In the latest episode from the folks at throtl, the legendary Nissan R34 undergoes a jaw-dropping transformation into the iconic 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline. The team spared no effort, stripping the car down to its bare bones, installing a roll cage, and sending it off to the paint shop for a complete makeover. This beast is set to make its grand debut at the prestigious SEMA show in Las Vegas, proudly showcased at the Maguire's booth. Fans are in for a treat as they can meet the entire throtl team and even snag an autograph at the event.
Back at SOS Customs, the crew gets down to business with GTR panels straight from Japan to give the car that wider, meaner GTR look. Welding, quarter panel replacements, and meticulous spot weld drilling are all part of the process as they work towards achieving the desired aesthetic. The team's attention to detail shines through as they meticulously reattach inner fender liners and align trunk and tail lights before sealing off the gas door area with a metal panel.
As the car progresses through the painting process, the excitement mounts. The crew at SOS Customs expertly applies primer, epoxy primer, and samples various paint colors to add their unique touch to the project. Creative liberties are taken with the paint scheme, injecting a fresh perspective into the classic design. From widening wheel tubs to installing Sabon fenders, every step showcases the team's dedication to perfection. The reveal of the freshly painted car is met with awe and admiration, with the front stripes elegantly fading to silver, capturing the essence of the iconic Skyline.
