Speaking of support, the GT-R needed backup of its own. Lieberman wasn't thrilled with this arrangement, since the forbidden-fruit GT-R was a far more enticing piece of hardware, but he ultimately had no choice. Sadly, a marketing deal between Universal and Mitsubishi meant that Brian's Evo would be the star of the film, while Lieberman's GT-R would effectively play a supporting role. Lieberman largely kept it the way MotoRex built it, until it got picked to co-star in '2 Fast 2 Furious.' Yes, co-star.
Lieberman purchased it in July of 2001 for $78,000, before Universal was fully committed to a sequel to the original 'F&F' film. Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R used in '2 Fast 2 Furious' before movie modifications
