is $913 delivered from http://www.nengun.com/east-bear/front-spoi...ior-term-bumper

wtf its just a lip. you might as well buy a full Z tune kit from somewhere like JSAI if you had an extra couple of hundred.

bit to much $$$ for just a lip dont you think???

anyone know where else i can get a lip like that without selling one of my organs???

It's the same as buying any sort of original FRP (fibreglass reinforced plastic) kit

They are expensive, but you get what you pay for

maybe speak to PSIparts and see if they have something similar

my GTT is lowered only about 2cm and I have side skirts and aftermarket rear bar .. wanted the eastbear front lip but am slowly changing my mind as I today scraped the front bar pretty bad coming out of a driveway. If I had a lip (an extra 7-10cm) it would have been smashed to pieces... not practical at all. I might just lower the car another couple of cms or get a different frontbar altogether that sits maybe 2-3cm lower tops

$913 for something thats going to get alot of hits often, unless you jack up the car which will loose the whole look you car has now, looks hot now

i was thinking of buying this lip, but then i knew it would get a beating so rather just chuck that dough into my engine.

hmmm... wonder what my kit is worth these days...

yeah, the lip is something you really have to be wary of. i think i have around 7cm's clearance, maybe 8. It cops a fair beating, but sometimes you just have to plan ahead. Like i know of a few car parks in the city i can get into, some i can't (can't get into melb central), etc...

if i drove in peak hour, or drove a lot in areas i don't know, i might take it off and put it on for track days, etc... looks good but :D

EDIT: hmm, nengun doesn't have the full GTS-R kit and my work computer doesn't have japanese so finding it hard to navigate the east bear site

thats why OEM plastic lip ftw :D

i love my GTR front lip cause its plastic, considering how many times ive scraped it, if it was fibreglass, it would have a million cracks over it.

im happy i paid abit more for a plastic then cheaper for fibreglass.

but $913 for a lip is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkill, not worth the $$

speak to powerplayimports, theyre eastbear dealers.

If it's genuine East Bear it's going to be top notch quality but that much for something that's going to cop a fair hiding?

NOT worth it unless you're a cashed up pimp.

Looks pretty sweet though!

yeah, if my front bumper,lower lip was not plastic, it would be in a zillion pieces by now. I have cracked my lower lip but i must say, it's hard up remarkably well considering the battering it's got.

And really, the only reason i cracked the lower lip was because i drove down to the Great Ocean Road after a MAAASIVE storm and there were very sizable branches all over the road, and no matter how much i drove on the wrong side i couldn't avoid them all, so my front lip ate tree branches for a few days. But it didn't shatter, just got a small crack in the middle.

Then the witches hats i ate a few times during a Motorkhana did some more damage but it's very clean cracks, no shattering and i would imagine not a huge task to plastic well and fix again.

just priced up the full GTS-R kit from East Bear - around 260K Yen, which according to import monster is around $6.5K delivered :D:O:( or a touch over $8K with bonnet :O .... i wonder if that makes my car more expensive.... :)

Give Jeff Ash a call at C-Red in W.A, i bought my East Bear front bar from him for a lot cheaper than Powerplay's prices............

you get a R32 East bear item?

i've called both C-Red and Powerplay before re: East Bear stuff... years ago, their prices didn't differ, i guess things have changed.

didn't matter anyway, didn't go through either to get my EB kit :D and had the extreme fortune of buying @ 106 yen ;)

i heard that C-Red arent supplying anymore East Bear stuff due to the market dollar comparison etc.

i so so much really want those side skirts with the lower lips that you got on yours Daniel...

ah yes, the pm... will reply asap

what skirts, rear bar you got at the moment? You got a top secret front bumper yeah? what does the top secret GTR run in terms of skirts/rear bumper?

ah yes, the pm... will reply asap

what skirts, rear bar you got at the moment? You got a top secret front bumper yeah? what does the top secret GTR run in terms of skirts/rear bumper?

Skirts are IMPUL and Rear bar not Sure maybe Impul as well by the looks of it, car came like that from Japan.

Yeah im running the GTR Top Secret Front Bar and Z Tune GTR Bonnet

i so so much really want those side skirts with the lower lips that you got on yours Daniel...

question is, how much you willing to pay for it? :blink:

if you did get the EB skirts/lower extensions, what would you do with the rear bumper?

question is, how much you willing to pay for it? :)

Sorry for jacking the thread,,,,,

does the EB skirts need the EB rear Bumper to line up ?

wouldnt the EB skirts line up to any Rear Bar?

and the real question is what would it be worth selling it for ? Daniel , PM me some figures who knows the price maybe right. i can still remember when you posted when you got that kit, i was in awe at the look of it so nice.

I just dont want to deal with Powerplay

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
