Liberty Walk spotted an opportunity to pay homage to a movie legend using a different Nissan altogether. They selected a Silvia S15 as the starting point for a widebody transformation that echoes the R34 GT-R Brian O’Conner drove in 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Nissan produced the S15 generation from 1999 through 2002 at its Fukuoka plant. This two-door coupe or convertible came with rear-wheel drive and a choice of engines, including the turbocharged SR20DET that made it a favorite for modification in drifting and tuning communities.

Wide fenders now stretch from the front of this example. Similar extensions widen the rear quarters. Sharp side skirts hug the lower body line. A substantial apron attaches below the front bumper. An aggressive hood covers the engine bay. A towering wing rises from the trunk lid. An oversized diffuser anchors the rear end. These Liberty Walk components dramatically alter the car’s stance and presence.
Silver covers the entire exterior, as tacing stripes stretch nose to tail. Sponsor logos and decals fill additional space across the panels. The color scheme and graphics take direct inspiration from the silver R34 that appeared on screen with Paul Walker behind the wheel. This particular build heads into competition rather than a life of static display. Plans call for a drift car debut in Australia during September. Crew members expect to run it hard once it arrives, putting the widebody setup through real-world abuse on track.
Coverage of the project leaves mechanical details open. No specific engine output or chassis upgrades receive mention in available reports. The S15 platform supports everything from mild SR20 builds to major powerplant swaps, so enthusiasts can only guess at the performance potential until more information surfaces.
