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

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?

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

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
