Hey all,
Yep, she's a much darker midnight purple then yours Skyln - in fact yours is very much a purple colour. It seems there are a number of different variations of the midnight purple colour, Googled it and there's a lot of variety.
Mine isn't the factory mnp - it seems that Nissan released 3 different variations of mnp over the years. Mine is the previous owners interpretation of mnp, which as you can see is closer to a blue colour then yours skylin! But when you see here up close, you can tell that's there's purple in the paint scheme. Im getting her fully re-sprayed and the alloys professionally done to black in the next month and will upload a lot more pics then. Right now, there's a few minor, but to my eye annoying imperfections in the paint that Im looking forward to getting sorted out.
You mention Jim's place out here in the Alice Skylin - where is that?? Im doing the run out to Glen Helen on my next lot of days off which will be a lot of fun. The old mnp R33 you posted - did you have that in the Alice?? What was the reason for selling her?
Also, Im hoping to get a full manual conversion done on the car - Ive got a mechanic who can do the job, just need to find a conversion kit. Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction???? Not having much luck sourcing one
Cheers all!
