Fast & Furious Skyline stolen from Hollywood garage

It took two years to build it in reality, 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 the latest Fast & Furious movie 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.

all i can do is laugh :P

 

The GTR is illegal in America isn't it? hence why they used a tarted up GTS...

[Guest RB26DETT]

[Immelmann]

That's balls. Even if it was fake, still.

[Shy Guy]

Damn that has got to suck... :(

Whats the point in crying over a Skyline "GTR". It's the Studebaker that should have got all the attention.

[Baltoman]

Can't really say i feel sorry for them, but then again, it was the original from the film, so only a replica could be made for a future film if they used it :/

why is it illegal?

This was answered in Reapers R34 thread the other day, it's to do with American emissions laws.

It should still be allowed.
