Fast & Furious GT-R Stolen !!!!

[SoYouThinkYouCanDrive]

Thieves have made off with that oh so sexy Nissan GT-R from the most recent Fast & Furious film. The car was being stored, along with several other vehicles, at a facility in Sun Valley, Los Angeles. The thieves were no doubt aware that the vehicle was inside the facility when they broke through the metal door and drove off with the car, paying no attention to the other vehicles inside. The thieves did, however, damage both a Porsche Boxster and a classic Studebaker in the process.

While looking like every SpoCom fan’s wet dream, the blue R34 GT-R is actually a GT-S model that was transformed by pro driver Chris Milano over two years. Fast & Furious lead Paul Walker drove the car in the movie.

The car is estimated to be worth roughly $75,000 (” More than you can afford pal”), however, it was not insured as it was only being used for promotional purposes.

There is no word on if the police have any leads on who stole the car, but we think they should check the garage of Nicolas Cage, Mr. Gone in 60 Seconds himself. Either that, or it’s currently being chopped up and sold to other Skyline owners as “overnight parts from Japan.”

what is this crap? they didnt even sponsor any GTR to FnF4 since the movie was being filmed before official release of the GTR. you are refering to r5? because if it's the r34, they had like 8 of it for the film. and they crashed 7 imprezzas. paul walker can pick his nose and buy the car with his boogie.

FYI, the Nissan GT-R in Fast and Furious 4 is not a real Nissan.


The famed Japanese tuner machine Nissan Skyline GT-R (nicknamed 'Godzilla') makes a return in "Fast & Furious 4". Driven by Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor, this car is actually a kit car built by Kaizo Industries. As it is difficult to make Skylines street-legal in the United States, Universal Studios approached Kaizo to have a street-legal version of this Japanese monster that actually came in a rolling-shell form (read: without engine or gearbox) with the engine and gearbox was assembled in the U.S, just to comply with some U.S law and regulations.
