The LEGO Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) turns one of the most recognizable cars from the Fast & Furious movie franchise into a compact, display-ready model that kids and car fans alike can build in well under an hour. Set 76917 packs 319 pieces into a scaled-down replica of Brian O'Conner's R34, complete with the signature striped livery, rear wing, aggressive front grille, and a Brian O'Conner minifigure to drop behind the wheel. It follows the Speed Champions line's usual formula of a quick, satisfying build paired with shelf-worthy detail, which is why it shows up as often on adult LEGO and car-movie memorabilia shelves as it does in kids' toy bins.

About LEGO Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34), Race Car Toy Model Building Kit, Collectible with Racer Minifigure, 2023 Set for Kids, Boys and Girls Ages 9 and Up 76917
LEGO Speed Champions is LEGO's line of small-scale, quick-build car models, designed to let fans display a recognizable real-world or on-screen car on a shelf or desk without committing to the size or price of a full Technic build. The line has grown into a genuine collector category among adult LEGO fans, many of whom buy multiple sets specifically to line up side by side.
This particular set ties into 2 Fast 2 Furious, the second film in the Fast & Furious franchise, which helped cement the modified Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 as one of the most iconic cars in JDM and car-movie culture. Because the film itself skews older than a typical kids' movie, a meaningful share of this set's real buyers are teens and adults who grew up on the franchise or collect JDM-themed LEGO, not just young kids picking a toy off a shelf.
This specific model includes 319 pieces, the single Brian O'Conner minifigure, and the movie car's signature stripes, wing, and grille. It's a solid fit for a 9-year-old, LEGO's own stated minimum, who's into cars or building, and just as good a fit as a small, well-detailed collectible for a Fast & Furious fan, JDM enthusiast, or Speed Champions collector of any age who wants the R34 without hunting down an actual die-cast or model car.

The Honest Take
What We Like and What We Don't
What we like
- Genuinely well-reviewed: 4.8 out of 5 stars across a large ratings base, among the stronger showings in the whole Speed Champions line
- Fast, low-frustration build; reviewers report both a 10-year-old and adult LEGO fans finishing it in under an hour
- Captures the real R34's silhouette and livery well enough that dedicated car fans and LEGO enthusiasts alike approve of the accuracy
- A frequently-cited successful gift specifically for the 9-and-up bracket, including birthday and holiday gifting for grandkids
- Small footprint makes it easy to display next to other Speed Champions models without needing much shelf space
What holds it back
- A real, recurring minority of buyers report missing pieces in the box, so it's worth double-checking the bag count against the instructions, especially if it's being wrapped as a gift
- Some of the movie-accurate graphic detail relies on stickers rather than printed pieces, and reviewers note they're fiddly to line up straight on the set's narrow panels
- At 319 pieces the finished model is small and mechanically simple for its category; a few enthusiast reviewers feel it's a bit light on substance compared to other car-focused LEGO sets
Is This For You?
Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This
Get it if…
Get it if you're buying for a kid who's at least 9 and already likes LEGO or cars, or if you (or someone on your list) is a Fast & Furious fan, JDM enthusiast, or Speed Champions collector who wants a quick build and a recognizable, accurately-detailed R34 to display.
Skip it if…
Skip it if you want a substantial, hours-long build for the piece count, if you're shopping for a child under 9, since LEGO states 9 as the manufacturer's minimum age due to small parts, or if you're particular about printed detail over stickers.
The verdict
This is a well-built, well-liked pick for what it is: a 319-piece quick build rather than an all-afternoon project. It earns its spot as a starter gift for a 9-year-old who already likes cars or LEGO, and it does double duty as a small, accurate collectible for Fast & Furious fans, JDM car enthusiasts, or Speed Champions collectors who want the R34 on a shelf. Just go in expecting stickers rather than printed detail on some panels, and give the box a quick piece-count check before wrapping it, since missing pieces come up often enough in reviews to be worth a heads-up.
What Real Buyers Say
“Christmas gift for my grandson, he was in love. He forgot about a few other gifts while he put his car together. I get the feeling I'll be ordering more for his birthday and a couple other grandsons. He is 10 years old and he was able to read and understand the directions. It's all put together with good quality materials.”
United States
“Great LEGO build and a fantastic addition to the Speed Champions lineup. The instructions were easy to follow, just like you would expect from LEGO, and the build goes together smoothly. The finished model looks great and captures the style of the iconic Skyline surprisingly well for a set this size. If you're a fan of the Fast & Furious movies, Nissan Skylines, or just enjoy the Speed Champions series, this is a fun and satisfying build.”
United States
“My great grandsons live in another state. I love getting them things that they will enjoy and this is the one they love the most! Great detail, super fun, easy to assemble made with LEGO 1st class quality. The sizes are just right for building a great race car! Highly recommended!”

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this LEGO Nissan Skyline GT-R set actually recommended for?
LEGO lists 9 years old as the manufacturer's minimum age for this set, mainly due to small parts. In practice, reviewers describe both 9 and 10 year olds completing it independently with the printed instructions, and a good number of adult LEGO and Fast and Furious fans buy it for themselves rather than for a child, so treat 9 as the real floor rather than a loose suggestion.
Is this the movie-accurate Fast and Furious Nissan Skyline, and does it include a minifigure?
Yes, this set is modeled on Brian O'Conner's R34 Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious and comes with one Brian O'Conner minifigure sized to sit in the driver's seat. It ships with only that single minifigure, so anyone expecting multiple driver figures or a bigger cast should know it's just the one.
How many pieces are in the set and how long does it take to build?
The set contains 319 pieces. Based on customer reviews, most builders finish it in under an hour, with several mentioning build times as short as 30 minutes, which fits the Speed Champions line's reputation for quick, low-frustration builds rather than long, multi-session projects.
