Paul Walker’s inimitable Nissan Skyline GT-R goes on sale, probably costs $1M+

Hive Auto Group is selling the 21-year-old Nissan Skyline GT-R that once belonged to late actor Paul Walker. Almost as if the V Spec II was not exclusive enough, the car underwent custom treatment by Motorex and Greddy.

It is claimed that no more than 16 such cars exist nationwide right now. The Fast and Furious movie star was not the only owner of this GT-R, but he put the most mileage on it out of the current total of 34,000 km (21,100 miles).

The RB26DETT engine continues its work under the hood, but gets improved cooling with a new radiator, part-carbon intake manifold, a stainless-steel exhaust system, and numerous other mods. Power and torque aren’t mentioned anywhere, but we know that the engine links to a six-speed manual transmission and an ATESSA AWD system.

A glance at the wheel arches reveals Tein wheels suspended on power-adjustable Tein shocks. The Brembo brakes visible behind the spokes are actually standard for the model.

The exterior of the Godzilla comes finished in Bayside Blue, the same shade as the car from the F&F franchise. Unlike the original, though, this one wears a golden livery adorned with the names of the tuning companies involved. A Momo steering wheel and four-point Sparco belts round things off on the inside.

Prices will only be disclosed to interested customers. A few years ago, the car was roughly evaluated at $1,370,000 (see video).
