The guys are getting pretty serious now with the build up of their Hankook Drift GT-R, or should we say strip down because the GT-R right now is nothing but an empty shell. And since there’s no better time, it’s time to stitch weld all the underbody seams. This will enhance the body stiffness/reduce flex which will in turn enhance the predictability of the car’s handling on the circuit.

Once welded, they’ll paint the exposed metal with primer and continue to prep the car to drift! Stay tuned for more updates shortly.

HKS Premium Day was held just over a week ago now and it wasn’t all about on-track festivities. HKS also had an entire new turbo lineup to unveil. This is their new inhouse designed turbo lineup known as the HKS GTII.

Due to be released in March this year, HKS are also developing a full turbo kit for the Nissan GT-R that will utilize these turbos matched with a HKS exhaust manifold to directly compete with the current Trust TD06-20G kit that has been out for some time.
