Hi there,

Hey just heard from east bear and this is the email they sent.

Good morning Dan-san,

GT-R genuine hood is O.K. But you will have to change hood-lock-stair,hood lock and hinge. Our hood is made for GT or GT-T,not for GT-R.

Thank you.

Excellent! I'm in for the front bar and lip then.

Smouch.

just wondering if it would be just as cheap to go through powerplay imports, as they probably might get it cheaper buying in bulk???

NO it will not be cheaper as powerplay would order the all the east bear products just as we would and then they would put a markup on it to make money. as i am getting the products directly from EAST BEAR SPORTS we are essentially cutting out the middle man. to give you an example:

Powerplay imports wanted to charge me 7700 just for the kit thats without fender covers rear lights diffuser and badges so personally i dont think that it is worth it when if we get enough people to buy together we also recieve a discount from East Bear Sports as well as our shipping costs will be split.

I actually was hoping to be able to fit it to my aero front bar (not stock)

Any ideas if that would be possible?

Im still interested if it will all work.

Let me know mate.

Cheers

East Bear make a lip for the aero bar.

is the front bar made from fibreglass? or plastic?

hey the 2 door is made from FRP the 4 door is made from ABS and im pretty sure you can make the original fit but you need to change the lock, grill stair and hinges.

at the moment East Bear Sports are only producing there New Type front bumper which looks like this.

Yes you are correct in that the front bar wont work with a standard bonnet and the side and rear will cost you 149000 Yen which with todays exchange is about $1800

thats a good price,

is this still going ahead?

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
