@@lightconstruct I would definitely change that rear wing to a chassis mounted one and maybe put in more effective turbos. Other than that I'd leave it as is
The way Larry talks about Paul and his cars I really can relate to it especially Larry’s story about seeing the first fast film really changed my life forever it’s kinda crazy
Yes that was Paul’s car. Kinda bitter sweet watching last time I seen this was in person. Hard to believe it’s been years since his passing. R.I.P brother. 😢
I know at this point i'm just trash talking, but is kinda sad that the guy talking never said the most important thing about the car, Paul only owned it Stock and the guy from Hawaii that bought it is who made it look like that, Paul never modified the car...
Should get punched for doing it even tho he bought and changed it he could had went and bought another one why that one if u gonna change a car that was owned bye the MAN the one and only paul walker deserves a kick to the face and a million of other's can agree that is a one of a kind and should stay as it was as paul owned it i mean cmon it's a fuckin unicorn
Sorry that Brian and Larry didn't mention that. They were not as much aware of the history as myself. The car was made as a replica of Blackbird. This car was sold to the 2nd buyer, very soon after the first movie came out. You have to understand in the time, just another R34. This is well before Blackbird was used as the hero for the 2nd movie. Timing is hard to see from 20 years later.
Thank you for posting this video. Cars like this were my life, from 1994 to 1999 when I lived in Japan. NSXs, Supras, FDs, GT-Rs, I saw them all in the wild, every time I opened my front door. That is when I saw my first Soarer. I only had a bicycle then, but I wanted a Soarer soooooo bad! Hahaha. Now, I have one, and a mint condition EF Civic, because you know...we gotta keep that Gran Turismo dream alive, right? Okay, for others, it's a dream...but for me, it was my youth.
Not a second about the NSX next to the R34, it looked really nice! Great video tho! - very nice with a lot of history. I hope they sell it to someone worthy.
I remember seeing the first ff at a drive in movie theater when I was around 12 and after that I became addict to car culture. Still love that eclipse from the first movie 😅
You can't be that blown away by the active aero on the GTO and the Supra after seeing it on the R31 at Hoonigan Larry lol. That blew everybody's mind :P
Saw this car in person back in March (early pandemic times) and it was a true gem. TopRank has quality JDM cars for sure. Bought my Evo II GSR that same weekend from them.
My buddy’s worked on Paul Walker’s White R34, funny story on that GTR they ordered a Tomei built engine for it and the engine came with a numbered plate for the engine from Tomei but Paul Walker liked a specific number (I believe it was 47) and they had a new number plate for the engine provided from Tomei with the number Paul Walker wanted on it. Lots of incredible parts went onto that car.
I’ll admit that for the longest time I wouldn’t have said that I was big into cars but when I saw F&F1 that started my fascination for JDM cars as well as cars in general. One day I dream of having a 99 R34 regardless of how cliche it may or may not sound. Still hard to believe that Paul is no longer here but his mark on the car community and entertainment community still lives on.
Is it me or did jus hearing about the story put a big smile on your face the whole time. Knowing he got maybe u and a lot others into the car community. Like shi I almost cried bc he was a huge Impact on me and everything I love about cars. Hes the reason y I'm in love with JDM cars. Knowing the legend they got me into the beautiful community has passed away and seeing his first r34 gtr in a video like this is really sad that he left us so early on. R.I.P. the Legend Paul Walker🙏😢
I lived down the street in Santa Barbara and use to see him cruising around in a jacked up Ford with some surfboards. His bother would party off La Marina and Cliff dr. Super chill guy and RIP Paul 🙏🏼
To that conversation of the movie GTR and what not, I believe Craig Lieberman stated that all of them were GTRs (2 Fast 2 Furious). The Hero 1 car was Craig's but repainted for the movie and copies were made of it for the subsequent stunt cars. And then it got repainted again (Hero 1) when it was returned to him. The comment of the GTS-Ts here I'm pretty sure is pertaining to the reboot of the series after Tokyo Drift, were Paul was driving a Bayside Bluish GTR which definitely were mostly converted GTS-Ts
What an incredible opportunity to drive such a monumental car owned by the late Paul Walker. Back in 2001 Garage SPL in Seattle used to help tune my 2002 WRX. Garage SPL owned a Bayside Blue R34 GTR, a Silver R33 GTR and a white R32 GTR. That is where I personally fell in love with these cars long before 2 Fast 2 Furious came out. I remember going for ride alongs in the GTRs back then and racing against Mike, Alex and Jack's GTR's on track days. Yeah the nostalgia is real for all of us with these amazing cars. Such an incredible story and piece Japanese motorsport history.🙏
To Paul Walker where ever you are thank you for helping me become a car guy. I’ve met so many good people because of the car community and thank you for being a part of my childhood
I am older than most the kids who look up to Paul as a Fast N furious guy, I remember him as the dude in Varsity Blues ! I am surprised people hate this kit, I have always liked it.
I can remember in "99, going to art school in seattle and seeing a 33 or 32 parked by my school for a few months and never seeing it again. Since then, I have always loved them
I don't comment on anything but I feel I have 2 here. It's so much emotion and influence I am such a huge car man every since I was 8. I'm 30. Fast and furious was my favorite movie I play almost every racing game from Ps 1 to ps4. I truly enjoy seeing Paul walkers heritage. Thank you so much fighting tears he was my role model. Just like Steve Irwin. Seriously thank u and respect bro 4 your connections. 1 word amazing.
@@miragespl Cressida was for the US and other countries, closest version in Japan was the Mark II. And the gangs/Yakuza favoured black Mercedes models, especially W140's , not Japanese cars.
@@theholty Oh, so the Cres is just a rebadged Mark II with some trim/engine differences. Also, bosozokus used the domestic cars back in the 70's/80's. Gangs don't necessarily equate to just the Yakuza. You can see them in those old school videos here on TH-cam and are also featured in a number of mangas like BADBOYS, Shakotan Boogie, etc.
XprettylightsX They are auto importers Motorex was shut down due to legal issues while importing Skylines without meeting regulations, And Toprank is an importer thats still in business today, correct me if I’m wrong anyone.
S I M P L E M A N The issue with motorex was Hiro and not the legality itself. Hiro spent more money than he had and got in over his head. Sean and the other people who handled compliance work got fed up with him and left MotoRex from 02’-04’, cars weren’t being converted or delivered to customers properly and he panicked, sending cars to customers with little to no work done so no one would complain to the NHTSA, that’s what happened. Also he assaulted a guy with a stun gun and did jail time
Came for the title. Feel in love when they showed my most favorite car in the world second to the VR4 Spyder the VR4 94 preferably with the headlights redesign.
Top rank is where they filmed this, and the guy giving this tour, is honestly the nicest guy ever. My buddy had just bought a s14 , so we were feeling the jdm vibes lol. But we drove to top rank in cypress, and the guy gave us a tour!! And he let me sit in the white r34 that was on the lift, it wasn’t at the time. But if u go there, they will take you on a tour! Such cool guys!
I remember seeing a grey R34 driving on a highway in Sarasota, FL in 2011... I was FREAKING OUT, and BEGGING my ex's dad to get next to him...omg what a freaking spot for me, I think the coolest one in my whole life.
People don't like the body kit because it's not super crazy hot boy. As a 27 yer old who grew up watching F&F this car is literally perfect. The body kit doesn't look obnoxious and has just the right amount of flare. Fits the car perfectly imo
You guys are very lucky and blessed to be able to do this. It was so cool seeing these cars and figuring out about Nissan's in the late 90's and early 2000's i fell in love and probably not going anywhere anytime soon. The kit is pretty nice they did a wonderful job doing it to me not my taste but Yessss it does scream early 2000's tuner scene. My favorite kit is the Nismo Z tune idk just doesn't matter in the end i love everyone's take and builds they are so cool seeing the individual style of everyone 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
topdokx pretty much the whole second part of the video where they talk about how he got it from MOTOREX etc? Just watch the whole thing, everything you need to know is in there 🤷🏻♂️
There's a special place in hell for the previous owner of my car, they took off the active aero to do a Veilside front bumper, it still had the side mount intercooler and everything when I got it. The active aero button was always flashing at me until I unplugged it 🤣
So, no GTT Skyline in the second movie (with the Cwest bodykit) only in the forth movie (with Nismo bodykit). And the Black GT-R that Paul drive in the vídeo you talked about, is actually the Hero 1 car for the exact second movie. Look at Craig Lieberman chanel
I’ve been taking getting into cars seriously now I’ve been into cars since NFS pro street but now since I’m older it’s such a unique art and hobbie to be into such a masterpiece shown on this video. One day I hope that I get to restore my dads 94” accord and to see the day that I drive it for the first time would be a dream and ESPECIALLY to hear that bov would make me truly happy to hear. Appreciate everyone here and in the video such a unique car as well ^^
You could probably take a picture of a car that perfectly Beautiful with a obama phone and it still be just Perfect. Only larry can do it the justice it deserves. R.I.P paul walker a true blue car guy that spared NO EXPENSE to make it what it is. #TopNotch
who is saying the PW GTR's body kit is old, they seriously dont know anything about the JDM cars of the sub 2000s era. This bodykit is timeless...its period correct as you say, and it should remain as is...i would even keep the suspension just to show to the modern world how things have change since now and then!
So what that Paul walker owned it,it's so far from the car how he owned it, when Paul had it it was totally bone stock,the 2nd owner did all the modifications,body kit also,so it's hardly paul walker's car....only saying paul walker so to add value 😭👎😂
My favorite thing about this car and the culture is living and hanging around in AZ. I had already learned allot about Nissan and there racing heritage. Watching this sort of thing was unheard of. We had to read mag's and thats what i did learning about Craig and moto rex and what they where doing was insane. Now unfortunately its gonna be super hard to get my hands on a R34 now but still pretty cool seeing this and other cars being built. Nissan for life 👌🤘🤙
You can see in the customization of the front end grill/difusor that it was intended when someone walked around it, that there would always be a good angle and look to it. This was done by making a lot of cut outs and splitter work. This is the thought process of it, moving forward from a regular r34 front end.
Thanx for shareing all this great info.I love Paul Walker ever since FF1..rest in piece PaulWalker we love you and miss you greatly. His good vibes his spirit lives on within us. Thanx guys for this video.
It's truly crazy to me that they actually take the car out and drive it! R34 One of my all time favorite cars! I would be torn to have Paul's R34, I want to drive all of my cars! but damn it would be sweet!
The bit about skyline stock wheels being rare probably has a bit to do with Australia and NZ. They (the enkeis mind, the BBS's were always rare) used to be cheap and they're light and look great of fc's and silvias and such that there heaps of here. lots of owners in Japan would swap their skyline wheels for aftermarket and our guys would snap them up for a few hundred bucks.
Now you are talking my language Chen! R12 was banned so many years ago I can't remember exactly. R134A replaced it, but was never as good. Now I've seen R1234A and something like 604?? can't remember for sure. The 604 or whatever it is, is highly flammable and takes special equipment to service it.

Same fast and furious and nfs got me into cars
@@CrotchRocketeer same bro
Darth Yoder Gran Turismo 2 and NFS UG1 is what got me DEEP into GTRs
Same for me Paul walker is how I got into loving the skyline
The R32 group A early 90’s racing started my skyline love .. they were already madly popular before F and F in the rear of the world
I actually love the body kit on Paul’s car. It’s less style and more nostalgia for me
Still nostalgia
C-west
Exactly along side of you guys we will never forget this car and body kit cause this iconic beast is what started it all.
This is clean and elegant. Sorry, im not that rich or "educated" to brag about modern style. This car looks DOPE. I wouldnt change it.
@@lightconstruct I would definitely change that rear wing to a chassis mounted one and maybe put in more effective turbos. Other than that I'd leave it as is
That car even with the C-West kit is extremely cool. It would still have everyones eyes at any show

Ismael conde Sunline Racing used C-West parts for their cars
@@sleinzer2302 I didn't knew that, thanks for the clarification!

MeatyPotato Cactus walker didn’t put the kit on this. Owner after him did.
Aren't Motorex also imports an R34 with the C-West N1 already on one?
The popularity of the N1 might be because of Japanese Super Endurance racing?

I remember seeing a grey R34 driving on a highway in Sarasota, FL in 2011... I was FREAKING OUT, and BEGGING my ex's dad to get next to him...omg what a freaking spot for me, I think the coolest one in my whole life.
Garage Defend still exists. Also, Fast and Furious came out in 2001, not 99.
Spectre is very much still around and still growing.
The fb page is way more active than YT . Everyone ticks to their S Chassis
People don't like the body kit because it's not super crazy hot boy. As a 27 yer old who grew up watching F&F this car is literally perfect. The body kit doesn't look obnoxious and has just the right amount of flare. Fits the car perfectly imo
Nothing more breathtaking than a garage full of super clean Japanese domestic cars with lots of history. Thanks for sharing their garage!

*It's called a "Toyota Century"*
Thank you! Is was like that's not a crown. Lol
@@rhaymarkJZX 🤣🤣
Me: gets notification // it says the video is almost 1 hour
Me: Oh this is gonna be a good hour
You guys are very lucky and blessed to be able to do this. It was so cool seeing these cars and figuring out about Nissan's in the late 90's and early 2000's i fell in love and probably not going anywhere anytime soon. The kit is pretty nice they did a wonderful job doing it to me not my taste but Yessss it does scream early 2000's tuner scene. My favorite kit is the Nismo Z tune idk just doesn't matter in the end i love everyone's take and builds they are so cool seeing the individual style of everyone 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I honestly forgot about Paul's skyline. I became lost in a sea of jdm glory.
That's not Paul's R34 this is a replica not the actual one he drove in
@@topdokx did you even watch the video? This is the actual car he owned in his personal life, not the movie prop cars...
@@theholty which part of the vid
topdokx pretty much the whole second part of the video where they talk about how he got it from MOTOREX etc? Just watch the whole thing, everything you need to know is in there 🤷🏻♂️
There's a special place in hell for the previous owner of my car, they took off the active aero to do a Veilside front bumper, it still had the side mount intercooler and everything when I got it. The active aero button was always flashing at me until I unplugged it 🤣
😭😭😭😭
Ayyye my guy, that's a Century, not a crown lol
I want a Century! XD
Thanks Larry for who you are and what you do! RIP Paul Walker! You are immortalized through your passions of cars and screen play!
I might have to contact top rank to find me a 99 beams MR2 when the time comes... To keep my Supercharged MK1 company.
Get one lined out asap. The market is getting stupid. Im glad I already have one, won't be able to afford it in 10 years.
Tristen Ludewick Exactly.
WOW THANKS FOR SHARING THIS ART! WE MISS PAUL 🙏🏾
They haul around the emperor in a crown limousine.
*century
The Amount of people driving and starring at the R34 when larry is driving around is crazy , it gets soo much attention such a great car ,..
RIP Paul Walker you are the reason I love cars today 🚗 🚘
I still remember driving next to an R34 in High school in 2006. I was in aww then, but had no idea how rare it was to see one on the road in the US
Paul Didn't Die, He's just waiting at the finish line
So, no GTT Skyline in the second movie (with the Cwest bodykit) only in the forth movie (with Nismo bodykit). And the Black GT-R that Paul drive in the vídeo you talked about, is actually the Hero 1 car for the exact second movie. Look at Craig Lieberman chanel
What do people do with a pair of Suzuki Cappuccinos .___.
Throtle guys purchased it
Thank you Paul and Hoonigan focus for driving down memory lane 😭😎 we miss you paul.
“USDM Prius” 😂
I’ve been taking getting into cars seriously now I’ve been into cars since NFS pro street but now since I’m older it’s such a unique art and hobbie to be into such a masterpiece shown on this video. One day I hope that I get to restore my dads 94” accord and to see the day that I drive it for the first time would be a dream and ESPECIALLY to hear that bov would make me truly happy to hear. Appreciate everyone here and in the video such a unique car as well ^^
The "second wave" jdm craze is like the baby boomer hot rod movement of our generation.
For real.
90's kids unite.
@@coldmoonlight6361 Americas 90s kids it seems are funking rolling in it $$. Pushing up prices like crazy.
@@colincharan-kumpula6424 damn right 😪
I've taken a photo of the Empress of Japan in a Century back in 2002 when I was in Tokyo. So cool.
So does he still drive it?
Bruh
The top rank staff still drive it yeah
41:30 just like time machine that transports back to 2003 when we all heard the 2F2F R34 going to that first scene race!!!
20:26
Man This Guy Paul has his hands on his Friends crotch 😂 😂
Would have gotten mee tood!!
I drove an Exige like that. Great car. Easy to handle, will take corners any way you want and it will do it quickly with style.
You could probably take a picture of a car that perfectly Beautiful with a obama phone and it still be just Perfect. Only larry can do it the justice it deserves. R.I.P paul walker a true blue car guy that spared NO EXPENSE to make it what it is. #TopNotch
who is saying the PW GTR's body kit is old, they seriously dont know anything about the JDM cars of the sub 2000s era.
This bodykit is timeless...its period correct as you say, and it should remain as is...i would even keep the suspension just to show to the modern world how things have change since now and then!
C West
He's so awkward and the indoor glasses are killing me.....
just a normal dude ;p
he is not really awkward, i don't see what you are talking about
Clicked for the Paul Walker's GTR.
Bombarded with some awesome mouth watering bonus cars.
So what that Paul walker owned it,it's so far from the car how he owned it, when Paul had it it was totally bone stock,the 2nd owner did all the modifications,body kit also,so it's hardly paul walker's car....only saying paul walker so to add value 😭👎😂
that lotus my favorite car! but the GTO got me into imports at a young age.
I've always wanted the Pulsar GTI-R at 2:05 as a daily. It's like a pocket rocket
Sorry man, can’t watch the whole thing when you put 10 ads in it❗️
adblocker is your friend!
My favorite thing about this car and the culture is living and hanging around in AZ. I had already learned allot about Nissan and there racing heritage. Watching this sort of thing was unheard of. We had to read mag's and thats what i did learning about Craig and moto rex and what they where doing was insane. Now unfortunately its gonna be super hard to get my hands on a R34 now but still pretty cool seeing this and other cars being built. Nissan for life 👌🤘🤙
Larry calling Nisan to do a Cima build for SEMA! Freaking awesome. Now that is what I call having some fun!
I just realized the massive improvement on your camera's stabilization Larry...THANK YOU so much!
You can see in the customization of the front end grill/difusor that it was intended when someone walked around it, that there would always be a good angle and look to it. This was done by making a lot of cut outs and splitter work. This is the thought process of it, moving forward from a regular r34 front end.
Ahh finally a GTO. I always thought the active aero on my Vr4 was the coolest thing.
Thanx for shareing all this great info.I love Paul Walker ever since FF1..rest in piece PaulWalker we love you and miss you greatly. His good vibes his spirit lives on within us. Thanx guys for this video.
It's truly crazy to me that they actually take the car out and drive it! R34 One of my all time favorite cars! I would be torn to have Paul's R34, I want to drive all of my cars! but damn it would be sweet!
The bit about skyline stock wheels being rare probably has a bit to do with Australia and NZ. They (the enkeis mind, the BBS's were always rare) used to be cheap and they're light and look great of fc's and silvias and such that there heaps of here. lots of owners in Japan would swap their skyline wheels for aftermarket and our guys would snap them up for a few hundred bucks.
Dude! Keep the active aero! There are other ways to cool the air but only one option for factory active aero!
F'n rad as always...Thank you, Mr. Chen!
This was basically what it was like up here in Canada 2004-2015 since we only have 15 year import rule. Good to see the US get's to experience it now.
Thanks for touring! =) Choolwhip stuff for sure!
Now you are talking my language Chen! R12 was banned so many years ago I can't remember exactly. R134A replaced it, but was never as good. Now I've seen R1234A and something like 604?? can't remember for sure. The 604 or whatever it is, is highly flammable and takes special equipment to service it.
