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.

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:

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 know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
