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.

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
