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

  • 2 weeks later...

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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
