After the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, driven by Paul Walker in the “Fast and Furious” film franchise, was offered for sale last year, another example of this car will soon be up for auction. This 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R was also driven by the former actor, and the sale was announced by auction house Bonhams.

The car is painted in the legendary Bayside Blue, and Walker personally chose it for the fourth part of the popular franchise. Fans will remember how this car raced through the streets of Los Angeles with the BMW M5 (E39) and Nissan Silvia.

Walker was a big fan of this model, so he played a big role in the development and modification of this car, even down to the smallest details. JDM was imported from Japan, and Kaizo Industries prepared the RB26DETT engine. A Turbonetics intercooler, Nismo NE-1 exhaust system, custom roll cage, as well as ARC titanium struts, Nismo springs and Retora brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers are installed. This allowed the 2.6-liter twin-turbo engine to produce 500 hp (368 kW). As a reminder, the factory model has 276 hp (206 kW). Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission with rear differential and limited traction. It is mounted on 19-inch Volk Racing RE30 wheels.

Inside, the standard steering wheel has been replaced by a Momo steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara. The rear seats have been removed to reduce weight, and up front there are two OMP racing seats with five-point seat belts. There is also a Sony sound system, head-up display and MFD Xenarc Display unit.

Walker paid attention to detail and refused to use any decals in order to maintain a “clean look”. The car was seized by US customs due to the fact that it was never actually officially sold in the US. In 2012, it was returned to Japan, and then transported to Germany.

The car’s history is unknown from the time it was in Japan. However, it is currently in excellent condition. The auction will be held 28 April – 5 May 2023.
