Hi everyone :) I am new here and I just bought a black 1998 GT-T 2dr and I was looking for a East bear bodykit to put on it,

I want to convert the front to GTR so I already bought the bonnet from car mate so I still have to find the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper.

Please if anyone knows where I can get it from let me know

Thanks

Hey,

Im looking for an East Bear kit atm too. So far ive found 2 places in Aus u can get it. Problem is its not cheap (quote from powerplay for front bar, frp hood clear indicators @ $3600 not including delivery!!).

Anyways these are the places ive found so far:

Powerplay (Sydney)

C-Red (WA)

http://www.c-red.com.au/

Japan

http://www.east-bear...hopbrand/003/X/

If anyone knows of a cheaper solution pls let me know.

im pretty sure RHD Japan also sell them, not sure on price though

As Alex said - they are extremely ly ly ly...expensive...might as well save up and get a GTR...after the cost of the full kit, freight and getting it properly painted and fitted, you're looking at big money!!

East bear is really expensive man. You can achieve almost the same results if not better with other kits. I have the kit from JDL which i bought two months ago however my car has been damaged by a garbage truck. I can offer you for $1200 or ono. It contains the two front fenders, front bumper,front bumper splitter, and side skirts.

i cant figure out a way of putting the images here since it a new layout and everything

im not really a fan of making a gt or gtt look like a gt-r, there are some great body kits that are made for gtt's and will fit far easier than the gt-r style ones which require new fenders, bonnet, bumpers ..

gtt's are great looking cars as they are, enhance them with body kits made for them rather than try to make it look like something its not :)

Just my opinion anyway, i used to drool after a gt-r's looks too :)

I personally love the look of the impul and altia? (some know them as nismo kits) for gtt's, have a look at them if you haven't already!

top secret has a pretty nice front bumper too.

If you want the gt-r look on the front you could even just get a gt-r style bonnet, gtt bumper and those moles as well... if you can get what im saying. I like that look alot, somewhat gt-r like but still distinctively gtt ;)

itll be a lot cheaper than a east bear kit both to purchase and fit, and you can use the saved cash for some performance bits :D

if you're dead set on the east bear kit - as previously said, nengun and east bear themselves, i believe you can sometimes get some of the parts off the japanese auction sites? like yahoo auctions or import monster but not 100% sure on that. not too sure if c-red still bring them in.

good luck :)!

i dont mind GT/t-GTR conversions. As long as you DON'T actually put a gtr badge on them. you're not saying you have a gtr but implying you own a gtr is ok (lol).

i just think the GTR front bumper alone, or more specifically the nose piece around the grill, transforms the entire face of the car to a whole nother level of aggressiveness.

miscellaneous GT/t.

you know the nose piece where the bonnet and front bar meet between the headlights. i LOVE that on the gtr. dont know why

^ totally know what you mean about the gt-r's front bumper :)

you can achieve a similar but distinguished look by combining a bonnet mole, gt-r bonnet, and normal gtt front bumper

my main opinion is that although the gt-rs front bumper and general look is awesome, the best kit for that purpose (the east bear one), or doing a "conversion" with the guards and whatnot is extremely costly, and you can get a very nice gtt for far cheaper with standard gtt kits. just my opinion though :)

and yes. NO GT-R BADGES.

You can try just a GTR style front bar made for the GTT.. I think they do the job without having to spend big bucks on a GTR conversion..

Heres a pic of mine, the bonnet lip is yet to be installed tho...

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
