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

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
