Anyone Interested In "34gtsr" Front End

[JayMei]

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

$2,850

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.

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

[JayMei]

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

[mrgilly]

that looks sweet... out of my budget at the moment though

Hey Daniel,

Do you have any more pics of the kit?

If so could you please post them up?

Thanks mate.

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

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

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?

[SS8_Gohan]

i only have the front, not the rest of the kit

[LouLou]

Any more photos of the front?

By the way, ur car look awesome mate

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..

[SS8_Gohan]

i'm keen on side skirts, rear bumper AND lower extensions for the skirts/bumper

[Mr_G]

Bass, let us know how you go with sourcing directly from Jap Might be keen on the rear bar

[Nightcrawler]

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.
