yeah i was wondering bout that, but they did say its fibreglass, but im quite sure the east bear kit is plastic so not too sure how it works, will confirm with c-red when they reply my email, i think that should be relatively soon, will let you guys know when i find out.. but i really hope its around 3-4k for the kit.

maybe they get it cheaper than retail ... really no idea, but again, i'll confirm with you guys after i get the email from them

yeah the top secret bonnet is pretty nice, havnt been able to find a relatively affordable fibreglass/plastic version though.

1k only for fitting and spraying?

wow thats pretty damn good, i was quoted 2.5k to fit/spray half a kit on by a little company in perth, i've got to look around a bit more, but i was pretty sure he was a bit expensive ...

whoops, that reply was for the last page, didnt see that so much new stuff had been posted ..

i dont really feel the urge for a huge amount of power atm, but im sure the urge will come soon enough.

haha.. wish i had a money tree in my back garden .. i think im gonna be needing it soon

have you factored in rims and suspension? kit will look horrid without. And don't JUST get lowered springs...

Front bumper is urethane (hence the price) but i there might be a fibreglass version as well. But everything is fibreglass, skirts, lower skirts, rear bumper. I don't believe you can get anything else in plastic.

So price difference would be negligible even if the front bumper is fibreglass.

well we'll see, like i said, it was an estimate from him over the phone .. and he will confirm the prices over an email hopefully soon...

yes, looking for rims atm, hoping to do the whole exterior in one go. (rims + bodykit + lower)

considering either some nice 5 spoke volks, need to have a proper look around when i have time, but the few nice rims i have seen are volks, or if i can find a well priced set the standard gt-r rims since they are quite nice.

my mate can hook me up with his old r34 nismo gt-r struts, but i really dont know if that will fit my gt

and yes definitely will lower it, but i drive the car a fair bit, so probably not too low since the road i take most has a ridiculous amount of speed humps ..

i really do want the kit though, and if it is 3k, then probably my cheapest option and i would get it regardless, all depends on c-red's email, if that fails ill look around for the west yokohama or do the nismo gt-t bumper from jsai

im gonna get this done no matter what though :)

*edit* hoping to spend in total around 10k (or less hopefully) for the exterior (rims about 2-2.5k, body kit fitted/sprayed around 6k, suspension/lowering unsure of price, must check around)

and probably another 2k or so on interior (just some nice seats and of course rails)

GENUINE west yoko doesn't look much chop IMO

i reckon your best bet is the JSAI stuff, from all accounts, you do get through eventually. You'll get what you want without the massive EB price tag

yeah if the east bear from c-red works out to be too expensive again, i'm planning the nismo z tune gt-t bar with n1 lip mole, vented hood from vivagarage, east bear rear since its relatively cheap and i like the stock side/rear look, some of the other kids go wayy over the top and its not very practicle for day to day use anymore.

really hope that it goes for around 3k, but not overly optimistic about it.

hopefully he'll reply tomorrow, he seemed like he'd be good about his emails.

the west yoko kit looks pretty tough to find anyway, would rather buy local and save all the hassles of importing parts

How about someone sources a GTT nismo kit and fits it too the JSAI kit with Josh's help it will then look "good"

The actual first GTT done lives/visits my appartment so I see it every weekend or so, it looks shit. I think its just that grill!

I used to ask them for this kit but just thinking about who can fit it for me.

The problem is just the rear panel. It will cost you $3k for the whole kit (without painting and fitting it).

Then, you'll become Z-tune

guys, bad news, i called again to confirm with C-Red about the east bear kit, before i went over, and apparently their not bringing in the kit anymore.

Pretty confused since they told me they would over the phone the first time.

Maybe i'll try calling them another day and see what happens, but it was the same person both times ...

i was quoted 7k to fit a body kit on and spray my car a new color btw, was horrified (not from c-red)

back to the drawing board for me, but im planning on putting on a nice gt-t kit on for now, then sell and buy a gt-r later. gonna check out genuine west yokohama kit first though, east bear is definitely out, far too expensive now.

ninepond what kit is that? looks similar to east bear, but front and rear fenders have been changed.. very nice though.

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
