Website for kit

I sent a quick email to powerplay who entertained the idea of lowing the price a bit if purchasing a few kits.

I'm looking at the "34 GTR V-Spec Style" Kit.

is $2850 with FRP Bonnet, not sure on price in bulk, thought i'd see if anyones interested before I waste their time.

Let me know.

Based on research I performed some time ago(includes direct contact with east bear) I found that East Bear has 2 variants, thus make sure you are being quoted on the right one as $2850 sounds too cheap (given that the GTR bonnet is 1k alone) I was misquoated and realised after speaking to east bear directly that the quoted price was too good to be true.

The true GTR style front end comes with bonnet, hinges etc, grill, bar, small or large lip as per below;

Here is a shot of the large lip setup

Small lip setup

and here is the cheaper setup that from memory I believe did not require bonnet change!?

Anyway if you can justify the petrol bill for an R34 then this is an awesome kit!

in theory with the cheaper setup you do still need to replace the bonnet, basically the main difference between the two setups is that the more expensive one is a whole new front bar with added on bottom lip and new bonnet

the cheaper setup uses the current gtt bonnet with added on bottom lip and a piece called the 'top mole' basically because the gtr bonnet is cut straight at the end and the gtt bonnet has the piece folded over filling the gap as such the top mole fills in this gap when combined with a gtr bonnet to give that gtr look

after doing the numbers via the powerplay website the difference in price is as follows

r34mp03ah1.jpg

$2,850

r34nomfs02dt5.jpg

Top Mole = $380

Front Spoiler = $570

Bonnet = $1216

= $2,166

hope this helps

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your enquiry.

Yes, the East Bear body kit is a perfect fit. The kit is made from plastic injection moulding & very high quality. We have fitted many of them & the customers are extremely happy. Due to the high quality of the finish, there is very little preparation for painting, we also have painters phoning us to say how easy it is for them to paint 7 fit.

The only pictures I have are of the kit actually on the car.

I would need a 50% deposit on order.

Delivery would be approx 4-6 weeks as they need to come from Japan.

The kit comes complete, front bumper, front bumper lower lip, front indicator lenses, bonnet & hood stays, all nuts,bolts, brackets etc for fitting.

Kind regards

Jo-Ann

-Thats is an e-mail from PowerPlay themselves, I have cut a few personal details from the email.

not interested in the gtr kit but very keen on the bonnet lip

The bonnet lip (or mole) is useless if you don't get the GTR bonnet, unless ur thinkin of cutting into ur existing bonnet.

So there is a bit of interest in their products.

I've had a couple PM's of people wanting exact prices.

I am going to ask one of their sales guys/gals to see if they can jump on here and maybe put up some pricing for say 1/5/10 kits etc. So we know exactly how much for how many.

"We have fitted many of them & the customers are extremely happy."

as far as i knew, i'm the only one in Oz with this front bar at the moment...

EDIT: can confirm quality. You get what you pay for. I just had the car resprayed, and they're like. Dude, you've got a very, very good quality front bar there

Hey Daniel,

Do you have any more pics of the kit?

If so could you please post them up?

Thanks mate.

powerplay imports sell GTR bonnets with vents but i dont exactly like the style.

im planning to get this type of bonnet and yes hopefully cutting through it.

heres the type i want

99GTT--T2--BON_CAR.jpg

can someone get me a GB price on a bonnet lip with a GTR bonnet and one without

SS8 gohan....ur cars bloody crazi man...looks mad...can we get some side shots and some close ups of the ass lol

Edited by anDru

SS8_Gohan, that looks the goods champ :) Get more photos up!

I ordered a DO-LUCK front bar to suite GTT yesterday, so hopefully get that next week and get it sprayed up, should look the goods.

Does anyone know where you can get a pair of Cannards from?

I'm looking at getting the Rear Bar and Side Skirts from this package.

Please enquire about pricing on this.

I'm also investigating sourcing direct from Japan. Just waiting on freight quotes..

I would love this kit in fibreglass for $1,000 complete front end .... the nearly $3k price tag plus $1k to paint is just too much.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
