R34 Gt To Gt-r Conversion

[NZMO]

I thought c-red no longer stock east bear or will not be any mre due to the dollar against the yen

i think it mentions it on their website

[Jonno34]

yeah but they did say they would sell off some existing stock, hopefully ill get lucky and find one there.

hoping to get it second hand locally or import from japan myself.

gonna look around on the forums in the for sale and put up a post in the wanted to buy section, hopefully will get something, definitely settled on the east bear kit now i'm pretty sure though.

Checked Jetspeeds GTR conversion bar .. its $1200. What a hock of shit!

[Jonno34]

haha yeah its not very nice

i think if i cant find a relatively cheap east bear kit i might just get the gtt nismo style kit from jsai or the nismo r34 kit from vivagarage.com as well as their type W hood. will work out to about 700-1000 bucks for the parts, alot cheaper than the 6k i've seen so far for east bear.

will probably save up for a gt-r if i do go along that road, but still hoping for east bear atm.

why not get the z-tune copy from jsai like i did ??

[Jonno34]

the gtt nismo z tune bar? yeah thats what im thinking of, trying to find a picture of it with a hood though.

saw the pic of your car, looks good, love the pic of the gtt z tune next to the gtr z tune

http://www.vivagarage.com.au/nissan/nissan_r34_bonnet.html

thats the link to the hood i'm thinking of putting on, sorry couldnt attach the pic, the site has it copyrighted i think.

also thinking of the "type N" kit from viva as well, but after seeing the pics of your car i think thats what ill go for (if i cant get a second hand east bear or something). was that just the front bumper + side skirts you changed?

[barry1024]

does jsai still in business?

their website is dead, i cant contact them...

also does anyone try this gtr style front bar?

[Jonno34]

not too sure, they havent replied my last few calls, will keep trying though.

no, never seen that kit before lol, what kit is it though?

[SS8_Gohan]

it's a shit one, don't get it

[Jonno34]

haha ok, does jsai ever pick up their phone lol? left messages, called them, emailed them... cant get through!!

[barry1024]

it's a shit one, don't get it

is that very bad?

i may get one if i cant get a z-tune front bar from jsai...

[Jonno34]

well ive looked at pretty much all the better brands bumpers for r34's never seen that before so probably not a great one to get, but i'm not too sure really

[drgnball34]

i was checking out the vivagarage wide fenders. does anyone know if the front and rear will fit with my exsisting front bar/side skirts and rear bar? All are aftermarket

[Jonno34]

i think those fenders are for gt-r.. not too sure tho, email them, they reply to emails

[drgnball34]

i did but since its a long weekend thought i could get answers here faster. Im not interested in converting or making it look like a gtr....i just want to fit my wide ass wheels!

[Jonno34]

well, i think the rear fenders on viva are for gtt, and the M1 are just wider gtt fenders, not too sure about the other one though, im emailing them since im also interested to find out and ill let you know when i get a reply

[dori34]

why dont you buy the oem gtr front bar thats forsale for $500 & add a lip on it(270$ or so from carmate).

the guys username was LAWZZ or something

plastic stuff > fibreglass!

[Jonno34]

if u used a real gt-r front bar you'd have to do the whole front end conversion, which is quite costly and difficult

whats the diff between fibreglass/plastic though? i know east bear uses plastic and so is very expensive

[NZMO]

whats the diff between fibreglass/plastic though? i know east bear uses plastic and so is very expensive

its much stronger and durable than fibreglass, the fibreglass is easy to crack/break etc. hence why most Nissan OEM parts are plastic (dearer)

when it comes to this you basically get what you pay for in pricing.

[drgnball34]

correct me if im not on the right track guys. If i were to get gtt wide fenders front and rear then i'd need gtr style skirts and rear bar? and some how get a custom front bar as i dont want gtr bonnet/hinges etc.
