Hi there,

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?

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
