Following outcries from environmentalists about their HKS GT570 Racing Package, HKS has released their HKS GT570 Sports Package for the Nissan GT-R. The previous package wasn’t too environmentally-friendly as it was not fitted with catalytic converters, which made it illegal in some countries.
HKS went back to the drawing board and now offers a new kit for the GT570. It consists of stainless steel catalyser midpipes, aluminium intercooler piping, an EVC electronic boost controller and Super SQV blow off valves that come with the piping kit.
The turbo has been fitted with upgraded wastegate actuators and Super Fire Racing M45HL spark plugs are added to the engine. Revised power figures are not available but the Racing Package makes a more than healthy 419kW and 732Nm of torque at the wheels. The addition of “road legal” equipment shouldn’t make a drastic difference in performance though.
Pricing for the kit is about US$9,700, which reportedly US$3,300 more than the Racing Package. That’s the HKS price for going clean.
