    Cool Purple Haze

    Year: 1990
    Model: GTS-t
    Color: Was black now Purple Pearl with Blue Flake
    KM: 106000 on Chassis
    Engine: RB25DET

    Well I bought my R32 on December 27, 2005... Probably the best thing I ever purchased
    I dont have any pics of the car when I first bought it, I never owned a camera at the time. But im sure you all know what a R32 GTS-t Type M looks like... It was black just like 90% of them out there...

    Car was almost totally stock when I bought her, All she had was an HKS Silent high-Power Exhaust

    Current Engine MOD list:
    RB25DET
    Custom down pipe
    Full 3" Exhaust with 4"x12" Sliced polished tip
    Apex i Intake
    Perrin MBC
    FMIC 610 x 280 x 70MM
    Custom IC Piping

    Interior MODs:
    Nardi Personal Steering Wheel
    Bride Artis III Driver Seat/Bride Seat Rail
    Cusco E Brake Button
    Canadian Flag Hockey tape E-Brake Handle
    Alpine IVA-W505 DVD/Nav Head unit

    Suspension/Wheel MODs:
    Front Kei Office Coil Overs
    Rear HKS Hypermax III
    Kazama HICAS Lock Bar
    Tomie 2way LSD
    Front 17x9 Motegi Touge, 215/40/17
    Rear 18x10 Motegi Touge, 235/40/18

    Exterior MODs:
    Shaved rear wing and trunk key hole
    Custom Purple Pearl with blue flake, Some call it Midnight Purple but I call it Purple Haze
    Full Origin Stylish Kit

    When I bought her...

    This is not my pic but she looked the exact same minus the tint

    Back road in Medicine Hat, Ab

    Rockin no front bumper like my car is half the time...

    Here I am Stretchin here legs at Race City... This pic was taken summer of 07. RB25 Swap, Coils, Intake and Exhaust installed




    The aftermath of Drift practice and spinning out into a giant mud puddle


    After awhile I got bored of the stock body and fitted an Origin Stylish Kit... Well worth the wait Also needed to pull my rears a little more.



    Rattle canned the kit n bashed her up a bit





    And then after a year of that I got bored again n decided that I wanted new paint. So I started on the bodywork last winter and took her in for paint in the beginning of last spring...

    It was a really tough choice picking a color, I really wanted something that you dont see every day on an R32. Originally I was going with an Emerald Green with Gold flake. But I changed my mind and went with a Pearl paint... A Black base with LOTS of Purple Pearl n Blue Glitter.
    It looks insane in the sun, Really pops. And is super stealth at night which is key. I call it purple haze, Alot of people think its Midnight Purple but its not...





    Interior Shot

    Yes I know its dirty, Shame on me lol... I was working lot.

    Getting her ready for winter hibernation


    First snow last year made me sad and happy all in one

    Thats is how she sits right now... Plans for the summer are still kinda up in the air. Im thinking about some new rims, clutch, and more suspension work.
    Also want to fab up some custom frame rails to fix my crushed one from the previous owner

    I think we talked downtown a few years ago. Your car is sick. I wasn't sure which way I'd go with the body but then I saw your car and that cinched it haha. Very nice. And you fooled me on the paint too i definitely thought it was midnight.

    Fit of the kit?? I was a little off in the rear. I had to fiberglass the tha gap between the right rear quarter panel and side of the rear bumper. Pretty minor really.
    Also had to sand down alot so the door could shut decently...
