It took two years to build it, ten seconds of montage to put it together on screen, and about ten minutes to steal it. In a rare automotive example of life imitating art imitating life, the Nissan Skyline that Paul Walker drove in Fast & Furious 4 was stolen from its storage facility in Los Angeles.
Although dressed up to look like a full-on R34 GT-R for the movie, the car underneath was actually a lower-spec GT-S. Reports indicate that thieves, evidently knowing the car was inside, broke through a metal door and ripped off that specific car, leaving the rest but sideswiping a Studebaker and a Porsche Boxster on the way out. And to make matters worse, the car, valued at around $75,000, wasn’t even insured. Considering the movie grossed $72.5 million in opening-weekend box office sales alone, we doubt the seventy-five grand will be terribly missed.

should put it back in tokyo for defo if you wont it to become a hit
they should make it about the car scene again as they did in 1 and 3. Films 2 and 4 were too centred on the drug dealing plot lines.
The movies were a hit due to the cars in the original film, the scene etc.
I still dont understand why brian opted for the R34 when there was the new R35 on show before it. I understand the modifiers icon is the R34 GTR as i have owned one butwould still have chosen the 35. we may see it in the new 5th movie?
