Hi everyone :) I am new here and I just bought a black 1998 GT-T 2dr and I was looking for a East bear bodykit to put on it,

I want to convert the front to GTR so I already bought the bonnet from car mate so I still have to find the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper.

Please if anyone knows where I can get it from let me know

Thanks

Hey,

Im looking for an East Bear kit atm too. So far ive found 2 places in Aus u can get it. Problem is its not cheap (quote from powerplay for front bar, frp hood clear indicators @ $3600 not including delivery!!).

Anyways these are the places ive found so far:

Powerplay (Sydney)

C-Red (WA)

http://www.c-red.com.au/

Japan

http://www.east-bear...hopbrand/003/X/

If anyone knows of a cheaper solution pls let me know.

im pretty sure RHD Japan also sell them, not sure on price though

As Alex said - they are extremely ly ly ly...expensive...might as well save up and get a GTR...after the cost of the full kit, freight and getting it properly painted and fitted, you're looking at big money!!

East bear is really expensive man. You can achieve almost the same results if not better with other kits. I have the kit from JDL which i bought two months ago however my car has been damaged by a garbage truck. I can offer you for $1200 or ono. It contains the two front fenders, front bumper,front bumper splitter, and side skirts.

i cant figure out a way of putting the images here since it a new layout and everything

im not really a fan of making a gt or gtt look like a gt-r, there are some great body kits that are made for gtt's and will fit far easier than the gt-r style ones which require new fenders, bonnet, bumpers ..

gtt's are great looking cars as they are, enhance them with body kits made for them rather than try to make it look like something its not :)

Just my opinion anyway, i used to drool after a gt-r's looks too :)

I personally love the look of the impul and altia? (some know them as nismo kits) for gtt's, have a look at them if you haven't already!

top secret has a pretty nice front bumper too.

If you want the gt-r look on the front you could even just get a gt-r style bonnet, gtt bumper and those moles as well... if you can get what im saying. I like that look alot, somewhat gt-r like but still distinctively gtt ;)

itll be a lot cheaper than a east bear kit both to purchase and fit, and you can use the saved cash for some performance bits :D

if you're dead set on the east bear kit - as previously said, nengun and east bear themselves, i believe you can sometimes get some of the parts off the japanese auction sites? like yahoo auctions or import monster but not 100% sure on that. not too sure if c-red still bring them in.

good luck :)!

i dont mind GT/t-GTR conversions. As long as you DON'T actually put a gtr badge on them. you're not saying you have a gtr but implying you own a gtr is ok (lol).

i just think the GTR front bumper alone, or more specifically the nose piece around the grill, transforms the entire face of the car to a whole nother level of aggressiveness.

miscellaneous GT/t.

you know the nose piece where the bonnet and front bar meet between the headlights. i LOVE that on the gtr. dont know why

^ totally know what you mean about the gt-r's front bumper :)

you can achieve a similar but distinguished look by combining a bonnet mole, gt-r bonnet, and normal gtt front bumper

my main opinion is that although the gt-rs front bumper and general look is awesome, the best kit for that purpose (the east bear one), or doing a "conversion" with the guards and whatnot is extremely costly, and you can get a very nice gtt for far cheaper with standard gtt kits. just my opinion though :)

and yes. NO GT-R BADGES.

You can try just a GTR style front bar made for the GTT.. I think they do the job without having to spend big bucks on a GTR conversion..

Heres a pic of mine, the bonnet lip is yet to be installed tho...

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
