The popularity of the films the Fast and the Furious depended to a large degree on the tuners and modified car owners in the US. Of course, the downside to having your precious car shown in Hollywood is that it becomes a prime target for thieves, which was what happened to the R34 GT-R copy that was stolen from a warehouse just recently.
The car, which cost $75,000, was used by Paul Walking for his first race scene for the latest movie and the car belongs to Chris Milano, a professional driver, who spent two years transforming the GT-S into a real GT-R. The car was not insured by Universal Pictures because it was just used as a promotional car after the film. It is a fact that the R34 GT-R is not the first vehicle, which played a role in the Fast and Furious movie, which has been stolen. There were times when cars were stolen right off from the studio lot itself. With the Fast and Furious 5 coming up, this sure won’t be the last car to be stolen.
