After our post on Friday about our latest acquisition, the 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R driven by Paul Walker, which reached over 7 million views, we wanted to share a few detail shots from the moment we verified the car on site together with @craiglieberman_42 . A quick clarification about the car’s history. The car was never stolen or hidden. After filming, it briefly went to the Volo Museum in the United States before being sold to its last private owner around 2008. The owner eventually kept the car in his living room, simply because he enjoyed having it there. Before the Skyline was placed in the living room on the second floor of his home, it had rarely been driven. It only appeared at one or two local car shows, and because the owner was not active on social media, the car remained unseen for many years. Over time, many collectors believed it had been lost. Through our network and extensive research, we eventually located both the car and the owner. After nearly 3 years of negotiations, we were finally able to acquire it. For clarity, six vehicles were used during the filming of 2 Fast 2 Furious, all listed as “Brian’s Nissan Skyline.” Five were real R34 GT-Rs (not GT-Ts), and one was a Nissan 240SX used as a mic-rig car. Our car is listed as #40 in Universal’s vehicle records and labeled as the #1 Principal Hero Car (This is important). It is the car seen in the film when Paul Walker accidentally crashes into the parking meter, which caused only minor damage. The same car was also used in the short film Turbo-Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious. This example is likely the last and only surviving Skyline from the film that remains in completely original condition today. Craig’s former car, “Black Bird,” appears as #37 in the records and was also one of the main Hero Cars. There was also a #2 Principal Hero Car, which we believe may still be at Universal Studios. In total, the cars used were: 3 Hero Cars 1 Stunt Car 1 Jump Car 1 Nissan 240SX Mic-Rig Car Massive shoutout to @craiglieberman_42 and @kriss_dsm . This deal likely would not have come together nearly as smoothly without them. Stay tuned and follow for more info soon!

Not a replica, but the original screen-used Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R from 2 Fast 2 Furious. Located, recovered, and brought back into the spotlight by our team. And not, as many might assume, somewhere in the United States. Instead, the car had been quietly residing in Europe, where a gentleman, now of advanced age, kept the legendary machine hidden away for nearly 18 years. The Skyline was displayed almost like a sacred artifact, preserved in the living room on the second floor of his house, far removed from the spotlight it once commanded. Paul Walker’s Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R from the second installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise stands as far more than just a movie car. It is widely regarded as one of the most beloved vehicles of the entire series and has since become one of the most iconic automobiles of the past several decades, shaping the automotive dreams of an entire generation. After years of searching, meticulous research, and intense negotiations, we are immensely proud to finally welcome this extraordinary piece of cinematic and automotive history into our collection.
