Paul Walker's R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R for sale at $1,350,000
 

Paul Walker's Fast & Furious 4 R34 Nissan GT-R For Sale, Priced At $1.35 Million
BY Nelson Ireson

The car world is still recovering from Paul Walker's untimely and unfortunate death late last year, but love for the Fast & Furious franchise--and especially its modified cars--has never been stronger. As the next movie, Fast & Furious 7, moves onward, some lucky collector will get to take a look back at the R34 Nissan GT-R Walker drove in the fourth F&F film.
The only hitch? The car is priced at a cool million euros. That's right, €1,000,000, which works out to about $1,350,000.

If that sounds like a lot of money to you--even for an R34 GT-R--you're not alone. The price isn't really about the car, but about owning a slice of movie history--and about giving back, as 50% of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to Paul Walker's Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) charity.

The car itself is no slouch, however, with a strong set of modifications to make it even better than an unmolested example. Some of the ugprades include a custom roll cage, Rotora big brake kit, Momo alcantara steering wheel, a custom HUD for a dash-mount PC, OMP seats with five-point harness, upgraded suspension, wheels, exhaust, and, of course, the visual tweaks that make it a Fast & Furious car.

This marks the second (at least) Fast & Furious R34 Nissan GT-R to reach the public; the car from the second movie was offered up on Craigslist in 2012.

If you've got the dosh, or just want to imagine you do for a little while, you can find the car for sale at GT-A in Munich, Germany, though it appears the car has already changed hands behind the scenes at least once, as the car is still titled in Florida.

Wonder how much Walker got the car for

Someone hasn't been taking their meds.

sad.. but someone will pay it

I'm sure Walker's family is happy with them cashing in on Paul's death

even the famous Delorean sold for for less and ALL the proceeds went to charity...this will be on par with McQueen's 911

9 Most Expensive Movie Props Ever Sold

even though they are trying to make money off paul walkers death, im glad to see at least 50% is going to his charity...better than nothing...so this scumbag, is only a partial scumbag

damn wtf, a couple months ago it was "only" going for 850k usd

Even at 50%, it is still $675,000

That's still shitload of money for an R34 and imagine what else you can buy with that kinda money.

I wish I had a R34 GT-R in that beautiful blue color but not for over a million dollars

5 gtrs?

How much did he buy it for? Did he get one from Motorex? Because Motorex was selling skylines for 2x perhaps 3x of what it was worth in Japan.
They spent more than $1 million to legalize Skylines.

and this is how they ended their business...

Isn't the TL;DR that they claimed what they were doing was a trade secret, but in reality they didn't do shit to the cars except for sit on them for a few months?

Didn't his get stolen?

Fast and Furious 4 Nissan Skyline Stolen

Other than the Paul Walker connection, it doesn't excite me. We can import R34s all day here and mod them how we wish.

I want an R34 sedan for the fun of it.

Not a Motorex car!

Its a Kaizo car that was recently seized by ICE in the US. It was stripped of the Florida title and ordered to be exported where it was bought by this guy. There is a yellow 1999 R34 GTR which is right now for sale in the US for 60K in the same boat. If this car returned to the US it would be certainly seized and destroyed. It probably sold for peanuts at the Manheim auction and now this jackass is trying to make 1.3 million off of it.

Kaizo would disassemble the cars and then import into Florida only to rebuild them as a Kaizo GTR UBilt. Anyone who has one in the US is fucked right now as they are actively hunting them down and ordering immediate export or seizure. ICE has details of every car that they touched and who bought them, they don't care how much you paid for it or where you got it from, its a hot potato.

Motorex was a legit company back in the day, and they spent ridiculous time and money getting the R32,R33,R34 Federalized. In the end? NHTSA revoked Motorex RI status and only certain R33's now are eligible for import through a Registered Importer who will charge $24,000-$36,000 just to bring the car into compliance. NHTSA figured out that the R33 GTS test vehicle used would act differently in a crash than the R32 and R34 and that the modifications are different to bring them into compliance, I had the crash test results laying around but no idea where I put them.

Only Skylines allowed in the US at this time are the R32 GTR NISMO #001-#560 under show or display, and specific R33 models through a registered importer. There are no 1989 GTR's that are yet legal as the first ones are built in August of 1989. I know one guy got one in by claiming it was a Jan 1989 car from Canada, but I can promise you his chassis number says a different story.

I cant count the number of people I've talked to who lost cars through shady importing. Be thankful for our import laws:fullofwin:

I cant believe how US government is so concerned about GT-R safety. I'm sure it's safer than other cars like Cavalier, Neon, etc.

Its not so much GTR's, they take grey market vehicles seriously, they recently made an example out of someone illegally importing Land Rover Defenders, by crushing it and making a video from it. Theres PLENTY of shady importers in the US who think they can get around the laws, but nearly everyone of them gets caught in the end screwing a number of innocent people in the process. And unfortunately alot of Canadians who assume they can drive into the US and make 3x the money on their imports.

TBH Canada is even more strict in a sense, in the US you have an option to federalize a vehicle and bring it into FMVSS compliance.

In Canada, if the vehicle you are importing isn't intended for the US market, and not 15 years old it can't enter Canada. And if you thought about making it US compliant in the states and bringing it over, still can't.

I remember distinctly seeing a white R33 GTS-T that had been seized for sale at GC Surplus for $500.00, crushed in the end because nobody could do anything with them, just because it was 14 years old at the time.

Brainwashed CBP officer:


Makes no sense that you can import a 25 year old Defender, but a younger one is "unfit" and "unsafe"....

Gone very off track here, back to PW's R34 :concentrate:

Beauty of a R34, but stupid price.

^What a piece of shit. "Kept an unsafe car off the roads" Really?? Was it unsafe in whatever country it came from? NO.

They could have just heavily penalized the guy and forced him to re-export it. Someone could have used that vehicle, and they needlessly destroyed it.

"Trophy". Truly heartbreaking. What a bunch of douchebags.

"Kept an unsafe car off the roads"

lol. Doing a great job with keeping the shitbox rust bucket 250K odometers on the roads here, sure it wouldn't make any sense to bring a lower mileage cleaner car to replace them.

rriggi: This must be the 89 Skyline GTR that was imported to the US that you are talking about

Meet The Man Who Legally Brought The First R32 Nissan GT-R To America

Yup, that's the one, customs is now clamping down on it. Must be 25 years old by Month of Manufacture. Not worth the risk to repeat it.

$30k on R32 just to say you're the first? :ohgodwhy:
how much did R32 go for in vancouver back in 04? under $20k easy?
