I'm definitely in :) Put off going to the top gear festival for a meet up :P

Just curious if any Rukus owners are keen on a meet up with some Nissan Cubes in Sydney?

Any idea on when the meet might be? I'm keen :P

Looking for a fog light and maybe body kits, any ideas?

I'd be heading straight over to trd sparks (google them) you won't be able to really find anything locally. Also fyi if you go down the foglight router it's quite expensive for OEM ones as you require the harness and new lower grill for it too :) best to hit up Cductn for ideas on parts and costs.

Hi Guys,

Had my Rukus turned Scion XB for over a year now. Anyone else wonder why we are having 6 month service intervals.

Most cars these days are 12 month Service intervals?

Also how often are you checking the oil and topping up etc?

It is quite interesting when some European cars are every 12months or 10-15,000 km's but oh well it's cheap on parts in any case

Oh ok I'll look into TRD ones ... No I bought mine brand new in Victoria stock build 2

PS totally want your plates :P love the Rukus, 20's shouldn't be too hard to fit under lowered springs, although eventually some day soon you might wants bags or coilovers :P

Why do I get the feeling rentaspace will go through it like a bat outta hell

Damn u flex! How did u get those panels off lol, come to the Nissan cube meet I demand u share knowledge

I'm in sign me up! I've always liked the cube too just wanted a bit more space and power

Any meets coming up? Or anyone wanna attend a meet soon?

I'd be up for one for sure, can I get expressions of interest and we can organise a small meet and then talk about a cruise maybe next month?

HI everyone, new to be here, just ordered a build 3 2014 ink two weeks ago, cannot wait to receive end of April or early May~

Hey Mate welcome to the club, any idea on mods you're interested in doing?

Niceone flexin. Anychance i can buy your foggies from you?

Just an update on mine today we installed the lineout converter. Ran two gage wire and speaker wire to the boot and installed my subs and mono block amp. Damn im happy with how it turned out.

damnit i should of detailed the inside of the rukus before taking the pics lol.

does anyone know of a good Fiber glasser that can fiberglass my subs in. the box in these photos are from my Swift's build so it fitted in that nicely. now need to do something different

If you're in Sydney lifestyle car audio does some custom work, did a moulded sub box for my mates r34 a while back

ahh cheers. bugger forgot to put I'm in Melbourne

Try and message cductn on these forums, he may know a few in the Melbourne area

well i'ts been a few weeks now and the springs have settled nicely. this pick was taken at my local Kebab shop n thought it looked cool.

all i need now is a nice set of rims to set her off.

Definitely sits a lot better, especially on the rear of the Rukus it looks like it's on stilts :P How does the springs ride? Did you end up just going to pedders?

DSC_0780.jpg I finally put some decent mags on to replace the stocks. 17" Lexus is250 Mags with custom Grey Ash paint job.

Nice wheels :) Just needs to be a bit lower

Would love too but then it wouldnt get up my steep driveway lol

No excuse :P options are:

1) Scrape

2) Wood Planks

3) Airbag suspension (goes higher than stock :P)

Wow I do Sydney Traffic stop and start and well have a heavy foot, I usually average 380-400km's per tank O.o

Does anyone know where the tappets are coming from? I can't say I have actually heard them before? I do get creaking noises when I have to go up driveways at an angle and such from around the pillar area but I figure that to be the chasis twisting due to the firm suspension (tends to always be on 3 wheels going up driveways)

I only heard about his passing this morning :( and I only saw him 2months ago where he helped me detail my car.

I'm still in shock to be honest, such a friendly guy always willing to lend a helping hand and have a good laugh.

I'll never forget the cruises we had and the laughs all around

You will be missed Big Pete

Condolences to your dearest and closest

I will definately be interested in taking part of a celebration of his life

Hey All

Sorry I dropped off the radar for a bit and couldn't make it to the last monthly meet, I had a pretty bad health scare on the morning of the last monthly meet so was out of action for a bit.

I'm up for a monthly meet (would prefer a cruise) on either the 18th or 25th of Jan if anyone is interested?

Once again sorry for not making it last time :(

Oh niceone. who sponsored you for yours? and did you use your stock headunit or they upgraded that too?

Me and a mate, 1 afternoon and $1200 I got a clarion double din (no gps which doesnt bother me), door speakers, tweeters, monoblock amp and sub/box with wiring kit. The deck itself wasn't that difficult to wire up nor was the monoblock/ sub. If you can visit a dedicated audio place to see if they have adapters that will fit the back of your new intended deck and the stock toyota wiring (saves a lot more time), otherwise you can go down the route me and my mate did by getting a wiring diagram off a scion xb from the states and twist tieing everything to make sure it works then twist, solder and heatshrink, I personally haven't done much soldering in the past but to be honest it's not that hard just tedious and definately helps to have some spare hands. Also the deck itself in the rukus is super easy to remove, you just gently pry at the plastic surround that has the air vents on them, it'll pop off and you'll see 4 bolts holding it in place.

In regards to the monoblock and sub, I prefer to not have the amp in the boot so I ran it under the drivers seat, the passanger side has some weird metal bracket underneath it that I don't know what it's for so I just left it as is, best to take out the drivers seat (be careful not to scratch interior parts like I did :(), best thing of all is when you remove in the drivers side footwell the door trim plasting and plastic next to the pedals there's pre-existing wiring clips for other electronics in the rear so it's super easy to run :)

for refernce,

below is just a description of the wire colors if you're interested:

and this is how to remove the dash piece to access the head unit:

Off set and width go hand in hand... Need to know sizes before offset... Anyway a little poke never killed anyone

So could I run say for example 18x8.5 +30? in fronts and rear? Or what's the widest width and offset I could go in the rear?

Cool. Looking forward to it. My caldina is a little different fom the rest. Hope it doesnt put you off from buying as there great cars

LOL different how? I demand pics :P don't tell me it's pink, has hello kitty stickers all over it.

You've just described the perfect JDM car :D
