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:

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.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      S15 Spec R

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
