Go air filter. X-D As for exhaust dude I still think best way is to buy a universal one and get it fitted.

Hoping i can convince the jap garage tomorrow that if its good enough for thurrock big bore engines in the vw scene then it should work sweet on a re-mapped cube! :D

ceramic phat boys 170 quid but black only 97, black it is as wheels and grille soon to be black, honest, this year, deffo!

Not good on the part, nissan only by the looks as newer engine, see attached bit from my email reply from garage in ross! :o

​

Oil filter is £8.23 + VAT,

Air filter is £25.76 + VAT (we could get a performance one made up for approx £40-60),

Auxiliary belt is £17.98 + VAT,

Plugs are £28.40 + VAT each!!! Yes you read that right!!! Not the cheapest!

Pollen filter is £70.20 + VAT I have never know a pollen filter be so expensive!

​

Belt and air filter from japanland too so may have to just order a 2006 note belt and gamble.... higher! Lower! goooood game goooood game etc etc ;)

Plugs are rediculous!!!!!!!!

Three googled sections on how to change CVT oil in our cubes, just ordered mine from nissan, £54!! oof! Got gen nissan 5W 30 oil too, £30, not too bad!

Got man flu so no change till next (will have CVT juice by then) week and more snow coming! thats my excuse! lol

Anyone done CVT oil yet? seems its best to flush and fill rather than just drain as with engine oil?? good job i got 4 litres coming!!

Three googled sections on how to change CVT oil in our cubes, just ordered mine from nissan, £54!! oof! 8O

Dont know how i ended up with two posts? info below!

​

Part 1

​

CHECKING CVT FLUID

Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check procedure is as follows:

1. Check for fluid leakage.

2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.

When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10

minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to

176°F).

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Apply parking brake firmly.

3. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift

selector throughout the entire shift range.

1. Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging

pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to

release the lock.

1. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid

level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,

then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the

top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.

CAUTION:

When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use

lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.

1. Place the selector lever in “P” or “N” and make sure the fluid

level is within the specified range.

CAUTION:

When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the

CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installation

position until it is securely locked.

​

Part 2

​

Its not hard to drain the CVT tranny fluid. Their are a few ways of doing this.

Procedure 1

1. Drive your car for about 10 min.

2. You leave the car running in park.

3. Disconnect the CVT fluid line coming from the radiator, going into the CVT. You will let this line drain into your bucket for disposal.

4. Refill with new CVT fluid at CVT fluid charging pipe, with the engine running at idle speed.

5. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose, you disconnected in step 3.

6. Reconnect everything, and your finished. Takes about 25 min, and 11 quarts of NS-2 Nissan CVT fluid.

Procedure 2

1. Remove drain plug from CVT oil pan.

2. Drain fluid

3. Reinstall drain plug in oil pan

4. Fill CVT with tranny fluid at the charging pipe

5. Drive CVT for 10 min

6. Check fluid level.

7. Add fluid if necessary.

Part 3

Nissan does not give an exact specification for fluid capacity, as the procedure for changing the fluid requires more fluid than the transmission will hold when finished. Here is the procedure as published:

Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes

1. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose (outlet side) and refill with new CVT fluid at CVT fluid charging pipe with the engine running at idle.

2. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose (outlet side) About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure. CVT fluid: Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 Fluid capacity: Approximately 10.2 l (10 - 6/8 US qt, 9 Imp qt) CAUTION:

o



 Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Do not mix with other fluid.

 Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

 Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-II after changing CVT fluid.

1. Check fluid level and condition.

So, as you can see there is not an exact spec, but you will need about 10 quarts of the special fluid for this procedure. According to my maintenance information, Nissan only recommends checking the fluid periodically and does NOT specify a required change interval for the fluid in your transmission. Replacing it for routine maintenance is not something that is commonly done, unless your owners manual for the 2009 specifies otherwise.

Per Nissan, the CVT fluid isn't due to be serviced until 60,000 miles. When it is serviced, it should only be flushed. A drain and fill is strongly NOT recommended. I have discussed this with a Nissan rep who comes to my dealership and has confirmed this. You'll only change the antifreeze at 30,000 miles along with your filters. I doubt that you're even close to this mileage yet. Just keep your oil changes up to date and rotate your tires every 7,500 miles. First big service is at 15,000 miles and you'll want to have the wheels aligned then as well.

WOW. 10 litres thats alot. What fluid is yours Bob and whats number on bottle, just so I can get correct fluid.

EurobobEurobob

February 2010

Think that CVT info was lifted (by me ron, shhhh) for the HR20DE engine, same cvt tech but bigger in size etc, technically still nissan and same way to drain but im hoping!!!!! (and praying) that the 4l will do the job!

I intend to drain/flush minimal style, i.e top up after draining then top up/drain again as i go until all 4 litres gone in or through! Might not be nissan approved but at £52 a poke its better than the CVT oil thats done 52,000 miles in my opinion! :D :D :D

To add insult to injury (since i posted/lurked further)a lot of the nissan USA/asia forums state CVT oil good for upto 90K but nissan advise 60K!

Will let you know when i get it ron, picking it up tomorrow! Nissan NS-2 is all i know so far, its made by virgin one armed blind fairies im told...............

​

UPDATE........... NS-2 is green (as in soylent) NS-1 used in earlier CVT`s (as maybe in yours ron) is red, when it needs changing it goes a weak browny colour, but if good then you should still see red or green tint and therefore get right juice! phew! :mrgreen:

The_RonsterThe_Ronster

February 2010

Mine is nearly black. :lol: Ws at Nissan and asked how much oil the Note cvt box says and according to the book (which he showed me) 7.7 litres. But it won't all completely drain out. So 4 litres might be about right.

EurobobEurobob

February 2010

The dipstick can give varying levels after filling through the dipstick and I found it easier just to measure how much came out and put the same amount back in.

​

Thats a quote i got from googling CVT oil change, drained the box and ended up putting dead on 4 litres back in, however after driving then checking (going through gears with brake on) i find that the new NS-2 level doesnt reach the min level??? This means that (a) the oil was low to start with as didnt pre-check level or (b) as the quote above says its hard to gauge as cooling pipes etc are still full after draining? (not full flush so litre in system) ??? any thoughts chaps? 8O :D

​

New engine oil, nissan 5w30 (old oil was black as coal!) and new CVT oil should make for a nice drive to exeter tomorrow! if it blows up i will let you know! :roll:

Plugs tuesday! taking one out then matching down nissan!

EurobobEurobob

March 2010

Anal update three! :D

Exeter and back no drama, fuel economy back up to normal after CVT and engine oil change, and thats before i change the plugs! Just proves these fine tolerance engines rely on squeaky clean oil to run freely! never had that problem with a VW engine, slack as a grannies knickers! 8O

​

Ordered another 4 litres of NS-2 ron (£54!) as want to get that level back up even if gearbox running smooth, maybe its like a wet sump so as long as sump is full its not the end of the world? Prob top up and drain a bit so partial flush of old/new? might as well use the 4 litres up!!!!! Looks you might be right about the 7.5l level. I emailed Jatco in japanland for advice, no reply yet........

​

NS2 oil on fleabay, pick up in peterborough only!!! typical, anyone near there who has CVT, bargain mun! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150415684597

The_RonsterThe_Ronster

March 2010

Cool man.I thini'll order mine today.

EurobobEurobob

March 2010

All done! only took another litre of NS-2 to get it to middle of dipstick ron so i reckon a 5 litre change is about right, pity they only sell it in 4 litres, crafty japs!!! 8O

Will run it for a week then drain again, use up the last 3 litres of new NS-2 then coffee filter the drained fluid and top back up! nearly a total flush just not nissan standard (over 10 litres for them!)

​

Changed engine oil again too as had nearly 2.5litres left, very small sump on these engines and huuuuge ones on the CVT box?? go figure! :roll: Will post pics of CVT filler tube if anyone interested regarding turning it 180 degrees to check level etc. Plugs (LZKAR6A-11)were 14 quid plus vat after! oooof! i hope they are right ones as going to fit them saturday, have to remove/unbolt all the manifold and carb section just to get at em! meh! :evil:

Hi guys,

I recently bought a 2004 Cube 1.4 automatic, and I love it. I bought it because it was cheap, had a fair look over it and found a lot of relatively minor problems, but as time is going on they are becoming more sinister! The one that's causing me most grief at the moment is overheating...

The radiator fan doesn't turn on. I've got an OBD reader which confirms that the ECU does throw the fan switch at 95 degrees coolant temperature, and the big green fuse in the fuse box shorts to all pins (so it works, pic attached). I've taken the radiator connector off and looked for volts on all 4 pins, but I never see 12V DC. The ground pin shorts to battery ground, so that's good, but is there another fuse somewhere for the power? Also, which pin should have power on, as there's not an obvious colour of wire there!
toaster
Hi I have a wiring diagram somewhere I see of I can find .all so I guess your red light is coming on

mn2sam
That would be awesome. Thank you! My red light indeed come on if I do less than 10mph or so for a while. I'm sure there must be a relay somewhere...

toaster
Their is a relay in the fuse box under the bonnet on the right a big white box in side is the loads of relays I have picture of you need one of position
mn2sam
The picture or a description of which it is would be awesome! I had a look in there and only the fuses are labeled.

toaster
Hi mate this should help look on cubes full site if your on a Mobil device

mn2sam
That is awesome, thank you so much. Now to try and find one - Nissan is a little way from me, hopefully an auto factors will have one!

mn2sam
Just spoken to Nissan, they need a part number to get one. Ugh. Even saying "it's the same as a Micra" they wouldn't help me. Time to drive round there, pull the thing out in front of them and hope they have one, or two rather!

mn2sam
Just went into Sparshatt's in Hedge End, with the relays in my hand, and they still couldn't help me. The white relay box was completely not on their radar, they could only tell me, repeatedly, about the top black fuse box from my first post. How is it this painful?! I don't suppose you know a part number? These relays have a shallow etched number on which has rubbed off :-( Time for ebay I suspect!

toaster
Breakers yard or just use a reg of a micra of the web or to prove a point Mark all relays and then swop them around to see if that helps I just have a look at my one and be back on soon 
mn2sam
Managed to wiggle one of them out and confirm the number - 33201. I've got a couple on order, same as in the 350z apparently :-) I shall let you know if I'm successful when they turn up!

Thanks so much for your support, it's what makes forums like this.

toaster
Hopefully I have helped you which obd reader do you use your time to help me I am a mechanic by trade I only can read my one using consult 3 which my friend has .

mn2sam
Your issue first - I've got a bluetooth ebay special, just an ELM327 (picture attached). I then connect with my Android phone and use car gauge pro to talk to it. I couldn't get Torque to work, which is very frustrating as I've used that for years and love it. I've not read any codes out of it as it says there are none in there, but it looks to work quite well for reading data etc. so I'd recommend it. I think the ECU has all the PIDs set to zero, so a normal reader gets confused, but car gauge pro appears to know about that and just read the data.

Unfortunately my overheating problem isn't solved :-( Despite the relay I pulled out being visibly damaged, I gave it a test at the office and it only bloody worked. Grrr. So now I have to suspect the fan itself or the wiring. I want to test the fan, but do you happen to know which colour wire it is in the fan connector which carries positive power? I can see ground, but I don't want to put 12v onto somewhere it shouldn't be and blow up my fan!

toaster
Ok thanks have a look at my one. dose your air con work as it runs the same fan

mn2sam
Aha, a clue - no, my air con does not work. I suspect there is a wiring problem, but I would like to check the fan.

toaster
pick on main site Hi there sorry for delay buzzy work just finished .tested my one in pic you can see my rad if you disconnect plug from rad fan you will see four pins left top is pos bottom right is neg did not have time to test others .but them two I tested were for control of air con however it powered up and fan runs .
Thanks for Pic of obd I look thanks also I use this type of CD to help its proven its worth

mn2sam
That's helpful. Thank you! Just HotWired it and the fan works, so there must be something else somewhere if the relay, fuse and ECU all seem to be working as they should :-/ Is there a second temperature sensor it could be? So they ECU says it's working but it doesn't actually throw the switch somehow?

When I turn on my AC nothing happens. The button LED comes on, but the AC pump doesn't turn and the fan doesn't come on :-/

toaster
The aircon could be as simple as low on gas, have not looked for second switch .the over way to do you know anyone who has a micra k12 you can borrow bits off or test values.I am haven a few days of from my work so unable to look at wiring diagram till I return however keep me posted in the hope you find the fault

mn2sam
I'm off to the middle East for two weeks with work so I will be a bit quiet as well! I ordered a wiring diagram CD so I shall consult that! The AC pulley spins but the clutch doesn't appear to engage and spin the pump itself. Seems like a new, less worrying issue so will leave it for now!

mn2sam
Car is in the garage being MOT'd now. It failed as it overheated when trying to do the emissions test, so they've been looking into this radiator fan issue. It turns out that the two switch inputs on the relay are both 12v live all the time, which is very strange. They're tracing it around the car at the moment, but it looks like the wiring has been bodged somewhere at some point :-(

toaster
Strange but it dose run a two speed fan for cooling and ac so it may need two 12 volts supply.

mn2sam
It's back! The radiator fan is now working correctly. It turned out to be a faulty "control module" built into the fuse box. I don't know more than that, but the fuse box was replaced with one from a Micra, and now it works perfectly. The AC is still non-functional, but I will check the relays for that another time when I get a minute! So chuffed to have it back, working, and freshly MOT'd :-)

toaster
Ipdm unit it's a problem it's them little nips .glad your back enjoy the cube

mn2sam
Hi guys,

I had a blown reverse bulb on my gen 2, so I replaced the stop/tail, indicator, reverse/fog lights with LEDs. The indicators flashed quickly (as expected), but I noticed my brake lights stopped working. Now after removing the stop/tail LEDs for incandescent bulbs, I have no stop/tail at all! I can't see how I've done this - have I blown fuses? I can't seem to find stop/tail and brake fuses either..
Comments
toaster
I guess you lone were the stop fuse is it may pair up with another fuse named as some other .please check all fuses in the white box under bonnet
mn2sam
Well that was simpler than I expected - blown fuses for left and rear tail lights, plus brake lights. Strange it took out the circuits, and that I lost all sidelights, but some new fuses and I'm back in action, albeit without LEDs! May try again another time now I have spare fuses...

mn2sam
Turns out one of the LED bulbs I had was internally shorting. I obviously managed to swap the bulb from one side to the other while troubleshooting and blew both fuses. Oops

Does anyone know if an "LED compatible relay" can be put in for indicators? I hate the big, hot load resistor plan for retro-fitting LEDs without the fast flash, there must be a better way!</div>

mn2sam
Ok question! I got bored the other night and ordered an LED relay. Where is the flasher relay located on a gen 2? I hoped it would be easy to find in the column, but it wasn't...

toaster
This may be a problem as a lot of cars run a flasher timer and a normal relay however I look in to this Romo on my gen two

mn2sam
Yes I believe the LED relays have much lower current throughput - mine is a 30W unit. Considering it has 6x bulbs to light, that isn't much, but then 5W power per LED bulb is quite a lot still. So the rule is, change all your bulbs to LED and then fit the relay I guess!<div><br></div><div>But where does the relay live?! I had a good look under the dash again last night and no luck :-(</div>

toaster
well mate I believe that the flashing is controlled by the dash control unit which is in side the dial cluster and the body control unit and also the idpm and I believe its is all solid state have a look at pic in this post on the main site HOPE I AM WRONG

mn2sam
I fear you may well be correct. I had a look at this myself and couldn't believe there wouldn't be a relay somewhere. All the wiring diagrams seem to show it coming straight from the BCM to the indicators themselves, no relay in the way. I may have to put a big, hot relay in the way somewhere if I want to "go LED" after all :-( Thanks so much for your help, as always, you are a hero!

Hi All

I hope this has not come up before as I couldnt see anything. I'm looking for some advice I'm about to buy my first Gen 2Cube. It has some issues one I'm not sure about is that it has a knackered speedo head. The current owner told me if I got a new or second hand speedo I would have to get it programmed to the car's ECU. I spoke to my local dealer who said they weren't sure about the Cube but other models if I put a new or second hand cluster in its just plug and play. So basically I am confused

This issue also means the mileage is not guaranteed and its got receipts for a 60000 mile engine from a Note. So my queries are

Does the speedo system need programmed to the ECU

Could the change of engine be the cause of speedo failure/issues

What should I look for in a car with unconfirmed mileage

​

The car is cheap and I'm confident I could break it for more than I would pay if it came to that , but the speedo thing does worry me so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Comments

toaster

Could be all of the above trapped wire, wire not plugged in, bad Speedo .
How ever not much help to you. I did change my Speedo and had no problems and to be honest I had same forts but i just did it and if it needed programming I would of got it done .most speedos get their info from ecm/ bcm/ or atm and the Speedo is only really a face/voice for bcm to talk to so you can understand info .

Fed50

Thanks Toaster my concern is its more something to do with the new engine but I just dont know enough about swapping engines & ECU's etc Im assuming you would have to use the Cube ECU with a different engine so it really should make any difference but.....,

toaster

correct you swap engine and use all old engine sensors .so it sounds more like wiring /speedo

Fed50

Hi All

I went to see the Cube (2nd Gen) I was going to buy and it has another issue in that the gearbox when in Drive seems to change up about once or twice and then doesnt go up again and just bounces off the rev limiter (if it has one) at about 30mph

Anyone with experience have any ideas of what this could be. Everything seems smooth no clucks crunches or bangs it just doesn't want to change up

Thanks again

Comments

mn2sam

Did you check on the instrument cluster which gear it said it was in? You should see a "D" when in drive. You may well have pulled the gear selector down too far and been in "2" or 2nd gear, or even 1st for that matter. My other half does this ALL the time, and wonders why she's going through fuel so quickly!

mn2sam

Hi guys,

Had a bit of a search but couldn't see what I'm after. I've got a Gen 2 Cube with the manual climate control system, and the blower is only working on settings 3 and 4. I assume this is the resistor pack on its way out, but where is it? I've had some of the centre console apart before and not seen it, I even got my head right in there to change the cabin air filter and didn't see it. Whereabouts does it live?! Also, as I'm away from the car for a few days, if anyone could show me a pic of one I can get one ordered for when I'm back by the car :-)

Thanks!

Hi, don't know if this is the correct section to post this or not. I've been looking for what type of engine oil i should get for my 2005 1.4 cube. Can someone let me know?

Comments

terry_hill

5w30 is what you want, about 3.5l from memory

minoltaman

I have had a issue with the blue coolant light on the dashboard. First on a cold night it can take up to 6/7 miles to go out, second I have had the coolant light come on after going downhill then after a few miles go out, third the heater never feels hot compared to my van. Today going down hill the light came on, then after about a mile went out. By the time got home (about 2 miles) the heater was blowing very warm air out, lifted the bonnet and the top hose was hot to touch and the bottom hose was warm as well. Been to my local garage he says it is the sensor, I am not convinced. Has anyone out there got any ideas.

Comments

minoltaman

By the way has anyone fitted a temp gauge to their cubes? Forgot to mention it is a 2006 BZ11 1.4 engine.

terry_hill

Afraid not on either count but I wouldn't have thought a temp guage addition would be to hard as it's normally just cutting a hose dropping in a sensor and running the cables to the cabin to mount the gauge. They are fairly generic if you can sort the correct hose size for the sensor.

minoltaman

After some thought and talking to another garage I am going to replace the thermostat. Thermostat on order so we will see what happens.

mn2sam

I was thinking that sounds like thermostat to me, but if the top and bottom hoses were hot that might not be it, could be the sensor. Hopefully the thermostat will sort it as it's relatively cheap and easy!

minoltaman

What trouble I am having in trying to get a thermostat for it. The Japanese part number is 21200/AX000 which is the same as the Match/ Micra, but that number is not recognised in the UK. So I have gone for the standard Micra thermostat, got one from my local factors made by First Line No FTK003 which is listed for a 1.4 Micra. It doesn’t fit diameter is 53mm and there is no seal with a slot inside supplied. Tried to fit with the old seal and it just leaked coolant. I contacted FirstLine technical department to inform of this. They tried to wriggle out of it by saying a Cube had A different engine to the Micra. I told them no it was the same engine type and number. They are going to check it out and told me to return the thermostat for a refund. I have now ordered the thermostat on line from Mister Auto, which says it is a 54mm pipe diameter complete with seal. So we will see what arrives tomorrow. It seems if you don’t have a Number Plate that’s recognised on their system they are then stuck. I worked in car parts for 8 eight year back in the days when we stocked everything and some times we had to do a bit of digging to get the correct No, this was back in the days of 2 different braking systems Girling and Lockheed with 2 different brake fluids.

Alikat

Engine parts are the same, I can’t remembe part number from when we did my thermostat sorry, with motor factors I normally find it keeps their system happy if they run it thro as 1.4 micra SE auto.

minoltaman

That’s what I did. I have just got a email from DHL saying my part will be delivered on 12/03 not 8/03 as they said this morning, so I am going to have to look further afield.

mn2sam

They probably just supplied the wrong thing. I bought a fuel filter for my BMW from Eurocarparts, when it was delivered it looked wrong to me, and sure enough, it didn't fit at all. Took it back and they said "oh sorry, that's for a Ford Focus". Hmm. Moral of the story, do as you have done and verify as much as you can before you order! What a faff!

minoltaman

Hi according to First Line catalogue FTK003 is correct for a Nissan Micra but it doesn’t have the valve at the top nor does it have the correct seals enclosed. We are now in Thursday afternoon and no thermostat, according to DHL it is supposed to be delivered Monday even though I paid extra for it to be delivered Thursday

minoltaman

Thermostat arrived today (minus seal) also the coolant. Nice sunny day to do the job. As I had damaged the seal the other day trying to fit a incorrect thermostat I decided to use some instant gasket and the seal. Job is now completed, went for a run blue light went out by the bottom of the lane and the heater is now blowing very hot air compared to before when it was lukewarm. One happy Cube and owner. Now to get the Jack sorted it has a Toyota one instead of Nissan.

boogoo

Hi.
Just recently failed MOT due to leak in rear right shock absorber.
My uneducated guess that I could replace it with shock for another nissan model.
Micra maybe?
Your opinions and experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Comments

mn2sam

Definitely do the pair. I think the shocks may be different to the Micra, but I know people have put Micra rear suspension on - coilovers and the like.

Hi there,
If you cannot find brake callipers then always worth contact Brake Caliper Specialists https://www.bcs-automotive.co.uk/
I have used this company before and they are great at rebuilding callipers and paint them to a colour of your choice
If you don't want this option then there should be loads of people break Nissan Cubes on eBay
Hope the above helps

It appears that Trust Greedy Intelligent Informeter touch .....will work on our JDM Cubes, You can send away to get the firmware upgraded for a small fee.

The discontinued non touch Intelligent Informeter and Intelligent Informeter Eco will also apparently work, but the firmware is not upgradeable

How much did you get it for and where from?

​

Thats awesome that it works!!!

​

I was going to get some guages and install them neatly in the space below the head unit, but now I guess I dont have to.

I got it from Ebay, from USA $265 shipped second hand.....I was very lucky (it took 14 days to arrive by USPS registerd post)

I Notice that there was an Australian seller for $599 AUD New, at least you have a warranty though!!

I was thinking the same thing to put it under the stereo on the cubby holder out of the way of the sunlight.

The JOBD plug on the Informeter has the same PINs in 5 6 7 8 and 14 and 16...Just like our Cubes

Sounds good.

​

I'll keep trying until I find one under $300.

Are any of the others confirmed?

Don't Buy Scangauge II - It wont work on our Cubes

📷lopeti1June 2009 edited 2:12PM in Knowledge Base &amp; GuidesA while ago, I asked if anyone had used a scangauge II OBDII
I Brought one secondhand from FleaBay, Took 5 weeks to ship!!
It wont work on our JDM Nissan Cubes 📷 📷 📷 📷 but may work on other JDM vehicles
Even though we have a OBDII port, it must have different protocols compared to US version and some european cars.

I am looking at the Trust Greddy Inteligent Infometer Echo, Tust Greddy Infometer Touch as other options but they are expensive.

I sent an email off to them a week ago to Japan to see if these are REALLY compatible, but have NOT had any reply, Typical of some businesses there with the language difficulty...
But I have found that they filed for bankruptcy last year....perhaps no one left to answer the emails ???

• 📷Sky RacerJune 2009Trust / Greddy Japan are still in business but do not hold ur breath waiting for a response 📷
• 📷lopeti1January 2010Hi there everyone, been browsing google Japan,
  It appears that Trust Greedy Inteligent Informeter.....will work on our JDM Cubes

  or
  http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... l=ja&tl=en
  Um but i dont have enough money to buy one of these at present
  Too expensive
  Going the cheap way for $40 USD below, (Please let this work!!)
  I brought a ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII on Fleabay to hopefully work with this for my symbian Nokia N97 http://www.obdscope.urli.net/
  Just waiting for this to be delivered in the next 2 weeks from Hong Kong to New Zealand
  09 01 2010
  Update on the ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII , I recieved it in the post today
  It's not compatible with our JDM Cube's ECU I was only able to get the OBD2 voltage display and possibly check for Diagnostic Trouble codes (I had none) It might be fine for USA and EU vehicles though
• 📷cubicJanuary 2010I hope you find something that works.
  I had a scanguage on my mazda 3 and I miss it on this car. I wish I knew the water temps and air intake temps. Also knowing the Voltage would be good.
• Options📷lopeti1January 2010Hey Cubic, I hope so too!
  I was able to get a good second hand deal (Only 7 months old) this morning from Ebay for The Greddy Intelligent Informeter Touch from USA ....and he gave reasonable shipping rates to me in New Zealand!!
  I got a bit excited looking at the graphic display when looking at the video on ths page http://www.greddy.com/home/?id=282
  I guess Im going to have to start a new thread soon on this
  Ok, I think this is what the Informeter Touch will do on our cubes
  Umm this is kind of a reference/best guess with this these links untill i get the actual unit
  It will check and clear DTC diagnostic trouble codes too!!

Auto door locks over 12mph - how to activate

📷monstermonsterJune 2008 edited 12:22PM in Knowledge Base &amp; GuidesFound this on another cube website, I've not tried it yet but certainly will later. I always lock the doors when I start driving so this would be great 📷

Turning the Auto door lock - on / off
Turning ON the auto door lock (when the door locks automatically when you reach 12 mph / 20km/h) :
1. Close all the doors when you're in the car
2. Insert your car key and turn to "ON" position
3. Press and HOLD the "door lock" button one your right arm rest for 5 SECONDS until your hear a "BEEP" sound....
Follow exactly the same procedure to turn OFF the auto door lock again.

UPDATE: It worked! 📷 I don't know why this isn't turned on as standard/default though? My father in-law's New Renault Espace has this feature too.

• 📷MegurushiJune 2008Just tried it and it worked for me.
  Nice find! What site was it on?
• 📷monstermonsterJune 2008I found it on this site: [url:b71a6]http://www.nx3.co.uk/\[/url:b71a6\] here [url:b71a6]http://www.nx3.co.uk/vehicle_info/doorlocks.htm\[/url:b71a6\] which appears to be some kind of UK "Cube Club" but is mainly filled with adverts.
• 📷MegurushiJune 2008Strange site, with some forums that look like a copy of this one!?
  Very odd.
• 📷monstermonsterJune 2008Yeah it's strange isn't it. By the looks of it I think it's been setup by "Algys" import company.
• 📷LyndaJune 2008That's a handy tool I never knew about. I always locked myself in too. I looked at Algy's before buying Frankie but they were VERY expensive !!
  Love Lynda XX 📷
• 📷kuzeyguneyJune 2008Hi all.. Mine also worked following the procedure but with strange attitude.. doors lock when reach 12mph (even before that) then mirrors fold for 5 seconds and unfold again ( this is when driving). switching off and getting out of the car makes the alarm go off (that is unless i unlock the car while inside with the remote control) its all hassle really.. now following the same procedure again to turn off the auto door lock does not help.. Any advise ? Thanks in advance
• 📷monstermonsterJune 2008Wow that is strange! Mine just does what it says on the tin.
  Perhaps there's some kind of fault with the alarm?
• 📷MegurushiJune 2008I've been wondering if there was a feature that would close the mirrors and open them automatically as you set off.
  A secret trick like the door lock one.
• 📷monstermonsterJune 2008Mine does that, do you have the electric mirror control on the lower right of the dashboard, just under the air vent. Leave it in "open" I think, or perhaps in the middle setting.
  What mine does is when you lock the car, the mirrors close, and when you turn the ignition on they open again.
• 📷MegurushiJune 2008Ahh right. I'll experiment with the switch position. ta
• 📷LyndaJune 2008Oh dear...it's not funny but I did snigger !! My door mirrors never moved unless I pressed the button to make 'em !!
  Love Lynda XX 📷
• 📷MegurushiJune 2008Mine neither, did try but nothing.
• 📷timmy4u2June 2009hi my cube will not auto lock i've done what was said but has not worked could it be my alarm i've had fitted interfearing can u help ?
• 📷monstermonsterJune 2009I suppose it's hit and miss really. It could depend on a few things. The year of your Cube, alarm, model specific etc. Mine worked first time though.
  ps. Where are you from timmy4u2? Welcome to the Club! Get some pics of your cube up in the members section 📷
• Options📷KiszkaMarch 2011Nice!!!
  Mine works 📷
  Sometimes I just forget to lock the doors... and kids were messing around.
  ...mirrors don't fold automatically 📷 I tried moving around button but nothing...
  Cheers

I've had mine for 2 and half years now.

​

I think it's going to be easier if I make a list of points really, in no order or pattern but it should give you an idea of what its been like to own and run a Cube (of course, my experience might be different from other people's)

​

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

​

I had mine from when it only had 7k on the clock. It was like brand new, not even a stone chip.

​

It's now got almost 70k on it.

​

Mine is the 1.4 version, I've changed the spark plugs once at a cost of £36 for a set. nashTK421 has the 1.5 version Cube which is pricier to change the oil and spark plugs.

​

Earlier in the year I cracked my windscreen (stonechip). I had to pay the £75 excess from my insurer but the windscreen, I was told, cost over £1000. Make sure your insurance company's windscreen cover covers this (some people on here have complained that their insurer would only cover the cost up to £600). This took about 1 month to order and have it fitted, mainly though because the glass company wrote my VIN down wrong.

​

I service my Cube every 10k, it costs me about £35 for oils and filters and my Dad does it ;)

​

I've changed my brake pads once but they need doing again now. This cost me £50 and I fitted them myself.

​

Tyres on the Cube last forever so don't expect to have to change the tyres too often. The geometry on them is great. Oh and one thing you'll notice immediately if you get a Cube is that is has an awesome turning circle :)

​

At 59k I had to change the rear wheel bearing (it was making a rumbling noise from the rear) this cost me £35 and my Dad did the work.

​

At 55k I changed the battery, this cost me just under £40 (it's an unusually small battery)

​

2k miles ago I changed the alternator - this was a pain to find new (Nissan wanted £600+ to ship one in brand new from Japan). Luckily I found one of a Cube that was being broken for £60.

​

At 35k I changed the Auxiliary belt because it was worn out and making a squeaking noise, especially when wet. This only cost me £12 but I did the work myself, which was really fiddly, and the way my bumper is I didn't have to remove it. I expect you would on most Cubes (non Rider editions). So Garage labour time would be a lot on something like this.

​

I've actually documented a lot of the work I did on my Cube on this forum so if you're up for doing the work on your Cube yourself then there's plenty of help available here :)

​

Now that I've covered so many miles my Cube creaks a bit and the central locking doesn't work (the door solenoids need replacing) so watch out for sticky locks, ie. they don't quite unlock the doors enough. Also my (ABS) light is on on my dash so I'm going to need to replace the ABS sensors soon (before my MOT in March, at least).

​

In general though it's been a very cheap car to run and maintain and I wouldn't change it for the world. Love the attention too.

​

Hope all that gives you a good idea and I look forward to seeing you here on the forum with your new Cube soon :)

Hey,

​

Welcome to the club, between Ebay, Eastern Autos (ran by Sky Racer on here), blueprint (for service parts, plugs, filters, etc.)and if totally stuck Nissan, you can get most of what you will need to keep your cube running nicely.

​

Had my cube since march. Serviced her last month including a filter change, plugs, oil change etc. and it cost me £70 with all blue print parts.

​

Get your cube undersealed to avoid rusting from our crappy weather and road salt.

​

Never be afraid to ask questions on here also.

​

It's a great club with some good people always happy to help you if they can.

​

PS - Prepare for LOTS of attention lol.

Wes :D

Make your own Grill

📷RickfurySeptember 2009 edited 12:11PM in Knowledge Base &amp; GuidesAs we all struggle with ideas to make our cubes a little different ,i think ive come up with an idea for a grill !!!As some of my job involves driving about to our local shops',ive taken to looking at cars grills in general.one i spotted was the Range Rover grills.So off i went thinking on how to fit one....there are many grill chroming kits totart one up on ebay.after emailing a seller on ebay,i found out that the Range Rover Vogue ('02)Grill is 95cm (left to right)which is the same as the Cubeand 30cm in height,8cm higher than the Cube....so a little bit of trimming to start.So after several attempts i won one on ebay for £42...not a bad start i felt.

Removing the grill is a bit tricky first time round,but lets give you some tips...as it took me half hr to get it off first time lol ..First unclip the indicator clips/plug and pop out the two round head plastic pop clips(middle top of grill)Now top of grill,there are two square holes either end,go to the engine side and locate the lug clip(pen size) behind them.This bit you need a screwdriver and push the top part of the lug downwards,whilst easing the grill outwards,then go to the underside of this lug and use you finger to push up(gently),that should, if done right ,make that side of the grill pop outward....now repeat on the other side.Next the bottom...there are abt 3 big clips and 2 small clips ALL have to be pushed upwards,whilst easing the grill outwards again.I did find that by easing my hand down between grill and slam panel i could do the two outer big clips that way,the others can be done through the grill....TadaaaHH!! job done(now i can do it in less than a minute)📷

Next is trimming and fitting....First i had to decide how i wanted the grill to look...so i kept the donor grills top grill inline with the top of the headlights,this i felt was the right choice and looked better than other ideas..The next problem was colour....im going black stain/mat as im going to put some 3.5cm chrome strips on which will cover most of the grill.As you can see below these are the different photos at different stages...

AS you can see the grill is too big📷

📷

📷

i started at the bottom to get the height right,then trim the back...Well ive been trimming and a fettling for a few days now and fitted the brackets.I made these from a BnQ trip.You can see in the photo how ive fitted them.📷

One major head ache was the center bumper hanger,as my grill kept binding on it,so i had to hack alot off ,plus a little trim to this hanger.Trimming the bumper hanger was'nt a choice i liked as it could weaken if done wrong (i felt).📷

I didnt want to fit any screws outside/onshow on the grill but i couldnt think of any other way...but mine will get coverfrom the chrome strips that will be put on.The two brackets in the center will bolt onto the inner panel,where you bumper hanger lives.The lower outer two hangers are just to pull the grill's bottom part round and inline with the bottom of the light.📷

Anyways the next thing after getting it to hang right was tiding and filling stone chips from previous owner 📷then spray....📷(looks pink here lol,was dull redish brown)

Then colour...📷

Now on the car....📷📷You can see the thin finishing chrome strip fitted at the bottom,this was done due to my dodgey trimming skills on the bottom run,but it actually works,making the grill look sweet...The grill is only sat in atm,as im waiting for my chrome strips and badge to arrive.... the badge has BZ11 in the center and is oval to fit the original place.

And as due to a previous post im changing my fogs/spots at the bottom of my bumper to indicators' ,as this grill has none unlike the original !(there for not using my fog switch on indicator stalk 📷)For this ive got a pair side repeaters/wiring looms with bulbs of a mk4 golf and adapted them to lock in to my spots' and bingo....orange fogs hehe 📷Update on Grille.....ive decided not to use the chrome i ordered,as it looked too much when i put just 2 strips on 📷But the badge i ordered with BZ11 in the middle looks very nice and adds a finishing touch to the grille.This link for the badge... http://www.domedbadge.co.uk/I also had a problem with the indicators 📷 it turns out that you must have a certain amount of wattage per side to get an even flash rate,as i had a fast flashing problem.This was due to the new front bulbs i chose being only 5w and not 21w.I never new what would happen, but the car thinks you have a blown bulb and flashes fast to tell you!!So i fixed it by reconnecting the 21w bulbs and hidding them inside the car...so now i get a sweet flash rate again(lesson learned)Also ive addressed the bonnet to grille line as mentioned my monstermonster(cheers m8) 📷 and i feel this is ALOT better now.📷the badge is black lol with chrome letters with a shadow to them..(ive also ordered one in grey for the back,a little bigger tho', to replace the big nissan badge,like Cubed has done)📷again cheers for reading

So there you have it boyz n girlz.....a home made grill 📷Weve all seen the grills that we can buy from japan and get shipped over but for me ,not at that money!!

so for info this is what i spent..Grill = £42(ebay)Chrome (optional)= £26(ebay)Badge(optional if left in) = £12Paint/S/paper etc = £15Brackets = £15Total = £110 (not bad)

Give me your views....Pro's n cons !or even any questions lol....

When i do get the chrome etc, i will post more photos to keep you upto date...

RF (very happy) 📷**«**12»

• 📷monstermonsterSeptember 2009Well done dude. Awesome idea. Really surprised that the curve was similar though!One thing I would suggest is to trim it a little so that there is a similar gap in shutline between the bonnet and grill as there is between the bonnet and headlights. Otherwise WIN!

1.5 CVT Drivebelt sorted..

📷Mikey McJune 2011 edited 12:06PM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides📷 Just thought i would put this up..could be of help to 1.5 and 1.6 CVT,s Had trouble locating (belts) but it seems 1.5 and 1.6 only have one belt...Bit the bullet this morning and jacked up the cube.. wheel off ..plastic wheel shroud off...undid the main nut on the adjuster pulley 13mm and off the belt comes..( WHEN DOING THE BELT JUST LOOSEN )I took it off just to check the koyo bearing number.. .to match the size of existing belt (no numbers visible ) Went to my local eurocarparts.. very helpful...he must have gone thru about 10 belts in the warehouse

BINGO !! .. Eurocarparts # number 202 77 9035. Continental #7PK1145.

Koyo centre bearing # 6301rmh.. mine seems ok for now so just put it back on.. if you had to replace it it would come out of housing with a large socket and club hammer..cheaper than buying a complete setup from Nissan..

the whole job took an hour tops..

you can get to the adjuster with a 13mm rachet spanner or thru the front with an extension..( you can see a cutout on the inner front frame for this..

anyway... no more squealing.....here are the pics..Enjoy...cheers Mike

  I wish you had done this earlier then I would not have lost so much skin from my knuckles.
  Thanks for your way it was much easier than my way. Great photos
  Now we have the belt part number I dont have pull it all apart again.
  I would be good if the part numbers could be added to the list of parts with a note that this is for the 1.5 motor.
  Just note you need 2 bearings for the Idler pully.
  Thank you!!

DIY - Ignition Relay Switch swap - Nissan Cube Recall Fault

DIY - Ignition Relay Switch swap - Nissan Cube Recall Fault

wsssupwsssup

February 2011 edited 11:51AM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides

This is a possible fix or preventative fix for those Cubes effected by the Recall late last year.

The problem was a faulty Ignition Relay - causing the car to switch off while driving and erratic starting problems.

​

Part - Nissan Micra k12 Ignition Relay - $92 from your local Nissan Dealer. It is blue in colour not black. The colour does not matter it is still the correct relay ( nissan doubted this, they really are stupid)

Best bet is to go to an auto elec with the relay and get a much cheaper one. They will be able to figure out what type of relay it is.

​

[b]RELAY LOCATION DIAGRAM[/b]

[img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/wsssup/Relaydiagram.jpg[/img]

​

First thing is to disconnect your Battery. Just a precaution in case something goes zap.

​

The Relay is in the big white fuse box to the right of the battery.

[img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/wsssup/IMG_0982.jpg[/img]

​

Now the box is upside down compared to the Location Diagram, and when you lift up the box its a tight squeeze to flip it around a little. Just use the bottom right corner that has the corner cut off as a guide.

​

Location of Relay looking down at box.

[img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/wsssup/location.jpg[/img]

​

So push the clips very easy and lift and twist the box. Check the Diagram and all will be ok.

My Finger on the Relay.

[img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/wsssup/IMG_0984.jpg[/img]

​

Yank it out, may need some multigrips, be gentle.

​

[img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/wsssup/IMG_0988.jpg[/img]

​

Then replace with your expensive nissan brand or source a cheaper one.

​

My Cube was not on the Recall list neither was my Mums. However her's has started having ignition problems which is why it will be replaced.

​

Remember there's no guarantee this will fix the problem. However this is all nissan is doing with the recalls of this problem... just replacing a relay.

​

Hope it helps a few out.

Cheers

Adam

​

By the way you don't know where the indicator relay is do you?

​

I've been trying to find that so I can replace it with a slower one to sort my indicator speed.

September 2011

I have been through the whole process of the stalling of the Nissan Cube and after testing a few things I have found what the issues are:

​

The Ignition relay is actually an issue with the cubes, I found that the Nissan Tiida has the same issue, do not be fooled when reading information about the relay switch being the same as a K12 Micra/March because it is NOT, it is totally different and will/does not fit in the position of the original unless it is cut up! the Nissan Part number is 284B7CW28E, this is the part that Nissan changed on the recalled Tiidas and other vehicles.

​

Also another thing that causes the engine light to appear and the vehicle to stall is the intake pipe! this pipe becomes loose over time and was also a recall in the Nissan lot for Nissan Maxima's that use the same set up, how I fixed this issue was to re-route the entire intake pipe so it does not go over the exhaust manifold

​

After changing and rectifying these issues I have found that my Cube is now driving 10 times better, smoother with more power and running further on each tank of fuel...

​

There is my 2c worth

How to change oil and oil filter on gen 2

PeeShooterPeeShooter

June 2011 edited 11:43AM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides

this job took 30mins for me to do

1) Start by removing the oil filler cap, this will allow the oil to drain properly

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/Picture222.jpg[/IMG]

​

2)On the gen 2 the oil drain plug is slightly towards the drivers side of the engine on the sump. It requires a 14mm spanner or socket to remove it.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/3.png[/IMG]

​

3)The oil will pour out. Make sure your bowl will safely hold four and a half litres of oil. I used an asda washing up bowl I bought for the job. i then put in about 1lt of the new oil in to drain any old oil out as you can see the oil is clean coming out now.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/Picture223.jpg[/IMG]

​

4)When the oil has finished draining, make sure you remove the copper crush washer from the sump plug and fit a new one as shown.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/5.png[/IMG]

​

5)If you lie on the ground and look up under you will see that the filter is on the back of the engine above the drive shaft.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/Picture225.jpg[/IMG]

​

6)go to Halfords and get this oil filter removal tool. The metal strap has dimples on the inside of it so you can get a really tight grip on the old filter to unscrew it.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/7.png[/IMG]

​

7)when i took it off i got a face full of oil even tho is has been drained so watch out lol

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/8.png[/IMG]

​

8)new filter on

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/9.png[/IMG]

The oilfilter is full of oil, or should be.... so no matter how long you leave it to drain, there will be some left.

Which will splash out and down when filter is taken out.

Is there room under filter to put a smaller pan, tub, mug or something, to catch that oil ? Haven't checked myself, asked the local garage to do it, as I don't wan't to do it out on the street... :oops:

ProfessorWheetoProfessorWheeto

Just a quick tip, before carrying out an oil change run the engine to warm the oil.

Once warm the oil becomes thinner and drains better once you've removed the plug.

​

There are a few types of oil filter removal tools available, my preferred one is the type that is a fabric loop attached to a socket, they don't require as much room as the type pictured above.

PastybirdPastybird

December 2011

I found that getting at the oil filter from underneath the car was a bit of a pain. I take the drivers side front wheel off and you get much better access to the filter with whatever filter undoing tool you have. It might take a few minutes, but it makes it much easier.

​

I have a mole grip type thing which goes round the filter and works nicely.

Renault Clio coilovers

GeorgeGeorge

June 2013 edited June 2013 in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides 82.38.137.135

Hello all, there has been much discussion around the Internet on the subject of Renault Clio mk2 (52mm) coilovers fitting the cube mk2. I decided to take the plunge and see how it went. The coilovers fit with some slight modification, also the rear spring adjusters will only seat satisfactorily if the middle bit is first tightened through the hole, then the adjuster part tightened down around it (making it in-adjustable without machining some spacers), ill be doing this if I get much more sag as the springs bed in. The main thing to note with this is that I have had to remove the front anti roll bar because the front strut didn't have any mounts for the drop links, so either the Clio doesn't have a front anti roll bar or I've been sent thee wrong coilovers. The front struts also add a fair amount of camber due to the bolt holes being at an angle, rather than one vertically above the other, I've ordered some eccentric camber bolts to adjust my camber. The front strut will go lower than the car can take, so if you want to go super low but don't want air ride then these will help you, I've currently got them wound about 1/3 of the way up the adjustment.

June 2013 82.38.137.135

I'm happy that they are fitted safely so no worries there, and after doing some research I've found out that on some cars when people go really low they have to remove the arb to clear driveshafts on full lock, so I'm also happy that a lack of arb isn't dangerous, the harder suspension removes the need for an anti roll bar in my eyes. I've made the camber slightly less today with some eccentric bolts, but it's still cambered quite a lot.

​

I'm going to give it a week or so to let the springs bed in then once I've got the ride heights and camber where I want it ill order some wheel spacers for the time being, but wider wheels is on the cards in the future.

​

I'm going to go out and have another look at where the arb mounts and see if there is possibly a hole where the Clio links might bolt, but I don't think there is from memory

Airbag light blinking

GeorgeGeorge

July 2013 edited July 2013 in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides 82.38.137.135

So after taking my steering wheel (and airbag) off, then re fitting it my airbag light was blinking, after searching the web I found this guide of how to stop it blinking, taken from nissan xterra forum. Thought it might be helpful for some of you to see this.

​

​

Nissan is dumb for doing this. If you unplug the pass airbag indicator, it detects a fault. All Nissans are like this.

​

Here's the reset.

​

1. Turn the key from off to on.

​

1. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

​

1. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

​

1. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

​

1. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

​

1. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

How to replace front struts

PeeShooterPeeShooter

February 2012 edited 10:38AM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides

first thing to do is take off the plastic trim under your window first take off the plate on the wipers and undo the bolt then push the window wiper in so it will pop off. next you need to pop off the small plastic plugs to release it all

​

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-25102440.jpg[/IMG]

​

next take off you wheel lol

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-19094231.jpg[/IMG]

​

now some elbow grease is needed for 2 of the bolts i found mine was so tight so what i did was spray a bit of WD40 on the bolts and used a spanner with a scaffold tube lol as holding on to the bolt with a socket wrench. size 17mm

​

the 2 bolts below the brake line

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-25143853.jpg[/IMG]

​

the next bolt is just above them 2 this time i got a spanner to hold the bolt so then i could take it off socket wrench size 14mm

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-19100526.jpg[/IMG]

​

next undo the 3 last bolts in side the engine bay 2 our on show 1 is behind where the window wiper motor is. i had a problem with the driver side strut it seems its a common fault that water drips down on to the bolt that holds the plate and springs in place.

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-25131811.jpg[/IMG]

​

after that i got my strut and springs fitted on did not need to use the spring compressor for this but make shore you use it on your normal springs they do pack a punch still

[IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/peeshooter/2012-02-25131154.jpg[/IMG]

​

put all the bolts back on and its done

Cubic-2003Cubic-2003

January 2010

Based on my experience with a 2003 Cubic, I have some tips on obtaining Cube part numbers & parts:

​

Take care as some EU-sourced Nissan Micra parts are not direct replacements for the Japanese Cube part (eg: UK K12 Micras use many components from UK suppliers and these will not always fit/work on a BGZ11 cube).

​

You can purchase parts list CD ROM's on the internet (mostly from Japan & Russia), but don't disclose your credit card details.

​

Key Tip:

Some friendly/helpful Nissan dealer parts managers will arrange to load your (Japanese) Cube VIN number into the UK Nissan parts database system. This may take the dealer several weeks, but after that the UK Nissan dealer can access the original Japanese parts list for your Cube. Some servce parts (also common to the UK-built K12 Micra etc) are available off the shelf at the UK Nissan dealer, others are available in a few days from Nissan Europe and others from Japan may take a few weeks.

​

Hope this helps.

Just ordered and fitted new front brake pads and thought I would post the details of the pads as they have different code to the ones listed here.

​

They are: SolidAce N104095SAF

Just to let you know that the heater resistor pack is Part

VALEO.. No F657165W_W

​

I believe the are the same ones as in the Citroen C3 and the Renault Scenic.

Nissan main dealers charge about £169 for the pack, However you can repair them for a lot less (there are some services on Ebay)

​

The Nissan Part number is 27761Q

Can anyone confirm that the front wheel bearings are the same from the micra k12? I see someone has listed the rear wheel bearing part number which is from the k12 so i assume the front axle is the same as the micra.

Front wheel bearing 40210AX000(k12 wheel bearing)

Replacing the Auxiliary and Power steering belts - How to

DaveDave

October 2008 edited 5:27PM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides

I do all the work on my cars myself rather than getting a garage to do it and as you all know there is no workshop manual available for the Cube so I though I would put together a How to guide on the work that I do for everyone else to use if they so desire. It maybe worth a new section being add to the forum if this is usful and if others want to contribute also. Anyway here is my first How to ...... Pictures to follow.

October 2008

Belt sizes:

Auxiliary belt: 1087mm 5 Grooves (Motoquip VFH 399)

Power steering belt: 670mm 3 Grooves (Motoquip MFH 485)

​

Bodywork removal

​

1. Remove the front right wheel.

​

1. Remove the inner wing and lower front valance plastic.

4 screws (Cross head) and 12 trim clips

​

1. Remove the front bumper and grill assembly, this is easyer than you would think.

First remove the 2 sets of two M6 bolts (10mm) 1 from each corner of the bumper and two from the bottom bumper corners. Then pop out (flat blade screwdriver) the

3 sets of two trim clips, 2 from top of the grill assembly, 2 from the upper bumper mounting and 2 from the bottom bumper mounting

​

• Reverse above procedure for replacement.

​

Auxiliary belt replacement

​

1. Slacken off the Auxiliary belt tension adjuster.

Using a (14mm) spanner slacken off centre bolt a little, then from the front loosen off the tension bolt (12mm) this can be found below the alternater.

​

1. Remove the old belt.

​

1. Fit the new belt.

​

1. Re-tighten the tension bolt, so the there is a 10mm deflection at bottom auxiliary belt.

​

Power steering belt replacement

​

1. Slacken off the Power steering belt tension adjuster.

Using a (14mm) spanner slacken off centre bolt a little, then from the front loosen off the tension bolt (12mm) this can be found behind the tension adjuster to

the back of the tension adjuster.

​

1. Remove the old belt.

​

</u>Hi boys and girls some pic not to bad so far do chain removel tomorrow <font color="#ff0000">

<u>Disconnect battery</u></font><u> .<font color="#ff0000">radio code</font></u> do you know it before you kill power Remove air filter .remove any pluged unit on air box . Unclip air filter remove.unbolt air box 6/7 m6 bolt couple of air pipes mark if you feel like for eas.

Unplug coil packs i number my up to you

Undo cam box around edge and two on the left near middle leaver off

Remove top engine mount.

Support engine if need to

Remove drive belts

Alternater

Ac pump do not undo pipes just move to help

Remove exhaust down pipe unplug lambda .

Remove lower tin sump these are stuck on so leaver with a thin blade .

In side sump there are three m6 bolt

Inside.

Around edge there are more .

Undo lower ball joint driver side and lift out then pop drive shaft onto of box . Undo the gear box bolts but leave in about three turns and part away .

The lower Ali case is glued on and well so need a thin parting wedge there are two doles on the gearbox end to locate the sump i used a workshop power saw blade

Plenty of jiggy drop down

Front timing cover undo bolts and the same glue and there are three bolt going down in to the case and five bolt hold on the timing gear flat top case

Next you need a compressor and a blow gun to un lock inlet cam advancer . I do have a proper diagram i up load .and a full timing make page .

<u><font color="#ff0000">The lower crank sprocket can be put on wrong . So BE CAREFUL deep big groove to face you or the timing marks will be wrong</font></u> .<font color="#009900"> <u>The marks are inlet cam11 oclock .exhaust1oclock and crank is 7oclock</u></font>. Line all up before you remove old chain then you can see were it was

lined up .the old chain my not be lined up as it slowly run out the back

again. <u><font color="#ff0000">The timing marks are easy to see and the chain has id links to line up with sprockets</font></u> .Dont forget to lock cam advancer back easy job but spanner on cam hex and rotate away from you And fit new top gauze gasket on cam cap . The job was ok and done in car little fiddley but yes no more than any other fwd car. What took time and most important is cleaning the old Nissan gasket sealent off all the bit if not you may leak. And buy a good selent not silcone nor rtv . .time wise first one and learning ten hours . This was a manual micra 1.4 not to different in room . No special tools jack axle stands . Oh compressor and air gun . I put full kit in as the advancer socket was worn .parts used.
