XSXV: Nissan R34 Skyline from "Fast and Furious"
 

This car was originally a stunt car from universal studios. Was repainted black once it came to Houston TX to a private collector. And that was my old car on the left :( I miss it.

IronX, brushes, APC to clean up entire wheel, and foam rewash just for good measure. Note how ironx is kept OFF rotors (made of iron).

After 30 minutes we removed the selant and gave it a few hours to cure more. In the mean time we cleaned up the compounds and did basic detailing on the rest of the car.

Thanks for viewing! :thumbup:

From what I remember hearing that R34 isn't a real one but a R32 fitted with R34 body parts?

Any truth to this.

Its real alright. Down to the RB motor. State legal to be driven. You're mistaking some of the other stunt cars which were VW bugs with R34 panels. I dont think a R32 would have an interior like that :)

I believe that blue R34 was my buddy Craig's car. The orange supra was his as well.

Can anyone tell me the what wing that is?

APR wing.

Does your friend work for Universal Studios? I WANT ONE.

Um, pretty sure he meant R32 Skylines which also come with RB motors, not the fat AWD Golfs. I believe there are several in Canada like that. Kind of how some people convert S14s to look like R33s.

Man i believe R33's are exempt in canada now lol

Couple years already. Over-rated a bit in my completely biased opinion.

Technically all R34's are not DOT legal to be registered and driven around in the states.

State legal? In Texas?


Maybe I should pick up an R34... I always thought all the grey-market cars were being sent to the crushers...

Titled, emissions, safety inspection, insured... not sure how much legal it can get lol Cali and Florida gets all the toys :(

Not sure about the details. But definatley legally bought from Cali movie set. Dont know much more than that. Didnt meet the owner.

Well you might get it by the state registration people, but the federal government can seize it at any time because there were no R34's have ever been imported by an import company legally.
