Website for kit

I sent a quick email to powerplay who entertained the idea of lowing the price a bit if purchasing a few kits.

I'm looking at the "34 GTR V-Spec Style" Kit.

is $2850 with FRP Bonnet, not sure on price in bulk, thought i'd see if anyones interested before I waste their time.

Let me know.

Based on research I performed some time ago(includes direct contact with east bear) I found that East Bear has 2 variants, thus make sure you are being quoted on the right one as $2850 sounds too cheap (given that the GTR bonnet is 1k alone) I was misquoated and realised after speaking to east bear directly that the quoted price was too good to be true.

The true GTR style front end comes with bonnet, hinges etc, grill, bar, small or large lip as per below;

Here is a shot of the large lip setup

Small lip setup

and here is the cheaper setup that from memory I believe did not require bonnet change!?

Anyway if you can justify the petrol bill for an R34 then this is an awesome kit!

in theory with the cheaper setup you do still need to replace the bonnet, basically the main difference between the two setups is that the more expensive one is a whole new front bar with added on bottom lip and new bonnet

the cheaper setup uses the current gtt bonnet with added on bottom lip and a piece called the 'top mole' basically because the gtr bonnet is cut straight at the end and the gtt bonnet has the piece folded over filling the gap as such the top mole fills in this gap when combined with a gtr bonnet to give that gtr look

after doing the numbers via the powerplay website the difference in price is as follows

r34mp03ah1.jpg

$2,850

Top Mole = $380

Front Spoiler = $570

Bonnet = $1216

= $2,166

hope this helps

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your enquiry.

Yes, the East Bear body kit is a perfect fit. The kit is made from plastic injection moulding & very high quality. We have fitted many of them & the customers are extremely happy. Due to the high quality of the finish, there is very little preparation for painting, we also have painters phoning us to say how easy it is for them to paint 7 fit.

The only pictures I have are of the kit actually on the car.

I would need a 50% deposit on order.

Delivery would be approx 4-6 weeks as they need to come from Japan.

The kit comes complete, front bumper, front bumper lower lip, front indicator lenses, bonnet & hood stays, all nuts,bolts, brackets etc for fitting.

Kind regards

Jo-Ann

-Thats is an e-mail from PowerPlay themselves, I have cut a few personal details from the email.

not interested in the gtr kit but very keen on the bonnet lip

The bonnet lip (or mole) is useless if you don't get the GTR bonnet, unless ur thinkin of cutting into ur existing bonnet.

So there is a bit of interest in their products.

I've had a couple PM's of people wanting exact prices.

I am going to ask one of their sales guys/gals to see if they can jump on here and maybe put up some pricing for say 1/5/10 kits etc. So we know exactly how much for how many.

I ordered a DO-LUCK front bar to suite GTT yesterday, so hopefully get that next week and get it sprayed up, should look the goods.

Does anyone know where you can get a pair of Cannards from?

I'm looking at getting the Rear Bar and Side Skirts from this package.

Please enquire about pricing on this.

I'm also investigating sourcing direct from Japan. Just waiting on freight quotes..

I would love this kit in fibreglass for $1,000 complete front end .... the nearly $3k price tag plus $1k to paint is just too much.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
