West Yokohama

Hey all,

Been interested in getting my hands on a more aggressive front bar for my R34 for a while now. Like pretty much everyone ever I'm a big fan of the East Bear look, but at $3000 odd from RHDJapan just for the front bar and bonnet I probably won't be affording that any time soon. I've heard about a similar style bar from a brand called West Yokohama that uses the stock GT/GTT hood, however I can't find much on em besides the Japanese website which I can't read. Anybody got any ideas where I could get my hands on one?

Cheers

Yeah man, heaps of times. He's an Aussie that lives in Japan, used to buy stuff off Yahoo Auctions Japan for you, wrap it up and ship it to you. He can also get parts from other sources (e.g. directly from manufacturers). You just have to tell him what to buy. Easy to deal with and his price breakdown is excellent.

I bought about 4 sets of wheels, some other smaller things like gauges, headlights and what not, and also a Cusco brake master cylinder stopper/brace directly from Cusco. Just remember shipping [non-organic] body parts are expensive due to dimensions, but Jesse packages them well.

Tip: It helps to put some information in your profile, doesn't have to be detailed but things like what car(s) you have and general location, so you can get better answers.

Thanks dude, solid advice.

I live in Melbourne for the record, don't suppose you'd have any clue on the price of shipping body parts like a front bar (as opposed to something smaller, eg. fenders)? RHDJapan quoted me a little over a grand for the East Bear GTS-R front bar + hood package which seemed pretty exorbitant.

Well I took your advice and contacted Jesse Streeter, apparently they've put a potentially permanent hiatus on shipping large aero parts due to the ridiculous costs. Super helpful guy though.

Is getting items sent via sea an option for most companies or would I have to find someone specific to do it?

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
