The Day I Sat In A.....Nissan Cube Gen.III



Finally got a chance to sit in the current Nissan CUBE Gen.III last weekend.This is not just any Nissan Cube but the Rider Autech Ver.  Comes with a full original Autech bodykit and wheels.  If you are not familiar with Autech, they are sort of like the AMG or Brabus of Nissan.  Specialise only in customizing Nissan only with full manufacturer warranty!

I have to be honest not everyone will like the CUBE just like the JUKE.  Is either you really like the car or you really hate the car looks or shape. For me I am always a fans of Nissan CUBE Gen.II & Gen.III.

This car is spacious, as spacious as my MINI Countryman.  I didn't get the chance to drive it so I cannot comment on anything but was told by the owner it is sluggish due to the CVT gearbox.  Apart from that it's good for city driving as it is very comfortable.  As this is the first CUBE Gen.III in Brunei, you can tell a lot of people have never seen this car.  One will get a lot of stare and thumbs up as said by the owner!








The car name is CUBE and yet we have circular shape design on the roof

My Nissan Skyline ER34 BOMEX...Throwback To 2004!


Good morning readers!  Sorry for not posting much lately as I was away for school holiday in HongKong for 2 weeks.  

Today I want to show you guys my car way back in 2004.  These pictures were taken in a mini car show at  some parking garage, I think this is at Jerudong Park carpark lot. It was a fun road trip to this event as several of my friends convoyed together to the event.  

The kit shown here is full BOMEX kit coupled with my very first ADVAN wheels, Super Generation II.  Those wheels had customised offset for my ER34!

Which one do you guys prefer?  The old BOMEX or the current DO-LUCK?  One thing for sure I missed is that cool front mount intercooler by HKS.  It has two beautiful piping bended in and out of the bumper which looks very unique.

Car Spotting In Brunei - Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34


This is a very very very old picture taken in July 2004.  You can see my yellow car and a very very handsome blue Nissan Skyline R34.  This is the GT-R I was talking about, the one and only imported R34 GT-R to ever imported in Brunei even till today.   The remaining GT-R in Brunei is either a Malaysia neighbouring car or Skyline with fake GT-R badge.  

This car is fitted with genuine aero- kit from Veilside, its called the VS-GT and this one also has the option carbon fibre Veilside spoiler.  This car has since changed a few hands and the aero-kit had been sold and retro fitted to a Nissan Stagea Autech.

This car has lots of stories behind it.  It was once a full blown drag car competing in Miri Drag Race. It was then up for sell at a used-car dealer for a mere BND70K.  I really regret not buying that car when it was available.  One main reason is because the engine still require fixing so that put me off. This particular car is currently recsiding in K.B and has changed to grey color.  It's quite sad we don't get to see this car in its old glory form....

Sorry about the grainy picture because I was using a Nokia phone and social media wasn't a thing yet.

Here is the actual VS-GT aero
