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.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
