My 2010 Nissan Cube Z12. Not supercharged or turbo but has loads of stickers on it for extra horse power

Love that!

A car that makes me smile (in a good way!)

A bittersweet moment last night, selling the Legacy GTB after 11 happy years. Best (and most reliable) car all-round I've ever owned.

A keen buyer (especially once he hit secondary boost in 3rd) made for the easiest sale ever, but still a bit sad to see it go.









Photos for posterity, farewell old friend.
Had a B4 RSK similar to that smile

Yeah it’s not standard ride height, I’ve just had ohlins dfv road and track Coilovers fitted with New whiteline front/rear arbs and droplinks. Full fast road geometry set up to ohlins recommended settings, only driven it about 50 miles since fitted but handling is amazing and damping for uk roads is perfect, glides over rough and uneven roads incredibly smooth.

Sounds great, I'm not a fan of most coilovers but always hear Ohlins are proper stuff thumbup

Also got Ohlins on my Evo 6 Extreme, they are incredible.

My first of hopefully many JDM cars.








P.S. if anyone can help translate some Japanese documents I'd be grateful. Don't need entire documents translating, just a confirmation of whether the timing belt has been changed and when.

I found the timing belt sticker on my JZX using Google translate live on my phone. They tend to used Western Arabic numerals so it's not too hard to spot the right number ballpark.

Aren't these usually on a sticker in the engine bay? Remember that being pointed out on my Skyline and there is a similar sticker on my Crown. Also google translate will be your friend! smile

Also congrats - fine looking machine. I am the same as you - love both my cars from Japan.

When it comes to a daily driver, you'd have to prize the key for this one out of my hand with a crowbar.
