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

Paul and derk are top blokes very straight up and honest their cars are always higher end priced, but like they say what you pay for is what you get .. ive bought 11 cars off them so far none of them were lemons... from R32 gtr-v35 now...

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.

why respray? S1 can come in that colour. headlights look more S1 than S2

looks like it has nismo side skirts but not front or rear bar

Thought so having owned a s2 i was going to say it looked a lil different but i must say nice and clean one you picked up hard to get them in good nick now days...

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.

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:

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
