purchase for the Cube....

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.

Next.... Arrived this morning...

Had heaps of credit @ RHD so i got these for free (in my mind)

Can't wait to put them on lol Just need to clean the handles before they go on.

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.

If only. GTiR pulsar conversion???

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....

[Anfanee]

Also trying to track down a list of optional extras that this car had. Interested to see what they made for it.

Simple headunit installs are good!!

Fyi cube cvt is different to micra if you ever have a problem with it. Not by much but different enough to make life difficult.

Is there much available from nismo for these things?

[Anfanee]

Good to know in regards to CVT. Hopefully it behaves.

Not a heap made directly for this car. Will be using universal parts.

i've already got the wheels....

[Duncan]

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

[Anfanee]

Yeah Dunc the steering is amazing. So far I. Really happy with it. Perfect daily.

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.

[Anfanee]

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.

[Trex]

Jismo cube!

[Anfanee]

The box passed rego at dickson first go!

yay!

Also ordered black number plates with white writing whilst i was at it. 6 week wait for those...... =(

[k_d]

Wow that was lucky lol.

Black/white plates look the biz!!
