Hi all I was wondering if you guys could give advice on a price I've been given for a full east bear kit.

$3150 is the price.

This includes the full body kit, sides, front and rear also the carbon fibre with the reverse scoop. Price also includes international postage.

Also note the kit is not painted yet.

Thanks for your input.

So what do you all think?

That's very cheap and I somehow doubt it is a genuine east bear kit as the font section alone will usually coat you about that shipped and the whole kit is usually about 5k.. But you never know it may be legit and you might be really lucky but all I know is that if you get it you will make a lot of people jealous, me included as I can only wish I had the money for the east bear kit :-)

Gimps, I'm glad someone else on here finds this kind of odd.. And friend in japan ey.. So if anyone else is interested in getting it at this price, is that something that you can organise :-)

And yes it is a very good price

I think it's all legit. Well anyways Im most likely to go ahead with it and see how it goes.

I might be able to get them cheaper if I dig into my savings and do a bulk buy (after I recieve the first kit) and redistribute them around Aus for a reasonable price. Do you think there would be much interest?

Cheers :thumbsup:

Yes I can tell you that there would be a big intrest as I tried to organise a group buy ages ago for the east bear kit and a lot of people wanted in but when the found out the price then people were a bit hesitant so If your offering the same goods cheaper the. I would say you will get quite a few people on board. Me included :-)

I have allready puchased a rear bar and side skirts + underlay parts from powerplay imports, cost me roughly 2200 including shipping. im guessing front end would cost me 3-4 grand from PPI.

soooooo If your kit is a genuine kit post it up and I will be more than keen for a front end conversion kit.

Well I was sourcing directly from east bear in japan. Pm me ur email and I will email you re quotes I got at the time. Remember the price varies depending on the exchange rate. Also the thing with buyin from powerplay is that obviously they are trying to make a profit so you will be paying more, I remember when I first started looking into the east bear kit the quoted me 8000 and that's why I ended up looking into it myself and found out I could get price down by about 2-3k depending on the exchange rate and shipping deals that could be had at the time as I know fedex japan has international shipping deals from time to time.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
