yeah but they did say they would sell off some existing stock, hopefully ill get lucky and find one there.

hoping to get it second hand locally or import from japan myself.

gonna look around on the forums in the for sale and put up a post in the wanted to buy section, hopefully will get something, definitely settled on the east bear kit now i'm pretty sure though.

haha yeah its not very nice

i think if i cant find a relatively cheap east bear kit i might just get the gtt nismo style kit from jsai or the nismo r34 kit from vivagarage.com as well as their type W hood. will work out to about 700-1000 bucks for the parts, alot cheaper than the 6k i've seen so far for east bear.

will probably save up for a gt-r if i do go along that road, but still hoping for east bear atm.

the gtt nismo z tune bar? yeah thats what im thinking of, trying to find a picture of it with a hood though.

saw the pic of your car, looks good, love the pic of the gtt z tune next to the gtr z tune ;)

thats the link to the hood i'm thinking of putting on, sorry couldnt attach the pic, the site has it copyrighted i think.

also thinking of the "type N" kit from viva as well, but after seeing the pics of your car i think thats what ill go for (if i cant get a second hand east bear or something). was that just the front bumper + side skirts you changed?

well, i think the rear fenders on viva are for gtt, and the M1 are just wider gtt fenders, not too sure about the other one though, im emailing them since im also interested to find out and ill let you know when i get a reply

if u used a real gt-r front bar you'd have to do the whole front end conversion, which is quite costly and difficult :)

whats the diff between fibreglass/plastic though? i know east bear uses plastic and so is very expensive :P

whats the diff between fibreglass/plastic though? i know east bear uses plastic and so is very expensive :ninja:

its much stronger and durable than fibreglass, the fibreglass is easy to crack/break etc. hence why most Nissan OEM parts are plastic (dearer)

when it comes to this you basically get what you pay for in pricing.

correct me if im not on the right track guys. If i were to get gtt wide fenders front and rear then i'd need gtr style skirts and rear bar? and some how get a custom front bar as i dont want gtr bonnet/hinges etc.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
