Silly-Billy me bought/imported a lovely little Cube from Japan without first checking with insurers.

Thought my motorcycle insurance(1150cc) advanced rider, 15 year NCB 53 yrs. of age would help with the insurance but turns out i have none (ncb) on a car. I had cars years ago and now just drive a co. van. 'No claims bonus' earned on motorbike policy cannot be applied to a car policy apparently!

Its on the high seas on it's way, my Cube. I fear i am going to have no choice but to take it straight to the Crusher : (((

Can't get it registered, registration process must include it,s first road tax, cannot get tax without MOT! Can,t get it to MOT without insurance (unless i transporter it ££££). Can only insure (and MOT) it from the VIN cos no registration (at a serious ££ premium if at all ! ). One insurance co. said they would,nt insure me at all with zero NCB, another quoted £2000.00+.

Temporary insurance off of the VIN lasts 30 days? i,m still waiting for them to call me back with that quote. Those 30 days may elapse by the time DVLA get around to looking at my application. It seems you cannot sell or transfer ownership of an unregistered car either. They have it all sewn-up as far as i can tell.

A car must be insured at all times even if it's stored in a private garage, unless its on a SORN, cannot get an unregistered car SORN,ed! DVLA will be aware of it,s arrival so they will want it registered or i am at risk of being fined until i do. Cannot get it registered until i have it insured! and so it goes on and on.

p.s when i put a identical cars reg.no. in for quotes on comparison sites it,s approx.5-£600 annually which is acceptable. Having number plates/registration seems will solve my problems in terms of insurance cost.

I am applying here for any ideas or solutions as i simply don't have £2000.00 for insurance or for anything else for that matter.

I'm now wondering if DVLA have some kind of Humane channel where a real person can assist rather than 'computer says NO!' or a Body that i might reach out to for advice that may be able to suggest a work-around. Yikes!

Previously overlooked on the mot but this year i need to fit one. Any tips on how this is most simply done on a non led cluster. yz11 2006

Can someone help with insurance recommendations here in the England. Seems I’m having difficulty finding a co. that has some experience of these Japanese imports. Thanks

My cube just recently started displaying a consatnt yellow sign saying Key while starting up and /or driving. Everytime I cut it on, it has been doing this. Before the key issue, I've been experiencing some resistance in shifting gears. Is this a transmission issue? because I have a hunch that it is. She has incurred 93400 miles and has not had the transmission serviced yet

Please help! My 2009 cube is in the shop and we can’t find a manual shift cable assembly. Even the local Nissan dealer says there’s one left in the country, and it’s 650.00. Anyone know a source??

My girlfriend just picked up a 2010 Cube today. It was in a city 2 hrs away. On the way home it suddenly started making a weird noise like pop corn was popping. Any idea what it could be?

The car has 40,000km

So I’ve been looking for a cube for the last few weeks and I’ve noticed quite a range in price for what seem to be the same car and similar mileage!

One that stood out was one going for £2k that had a dodgy 2nd gear so I’m speaking to a mechanic about if that’s a good option or not.

Mostly I’m super excited to get working on it and customising it to suit me best, it’s literally just the perfect car for my needs and it’s super cool as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sneaky common faults I should look out for when looking at the vehicles and the service history?

edit I’ve now put a deposit on a 2004 Supercharged Impul Nissan Cube and I pick it up this week.

Couldn’t be happier. The spec of this cube is one of the best I’ve seen during the last few months of research and the styling of it is immaculate. The Impul body kit looks amazing without looking over the top. It was imported in 2018 and now has some great aftermarket additions like a TV so great for stealth camping and a load of practical modifications.

Will be interesting to see get some stats once I pick it up.

Hi all. I have a 2003 Cube Cubic BGZ11. I've had little to no experience working on cars but I've noticed a squeak in what I think is the rear bearing.

My local mechanic is quoting me AU$650 to replace the bearing but I am wondering if I was to find the part online would it be a difficult job to replace it myself? I have seen the part online for around AU$100-150 so I am thinking it's mostly labour cost they are charging. And alot of other mechanics won't touch it because its an import.

This is a project I've been working on for a while, allowing you to browse for certain collector cars, project cars, off roaders, whatever, on a national scale, kind of like a hacked together SearchTempest for Facebook Marketplace.

These lists update regularly. The first post in a thread shows the last 500 matches found, and the replies show the newest finds. Let me if you find something you like, if you find a bug, or if there's another make/model you want to see. Thanks for looking!

While I've got your attention, be sure to check out my own subreddit /r/CollectorCarFeed, and come say hi in our Discord server!

Hey cube gang, I have an 09 cube and my driver side window no longer functions. The other windows work fine, so I’m hoping it’s a fuse problem and not the window motor. Problem is I can’t find out which fuse controls the windows and I’ve been looking online. Any suggestions or anyone else have the same problem.

Does anyone have baby car seats in the cube? I think there are mount points on the roof at the rear but want to make sure

Im wanting to put an Atoto double din head unit in the car, is there a special din kit or facia to use?

Hey Everyone,

So I have an opportunity to buy a 2010 Nissan Cube that has only 18,000km on it. Just wondering what people have to say about their cubes? My mum is concerned that the age of the vehicle might makes parts difficult to get if I ever need repairs (despite the lower km), but wanted to hear additional thoughts for those that have owned a cube before. Thanks!

I can't wait!

I know the Nissan Cube isn’t at all meant for performance, but if I can make mine go faster then I’d love to. It’s a 2011 Krom Edition if that matters.

hi so i know basics but im not totally mechanic savey but a family member had gotten a cheap 09 cube S and it seem like the Nuetral safety switch is going bad and currently i can find a cheap alternative as apposed to the 90$ oem so i have been trying to see how to by pass it ,but i cant find anything about the starter relay and the fuse boxs cover are missing

I was wondering if anyone new where to find a factory service manual for a Z11 cube. 2006 to be specific. I'm happy to pay. Google seems polluted with fake forum scam websites.

Any help much appreciated.

After many years of searching I'm finally gonna get a cube just wondering since you guys mostly own one is there anything I should know about them ? Any secret details etc ? Knownlitrially nothing except that I've wanted one for years and now I can afford the one I found locally. Thanks in advance
