Paul Walker's personal collection of famous cars, as well as the sports cars he played in the Fast and Furious film series Brian O'Connor, have become the focus of discussion, the most dazzling of which is his favorite Nissan R34 GT-R. The blue Nissan R34 GT-R, which was driven in Fast & Furious 4, has been sold for $1.35 million, or about 8.7 million yuan at current exchange rates, and is currently in Germany.
The fifth generation of skyline GT-R (R34), Nissan launched a new generation of Skyline GT-R, or R34 Skyline series, in 1999, the second year after the fourth generation of Skyline GT-R was discontinued. In terms of appearance, the fifth-generation Skyline GT-R is arguably the most powerful car in its history. The large intake, opened like a beast with a large mouth open, was much more fierce than the previous generation. Production ceased in 1999 and discontinued in 2002, with a total of 72,629 units.
In the front windshield of the car, there is a photo of Paul Walker and the car, which also has a signature on it, which also explains the identity of the car. It was worth $1.35 million at the time, and now it must have appreciated, and at this price it was a modified R34 GTR with a roll cage, Rotora brake system, MOMO competitive steering wheel, OMP safety, etc. and racing seats. The suspension, wheels, and exhaust of the whole car were also replaced, and the appearance was used to introduce the Nisso Nissan Skyline GT-R Z-Tune sports kit of 19 units in 2004.
The fifth-generation Skyline GT-R instrument cluster has a simple design, still with a white bottom design, providing only basic water temperature, engine speed, oil temperature, speed, and oil volume. At the top of the center console, the original car has a 5.8-inch display, which can display 7 real-time vehicle information parameters including turbo value, oil temperature, water temperature and so on. However, the car has modified the screen to be two screens.
The fifth-generation Skyline GT-R continued to use the 2.6L displacement inline six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, which was retuned to achieve an actual maximum power of 332 hp and 392 Nm, respectively, but was only marked with 280 hp due to regulations at the time. The engine-matching transmission has also been upgraded from the previous generation's 5-speed manual to a 6-speed manual transmission.
The fifth generation of skyline GT-R has a good reputation, mainly because of the re-creation of the performance-oriented chassis, optimized suspension and four-wheel steering, which has its strong handling performance, so it was popular as soon as it was launched. The fifth-generation Skyline GT-R has a number of enhanced models, and the number is the highest ever, with multiple versions such as V-spec, V-spec II, M-Spec, M-Spec Nür, V-Spec II Nür, etc.
The advent of the Nissan R34 GT-R has a chance for fans and fans to get in touch, but the price is prohibitive, and perhaps only a very small number of avid car collectors will buy it, $1.35 million, a 1999 Nissan R34 GTR, which is astronomical.
