GTR pricing and insurance in Hong Kong

[redback911]

Hiya Initial,

(SORRY OFFTOPIC)
Actually I just sold the TT, I wanted to sell it before it was one year old to get the best price. I have a GT2 being delivered in Febuary (Belgium car) or least I DID! It might not be a bad thing to delay it anyway now seeing as I in HK. Originally I wanted a GT2 Club Sport (Rollcage etc) but they could not deliver until towards the end of the year so I will probably pass my car on and wait till I get back to Europe.

Redback911: I sure hope that you were'nt driving while taking that pic! If you were, than you are a champion! One question about the Porsche TT....after upgrading your GTR to 550hp, do you still feel that the Porsche TT is faster than the GTR? I know of the Porsche's high torque due to it's big cc and I have yet to race a 911TT so I am wondering whether it's gonna be a close race or a whitewash.
About the Hiper exhaust, I have actually been recomended to use the same after my recent upgrade. Are they any better than the Super Drager in term of low end response? Would appreciate your advice.

Hiya Mate,

Sure I was driving! Once I balanced the camera it was easy to get off a few shots. Trying to change the CD and drink a beer while driving at 300 and taking a picture of the speedo is more difficult but practice makes perfect



The main difference with the Hiper and Drager that I noticed was sound, the Hiper has a much deeper roar and really resonates off the tarmac, walls, tunnels etc... I am sure there is a slight performence gain but the car had a complete overhaul at the same time so I cannot say what HP the exhaust contributed.

Redback, YOU ARE A CHAMPION! I will try doint the same but will substitute a bottle of red wine for the beer!

hey hey............in HK take the subway !! its a great chance to meet girls

hahaha anyways didnt know that GTR was blacklisted in Insurance companies!!...

if u want to fine tune ure GTR once u get it ...go to this place called GT Sport......... they like have like 9 shops in Kowloon and Hong Kong! ...great place i say!~

[Initial_E]

GT Sports ordered and imported the car for me. But I now go to Top Racing. They also do Dyno tune there.

[endlesskev86]

really??........is that place good....
r u chinese btw?

[Initial_E]

Yes, I am Chinese. That place is really big and you can imagine that they have a big overhead. So, the price is not that competitive.

o i c...... just read the previous thread in this post...
Intial_E u live in Canada too??.. where? i live in Richmond, British Columbia!
im gonna go back to HK this summer and check out my cousin's R34

[Initial_E]

Actually, I always travel back and forth HK and Canada alot. I am now in HK and will be back to Canada by the end of Feb or early March. Is your cousin's R34 a GTR? Maybe we should set up a mini meet.

[endlesskev86]

his car is a GTR.......but rumour has it that he might sell his car to buy a new one... which i dun know yet?
do u live like Toronto or Vancouver... cause that is mostly where all the hk ppl go to...
i live in Richmond btw ( which is Vancouver).... so yea

[Initial_E]

I live in Richmond too. I will be back there in March. Maybe we should meet up. If your cousin has the GTR, he should keep it. Due to HK's new emmission control, no skyline GTR will be able to be imported into HK anymore.

[endlesskev86]

that will be great...... we can meet up and stuff...
i dunno... my cousin is thinkin of switchin to a BMW...

r u a businessman...always travelling?

[Initial_E]

Yes, I am a businessman. I always travel to many places, but mainly station in Hong Kong and Vancouver.
