yeah i was wondering bout that, but they did say its fibreglass, but im quite sure the east bear kit is plastic so not too sure how it works, will confirm with c-red when they reply my email, i think that should be relatively soon, will let you guys know when i find out.. but i really hope its around 3-4k for the kit.

maybe they get it cheaper than retail ... really no idea, but again, i'll confirm with you guys after i get the email from them

yeah the top secret bonnet is pretty nice, havnt been able to find a relatively affordable fibreglass/plastic version though.

1k only for fitting and spraying?

wow thats pretty damn good, i was quoted 2.5k to fit/spray half a kit on by a little company in perth, i've got to look around a bit more, but i was pretty sure he was a bit expensive ...

whoops, that reply was for the last page, didnt see that so much new stuff had been posted ..

i dont really feel the urge for a huge amount of power atm, but im sure the urge will come soon enough.

haha.. wish i had a money tree in my back garden .. i think im gonna be needing it soon

have you factored in rims and suspension? kit will look horrid without. And don't JUST get lowered springs...

Front bumper is urethane (hence the price) but i there might be a fibreglass version as well. But everything is fibreglass, skirts, lower skirts, rear bumper. I don't believe you can get anything else in plastic.

So price difference would be negligible even if the front bumper is fibreglass.

well we'll see, like i said, it was an estimate from him over the phone .. and he will confirm the prices over an email hopefully soon...

yes, looking for rims atm, hoping to do the whole exterior in one go. (rims + bodykit + lower)

considering either some nice 5 spoke volks, need to have a proper look around when i have time, but the few nice rims i have seen are volks, or if i can find a well priced set the standard gt-r rims since they are quite nice.

my mate can hook me up with his old r34 nismo gt-r struts, but i really dont know if that will fit my gt

and yes definitely will lower it, but i drive the car a fair bit, so probably not too low since the road i take most has a ridiculous amount of speed humps ..

i really do want the kit though, and if it is 3k, then probably my cheapest option and i would get it regardless, all depends on c-red's email, if that fails ill look around for the west yokohama or do the nismo gt-t bumper from jsai

im gonna get this done no matter what though :)

*edit* hoping to spend in total around 10k (or less hopefully) for the exterior (rims about 2-2.5k, body kit fitted/sprayed around 6k, suspension/lowering unsure of price, must check around)

and probably another 2k or so on interior (just some nice seats and of course rails)

GENUINE west yoko doesn't look much chop IMO

i reckon your best bet is the JSAI stuff, from all accounts, you do get through eventually. You'll get what you want without the massive EB price tag

yeah if the east bear from c-red works out to be too expensive again, i'm planning the nismo z tune gt-t bar with n1 lip mole, vented hood from vivagarage, east bear rear since its relatively cheap and i like the stock side/rear look, some of the other kids go wayy over the top and its not very practicle for day to day use anymore.

really hope that it goes for around 3k, but not overly optimistic about it.

hopefully he'll reply tomorrow, he seemed like he'd be good about his emails.

the west yoko kit looks pretty tough to find anyway, would rather buy local and save all the hassles of importing parts

How about someone sources a GTT nismo kit and fits it too the JSAI kit with Josh's help it will then look "good"

The actual first GTT done lives/visits my appartment so I see it every weekend or so, it looks shit. I think its just that grill!

I used to ask them for this kit but just thinking about who can fit it for me.

The problem is just the rear panel. It will cost you $3k for the whole kit (without painting and fitting it).

Then, you'll become Z-tune

guys, bad news, i called again to confirm with C-Red about the east bear kit, before i went over, and apparently their not bringing in the kit anymore.

Pretty confused since they told me they would over the phone the first time.

Maybe i'll try calling them another day and see what happens, but it was the same person both times ...

i was quoted 7k to fit a body kit on and spray my car a new color btw, was horrified (not from c-red)

back to the drawing board for me, but im planning on putting on a nice gt-t kit on for now, then sell and buy a gt-r later. gonna check out genuine west yokohama kit first though, east bear is definitely out, far too expensive now.

ninepond what kit is that? looks similar to east bear, but front and rear fenders have been changed.. very nice though.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
