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.

    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
