Ivan's R32

You all remember my good buddy, Ivan and his white R32. It's the one with the uncommon wide body kit on it. He had a decent amount of modifications done to it. After replacing his RB20 with an RB26 from a GT-R, it was time his car got a new coat of paint. Although many of us wanted him to keep his R32 white, he wasn't too fond of it after realizing one day that his car looked exactly like a few of the R32's around, especially a certain 'someone' running Quarter Mile a garage in Sunway.







So one day, he decided to paint his car hot pink! Yes, I know! What in the world was he thinking?!?! After trying to convince him that the R32 will not pull pink off very well, he still insisted he wanted to do it. One Thursday evening, he sent me a message saying his 'pink' car is out. I was really disappointed...

I had put off seeing his car until Sunday came and we decided to meet up for a short drink and catch up. We met at the Jaya One mamak as the usual Old Town Kopitiam was full. As I entered the parking area, I kept looking out for a bright flashy pink car. No way was I going to miss spotting it. However, after I made my way through the cars and swore to myself that I had better get my eyes checked as there was no pink car at first glance. Then this caught my eyes...



He had tricked everyone in to thinking he was really going pink. This 'Sea Blue Crystal' wasn't so bad. Looks better than I expected I must say. The color kind of reminds me of Domenic's car of Autostyle Performance Cars in Sydney. If you'd like to know more about this car, head to AutoSpeed.com and read their 'Extreme V-Spec' article.


Or this Do-Luck R34... An article of this car can be found on TurboMagazine.com at their 'Do-Luck Nissan Skyline GTR34' feature.


As well as this privately owned Do-Luck Kitted R34 in the UK. More pictures can be found on the GTROC.co.uk forums.


Anyway, back to Ivan's car... After a short drink, we headed home to snap some pictures of his new colored 'Sea Blue Crystal' R32...

The 'Sea Blue Crystal' paint really wraps around his D-Max wide body kit nicely doesn't it. Although right now the kit is only seen on the rears (the fronts were lost in a drifting mishap), the standard R32 GT-R will have to do for now.




His wheels need refurbishing too...






The interior. He installed a roll cage as he was previously drifting.




Oooohh, cut off switch.


Nismo gauge he got from the half-cut he bought for the RB26 transplant.


Some Defi meters hooked up to keep you aware of the important readings.


Roll cage...


Nismo R32 seats.


The engine bay. Nice RB26 sitting where the RB20 use to be. You can spot the Trust/Greddy Oil Filter relocation kit which leads to the Oil Cooler. Greddy intercooler pipes which lead to a BNR34 intercooler. There is also a lovely Sard 3 core aluminum radiator sitting in the front.


Some M's Sports pods.




The Border Carbon Fiber bonnet.


Ganador Super Side Mirrors.


Wise Square LED Tail Lights.








Apex'i Exhaust.




Here are two short clips of Ivan's car.
