Shine On: Turtle Wax(R) and Neil Tjin Team Up to Build the Ultimate 4-Door R34 Nissan Skyline; 1998 R34 Skyline Sedan Turning Heads Across the U.S.


CHICAGO -- In the automotive world, there is one car that stands out head and shoulders above the rest, one that everyone is dying to get their hands on, the 'holy grail' of import cars, the Nissan Skyline. Turtle Wax and Tjin Edition were able to import the only 4-door R34 Skyline Sedan into the U.S., and then 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."
