Looking around to see if anyone knows anywhere i can purchase a full East Bear kit for the GTT.

I was hoping to get it through Powerplay imports, but it seems they have closed down or are non operational at the current time.

I live in Melbourne, but will obviously purchase from where ever it is available.

Thanks!

Yeah I can definitely help you with that but just a couple of. Things to know. The east beat kit shipped directly to you not painted which includes full kit plus bonnet and front lip is about 5000 not painted and with things at the moment as they are in Japan i am not sure as to the current condition of the east bear sports factory.

Also note that east bear has just released a new style of front bar which is essentially the bar that we all know and love except for one difference it doesn't have the GTR grill stair which means you can use your bonnet instead of having to buy one. If your interested in this option let me know and I can send you some pictures and a price.

To make life easier I will pm you my number so you can just give me a call with any questions

Lol I been good, I have been around, but just a lot more in the for sale section haha.

I honestly don't think that kit looks as good as the first kit :P

But just wondering, how much can you get the front bar to Melbourne for? :D

are you saying they dont make this kit anymore? with the gtr nose piece.

EDIT: just reread prev posts. disappointed they dont make this kit anymore...

Haha no no no of course they still make the original gtsr kit with the GTR grill stair :-)

And I will get a price on the new bar and post it up later today.

Lol Charles, in the for sale section ey. Trying to make some money :-)

the new style front bar (with lip) shipped to your door, unpainted will be aprox $1500.

i say aprox because the shipping is estimated and may vary slightly

Thanks for the quick replys!

I am defiantly interested in the older front, much akin to the black GTT posted, with the east bear bonnet to fit.

Do you work through a company that imports these kind of things? where in australia are you based?

Last i spoke to powerplay they quoted a few months to get the kit to Melbourne so im expecting considering the recent events in japan that a little waiting will be unavoidable.

Im still a month or so off finalising anything, but just getting a budget down and organising sources for everything.

Last i spoke to powerplay...

im not sure about powerplay. apparently they've gone AWOL on some customers and packed up and left.

people pay for parts. parts dont arrive. powerplay phones disconnected. no reply to e-mails. seems a bit sus glare.gif

Hey Andrew, did you get my pm. Like I said just give mean call anytime. Its easier to discuss over the phone and you can get all your questions answered at once. :-)

Also I wouldn't reccommend powerplay as they have quoted up to 8000 for the full kit with bonnet. Which i think is a bit ridiculous.

Or if you prefer pm me your number and I can call you with all the details

You said about $5000 for series 1 style full kit but what would the rough cost of a FULL kit delivered to Sydney be for series 2 style.

Front bar with lip

Side skirts with side steps

Rear bar with side steps

Rear diffuser

All just normal FRP or whatever they come standard as (no carbon)

Thanks,

Dave.

my old car :(

it's funny, after all these years... still the most sort after GTT kit :)

the EB kit was just quality... through and through

oh and my front bar was plastic, awesome quality - strong AND flexible, never cracked.

Took a 100km/hr hit of a very thick tree branch before the lower lip decided to crack, and even then it was only a clean crack in one spot that was easily fixed.

would have been shatter-ville if it was fibreglass

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
