Well, theres a post in general discussion area thing about this, but thought id post up here to see if anyone is keen.

HKS will be bringing their R33 GTR out of retirement to take on the Heat Treatments R32 (now the quickest in the world) in New Zealand on the 17th Feb 2007.

Me and Aurora are going to fly over on Friday the 16th and come back on Sunday the 18th. Plane tickets are $189 each way with Air New Zealand and hotel shouldnt cost too much.

So who else is interested in coming?

Probably not since the airfares return are $380 ($189 each way) then you need probably $50 - $100 for accomodation, entry to the drags (no idea on ticket prices, they come out in jan) and food.

Id say $650-750 and you should be pretty safe.

Also those prices are from Sydney, so if theres enough interest we can all chip in $10 and hire a mini-van for the drive up to and back from Sydney.

Come on peoples, who DOESNT want to see the two fastest skylines in the world go head to head? :happy:

I'm officially barred up...

I'm barred up knowing that you're barred up....

I've said too much........

Anyway, it's be great fun but my money belongs elsewhere. I'll just wait for the cliff notes to come out. (read: video).

Yeah I was shocked at the ticket prices too.

And you will see the cars out multiple times during the day, not just once... and thus far, every time the HKS car has gone to an international event they dont strictly do drags with it either (those that saw it on the rained out day at willowbank will understand).

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
