Turtle Wax was able to import the only 4-door R34 Skyline Sedan into the U.S., and they handed it over to Neil Tjin and his talented crew for a major overhauling. When Tjin and his crew were finally done with the project, the only thing that remained stock on the Skyline was the roof and the front doors.
“The 4-door Nissan R34 Skyline is a rare car and we knew Neil Tjin was the right guy to make it into a classic,” said Matt Broderick, Vice President of Marketing for Turtle Wax. “We are looking forward to seeing what Neil and his team comes up with. Turtle Wax has a deep heritage and clear vision for the future of car care products, so restoring a classic like this is a perfect match for connecting with car lovers everywhere.”
The completely rebuilt two-tone BASF green Tjin Edition 1998 R34 Skyline sedan is equipped with everything from a RB26DET ‘Godzilla’ motor to a custom fabricated air jack set-up, which is incorporated into a one of a kind unique fabrication roll-cage, normally found in F1 race cars. The custom two-tone light green and dark green paint job was done by the crew over at MOB Works in Orange, CA. The Skyline rolls around on a custom set of massive 20×11.5″ and 20×13.5″ 540 HRE Wheels with astonishing 4″ and 5.5″ polished lips, dark green centers, and gold bolts. The 540 HRE Wheels are matched up to a set of enormous 285/25/20 and 345/25/20 Pirelli tires.
The fully gutted, stripped and painted interior features a customized dash board, aluminum door panels, center console, Status Kevlar racing seats, DEFI gauges, and a Unique Fabrication chromoly 12 point roll cage, which was painted candy gold. The exterior of the Tjin Edition R34 sedan has been modified with a custom 12 piece wide body kit from URAS Japan. This rare piece of machinery will most definitely be turning the heads of many jealous and top tuners during this year’s nationwide Get Waxed Tour.
“The Get Waxed Tour will provide the perfect venues for us to showcase this truly unique and one of a kind R34 Skyline that our team has created,” Tjin said. “Our Turtle Wax products will help keep this beauty looking good at all times.”
The one-of-a-kind 1998 R34 Skyline sedan will be the featured piece in the “Get Waxed Tour” as it travels to all the top automotive and lifestyles events across the U.S. “I’m excited for the tour because we have a car that no one else is going to have,” said Tjin. “When you show up with a Skyline, people are going to take notice.” This year’s tour will hit up a larger targeted audience, as Turtle Wax makes its way to a broader range of shows, including stops at Hot Import Nights, Night Shift, Import Showoff Little Tokyo, D1, Formula D and SEMA.
