Hey bud, congrats on the buy! great to see you spent a little extra and opted for a later model series II in Bayside blue rather than spending 15K on a cheaper early model variant, great taste in terms of factory spec there.

If you don't mind, would you be able to detail at all your experience with Motorman at all as they have alot of imports, most with a premium price tag, however there isn't much feed back on them on this forum

Things like the warranty, dealer friendliness and how negotiable he was willing to be with his cars, things like that

I'm sure it'd help alot of the lads looking to buy a car

Anyways great buy mate i'm sure you're loving every bit of it!

Danny

looks the goods man, graf shots always look good for some reason.

dont even waste your time putting rota grids on a 34. a drift tek is less expensive and probably same sort of quality.

also consider lendo d1r's 18" for a 34 would look the best. 18x9+15 18x10+22 18x10-1

whatever rim pick the a nice size and offset, cause to many skyline owners rock weak fitment.

Hey Danny, Yeah no problem. Ill do up a little thing on my experience and service at motor man and post it up. I know how much feedback is important and especially when others are looking to purchase cars how much a personal recomendation can help.

No probs.

hye mate nice buy ...

My car is a 02/01 SII. The front bar has been changed to a SI. My front driver side bar doesnt sit flush with the gaurd. In my personal opinion the SII bar looks like crap.

Funny you should mention it though because me an my mates think its been in an accident. In the engine bay the welds near the struts are off, the engine bays been repainted all black, the windscreen looks brand new, the rear passenger side boot is off and there is a gap and the paint looks like it was resprayed recently. So our conclusion was it had been hit in japan and repaired (Quite well) then auctioned off and sent to aus.

Judging by tha pic u posted of what your currently looking at your prob not going to be interested but here they are anyways :cool:

Hey Dan, Yeah not a chromie kinda person... thanks anyway!

Cheers Dave, i need to do some more research on this. But i have good friends who know there stuff and ofcourse you guys to help me.

so is it series 1 with a respray or series 2 with the front bar changed?

Its a SII. They only made the bayside blue from 2000 onwards. The colour number is TV 8 on the engine plate. The seats are all suede, the front bar doesnt fit flush, the dials have a silver fitment and the its a 01 build.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
