Hey just heard from east bear and this is the email they sent.

Good morning Dan-san,

GT-R genuine hood is O.K. But you will have to change hood-lock-stair,hood lock and hinge. Our hood is made for GT or GT-T,not for GT-R.

Thank you.

Excellent! I'm in for the front bar and lip then.

Smouch.

just wondering if it would be just as cheap to go through powerplay imports, as they probably might get it cheaper buying in bulk???

NO it will not be cheaper as powerplay would order the all the east bear products just as we would and then they would put a markup on it to make money. as i am getting the products directly from EAST BEAR SPORTS we are essentially cutting out the middle man. to give you an example:

Powerplay imports wanted to charge me 7700 just for the kit thats without fender covers rear lights diffuser and badges so personally i dont think that it is worth it when if we get enough people to buy together we also recieve a discount from East Bear Sports as well as our shipping costs will be split.

I actually was hoping to be able to fit it to my aero front bar (not stock)

Any ideas if that would be possible?

Im still interested if it will all work.

Let me know mate.

Cheers

East Bear make a lip for the aero bar.

is the front bar made from fibreglass? or plastic?

hey the 2 door is made from FRP the 4 door is made from ABS and im pretty sure you can make the original fit but you need to change the lock, grill stair and hinges.

at the moment East Bear Sports are only producing there New Type front bumper which looks like this.

Yes you are correct in that the front bar wont work with a standard bonnet and the side and rear will cost you 149000 Yen which with todays exchange is about $1800

thats a good price,

is this still going ahead?

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
