Hi all I was wondering if you guys could give advice on a price I've been given for a full east bear kit.

$3150 is the price.

This includes the full body kit, sides, front and rear also the carbon fibre with the reverse scoop. Price also includes international postage.

Also note the kit is not painted yet.

Thanks for your input.

So what do you all think?

That's very cheap and I somehow doubt it is a genuine east bear kit as the font section alone will usually coat you about that shipped and the whole kit is usually about 5k.. But you never know it may be legit and you might be really lucky but all I know is that if you get it you will make a lot of people jealous, me included as I can only wish I had the money for the east bear kit :-)

Gimps, I'm glad someone else on here finds this kind of odd.. And friend in japan ey.. So if anyone else is interested in getting it at this price, is that something that you can organise :-)

And yes it is a very good price

I think it's all legit. Well anyways Im most likely to go ahead with it and see how it goes.

I might be able to get them cheaper if I dig into my savings and do a bulk buy (after I recieve the first kit) and redistribute them around Aus for a reasonable price. Do you think there would be much interest?

Cheers :thumbsup:

Yes I can tell you that there would be a big intrest as I tried to organise a group buy ages ago for the east bear kit and a lot of people wanted in but when the found out the price then people were a bit hesitant so If your offering the same goods cheaper the. I would say you will get quite a few people on board. Me included :-)

I have allready puchased a rear bar and side skirts + underlay parts from powerplay imports, cost me roughly 2200 including shipping. im guessing front end would cost me 3-4 grand from PPI.

soooooo If your kit is a genuine kit post it up and I will be more than keen for a front end conversion kit.

Well I was sourcing directly from east bear in japan. Pm me ur email and I will email you re quotes I got at the time. Remember the price varies depending on the exchange rate. Also the thing with buyin from powerplay is that obviously they are trying to make a profit so you will be paying more, I remember when I first started looking into the east bear kit the quoted me 8000 and that's why I ended up looking into it myself and found out I could get price down by about 2-3k depending on the exchange rate and shipping deals that could be had at the time as I know fedex japan has international shipping deals from time to time.

    • 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.
