  • This is the most expensive R34 sold at auction. The Hero car, was built to look like GTR- but it was a GTT. The car was in a museum in Germany for years, and now, it's in a private collection, hidden from the public's eyes.

    Craig I remember those air fresheners. I had them in my Celica in the early 2000s. Of all places I was able to find them for short time at a Chevrolet Dealership around 2018 before disappearing in oblivion. I so miss this days of climbing in the Celica GT and smelling the air freshener and thumbing thru Super Street or Import Tuner. 😊

      In 2008, I read a Wikipedia article on what was supposed to be Fast 4 and someone had actually gotten a pre-production draft of the script for the movie and published it on that Wikipedia article. It said that at the end of F&F, right before Dom escaped to Mexico, he linked up with a friend of his that had a shop somewhere in SoCal and traded the Supra for the Chevelle and then headed for the border and into Mexico. The portion of the Wikipedia article has long been deleted but that's been the only bit of info on what happened to the Supra.

    Excellent video! I'm one of those people who's always curious about what happens to the car after the fact, especially so many years later! I have a suggestion for a future video. A lot of people make fun of the graphics on the cars from the Fast and Furious movies, so I was wondering if you could do a video where you show what graphics and decals were actually acceptable or highly desirable on JDM Cars and the tuner scene in the late 90s and early 2000s? Thanks!

I love it! ^^ Always a fan of the 1st, AND that era of movies in general. I also (because of cars) loved most of the 2nd, except the 2nd movie already had me tired of stunts, which made me wish Tokyo Drift had less crash stunts. Other than my bias, really not much wrong with it. Hulkmobile, yikes. I could digress all day. Ultimately, I love all memories of the 1st movie (and that car show era) religiously. AND I like Initial D (because of FF1). I used to play that arcade in the early 00s, all the time with my friends.

    Hey Craig, what do you know about the black R34 now owned by Chrome Cars? It was on display a few months ago at the Brussels Autoshow. They said it’s an original GT-R used in FnF4. They’re going to restore it back to movie condition. I have a few pictures of it if you want to see them.

      I bet Craig knows way more about that specific unit, and he already has a handful of pictures.
