Cube Cars on "LED brake lights"

Cube Cars — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:09:27 +0000

If you fit aftermarket LED stop/tail lights you will cause ecu problem and the car will not rev over 3000rpm nor the auto kick down. This is due to the load the bcm needs to tell the ecu if the brakes are applied or not. do not fit stop/tail LED lights even if you fit an in line resistor.

My cube came with a Single Din Sat Nav above the double Din Stereo which is useless and I have removed it. I have a cubby that fits but would be nice to get a factory one fitted if you have one?

CLOT on "help: key remote needed"

CLOT — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:38:24 +0000

i have a metal key without a remote central locking on it. i would want a remote key as it is more convenient to use than having to lock it through the keyhole. just wondering is there any way that i can have it changed to a remote button locking. i went to ask a key cutter who does car remote cutting but they said that the nissan cube is impossible to do. has anyone here have the same problem

mrjaywilliams on "Nissan Cube Cubic turns over but does not start no spark or fuel immobiliser?"

mrjaywilliams — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 11:56:44 +0000

Hello everyone.. I have a problem with my Nissan Cube3. It would not start.. it turns over but there is no spark (the spark plugs were all taken out of wells when checking this) and there is no smell of fuel coming in (again with the plugs out). I am not sure if it has anything to do with the immobiliser (if there is one) or something else. It is keyless entry and keyless ignition. The key fob (with the key) has only unlock and lock buttons which operates the central locking perfectly. It has just come into the UK and It has not been starting since its arrival. I am getting a local garage to look into via their diagnostic equipment on Tues.. I will post the outcome after. However I would welcome any suggestions as to why the fault occurs, if it is common with Cubes or any one with similar experiences. Thanks Jay

Andy Wana on "[2008] [Diamond Silver] [Andy Wana] - Andy Wana's Cube Cubic (YGZ11)"

Andy Wana — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:14:14 +0000

Character is always something that I look for in my cars, more so than performance. It is the one thing in my opinion that adds the most value to any car ownership. So when the time comes to look for a daily drive that will fit a growing family, character is automatically the no.1 requirement. I always want cars to match my personality - so something quirky, crazy, oddball and charming it is then. I thought long and hard outside the box, and stepped into the Cube ... <img src="http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4302261052_388bdffa43_o.jpg"> The Cube replaces our beloved RX8 (which replaced the MX5 Clubman). In a way, it is an upgrade from our rotary experiment. I upgraded from a 4 seater to a 7 seater. <img src="http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> I upgraded from a 1.3L engine to a 1.5L engine. <img src="http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Fuel economy is literally halved, not that it mattered when I had the RX8 as my daily. <img src="http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/EGG80X/Andy%20Wana%20Rx8/IMG_1442s.jpg"> The love affair with the Cube went back as far as 2007 when we went to Japan for our honeymoon. On paper/brochure/computer screen, the car looks rubbish. When I saw it in real life, I was smitten. I was in love with it. It's a very Japanese car in every way (even if Renault owns Nissan these days). It's quirky, cheerful, efficient and functional - much like Japan really. Its 4 sides are ALL DIFFERENT TOO! Where else do you see asymmetry on a car but on the Cube. Little wonder then that the Cube is one of Japan's most popular urban car. <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4302260986_4e72c93b6a_o.jpg"> When I got home, I went straight to business and ask importers locally here as to when it'll be available. Most were telling me 6-12 months, but 2008 came and went in a blink of an eye. I eventually forgot about the car and were contemplating the likes of Mazda2 and Honda Jazz to replace my RX8. The head is with these cars, but the heart is still with the Cube. <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4009/4302260902_a2f81f83e6_o.jpg"> So when word came around that the Cube is finally available in Australia, I went back to my hunt. I looked at a few Cubes before coming across this 2008 Cubic model with only 9600km genuine kms on the odometer. Not wanting to miss out on the urban car of my dreams in an excellent condition, I test drove it, fell in love with it all over again ... and bought it. <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4302260868_9afcdb2e07_o.jpg"> The HR15DE 1.5L engine came from the JDM Nissan Tiida. It has a CVT auto transmission, which is smooth and pleasant for city driving. Cabin insulation is pretty good too, which is a bonus if you want a quiet and comfortable ride. <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4302261186_fbdb7fecc3_o.jpg"> Performance is LOL to say the least. Taking about 11 seconds for 0-100km/h? But what it lacks in performance, it makes up for it with charm. Kids absolutely love this car, thinking it's like a real life LEGO/Tonka van or something. People usually either smile when they look at it, or just stare in horror at the box on wheels. "Square" is a commonly used term around this car, so I've gotten used to that pretty quickly. I love to mod this car and it's now looking a bit different to the pics above. Love to share my experiences (and mods) with this car and chat all things Cube with fellow owners too here.

msbluesky — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:27:19 +0000

Hi, I am reluctantly selling my much loved cube. I will be getting a company car shortly and can't keep the cube. It is a 2005 type Z11 5 door sky blue 1.4 auto. It is taxed till end Dec and MOT till November. I have owned it for nearly 2 years and it was registered as new in this country by the previous owner. So only 2 owners on the log book from new. It has about 44,000 miles on the clock. It has a CD DVD Radio fitted and screens in the rear head rests which are also remote. It has factory alloys and is in great condition. I am looking for £5,750 for it, I will be putting it in auto trader next week for this price but I thought I would put it on here first incase anyone was interested. I would rather it go to someone who really likes cubes. Feel free to inbox me if you would like any more details. Thanks Helen
