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.

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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
