Nissan & GT-R Festival NZ is a high-energy celebration of automotive performance, bringing together track action, show cars, trade and lifestyle into one standout event at Hampton Downs.

Built around the iconic GT-R platform but open to all Nissan-powered builds, the festival attracts a passionate and engaged audience from across New Zealand. From grassroots enthusiasts to serious performance builds, it’s a true representation of the modern automotive scene.

With a full day of on-track action, premium displays and a strong community-driven atmosphere, the event delivers a platform where brands can connect directly with their target audience in a genuine and meaningful way.

This isn’t just another car show - it’s a must-attend annual event for Nissan fans and performance enthusiasts alike.

If there’s one thing our events consistently deliver, it’s large, engaged crowds. Our audience is media savvy, tech aware and brand conscious - with strong spending power and real influence within their circles.

Whether your focus is automotive, fashion, hospitality, fitness, sport, food and beverage, accessories, electronics, technology or art, we provide a platform that puts your brand directly in front of the right people.

With over two decades in the industry, we understand the scene inside and out. More importantly, we know how to create events that not only draw a crowd, but connect brands with an audience that actually cares.

Nissan & GT-R Festival NZ welcomes a wide range of exhibitors showcasing products and services across the automotive and lifestyle space.

Azhar Bhamji has been involved with the 4 & Rotary brand since 1999 when the street car scene exploded. The opportunity arised in 2006 to become the event director and Azhar jumped into the roll. Starting with just 2 events a year, we now run over 15 events nationwide and that number continues to grow year after year. When he’s not organising events, he balances his time looking after his family, working on his cars, or racing his RX3 down the strip.

We have a small team behind the scenes which consists of a tight-knit group of friends who volunteer their time to do what they love, which is getting involved in the events scene. They too share the same passion for the brand and strive to make the events as good as they can possibly be.
