Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R For Sale — Import From Japan

Sales of the BNR34, the R34 Skyline GT-R, began in January 1999. Nissan built the last cars in August 2002, roughly 11,500 in all. Every one has the 2,568 cc RB26DETT twin-turbo straight six, rated at 280 PS and 392 Nm, plus a six-speed Getrag gearbox, Super HICAS four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive. On the standard car that's ATTESA E-TS with a mechanical rear limited-slip differential, while the V-spec, V-spec II and M-spec use ATTESA E-TS Pro with an active rear differential instead. At 2,665 mm, the wheelbase is 55 mm shorter than the R33 GT-R's. The standard car, the V-spec and the stripped V-spec N1 racing base launched together. In October 2000 the V-spec II replaced the V-spec. After that came the softer-riding M-spec in May 2001 and, in February 2002, the Nür versions with N1-spec engines. Whichever one you're looking at, settle the chassis number and the equipment that proves its grade before anything else.

What to check on a Skyline R34 GT-R

What it costs to import a Skyline R34 GT-R

The card prices above are what each car costs in Japan. The shipped price on a card is that car delivered to your nearest US port, with ocean freight and export fees included. We then clear it through US customs as your importer of record and handle the title, so there's no customs broker for you to hire. The full cost breakdown has the details.

Is the Skyline R34 GT-R legal to import?

Any vehicle 25 years or older is legal to import into the USA without meeting modern FMVSS safety or EPA emissions standards. Eligibility runs on the month and year of manufacture, not just the model year. If the exact R34 GT-R you want is not yet eligible, we can buy it and store it in Japan until it is. See the 25-year rule explained.

How buying one from us works

We bid at Japanese auctions and buy from dealer stock on your behalf. Before any money moves, the car is physically inspected in Japan, with photos, video, and a condition report, not just an auction sheet grade. After purchase we handle export, ocean freight to your nearest US port, customs clearance, import duty, and US title, so the car arrives ready to register. Typical timeline is 45–60 days from purchase to delivery.

What do you check before buying a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R?

Every car is inspected in person in Japan before any money moves. On this chassis we look hardest at: Start with the chassis number, which should begin BNR34 and match the model plate and export paperwork. GT-R bumpers, badges and wheels prove nothing alone, while the RB26DETT, six-speed Getrag and multi-function display should all be there; Check the equipment against the claimed grade. A V-spec or V-spec II has ATTESA E-TS Pro, an active rear differential and front and carbon rear diffusers. An M-spec has heated leather seats and its own steering wheel. A carbon hood alone isn't enough; A V-spec II N1 came only in white, with an unpainted carbon hood, door reflectors instead of marker lamps and black mirrors. A Nür wears a chrome three-dimensional grade emblem rather than a sticker. Any of these details can be copied, so check the records; Do a hard launch and watch the multi-function display, which reads out the torque split. It should show drive reaching the front wheels. Get the alignment checked too, since the tires wear quickly if it's off.

What does the V-spec add over the standard GT-R?

In place of the standard car's ATTESA E-TS and mechanical rear limited-slip differential, the V-spec gets ATTESA E-TS Pro and an active rear differential, which can also split torque between the left and right rear wheels. The suspension is firmer. There's a front diffuser and a carbon rear diffuser, and the multi-function display adds intake and exhaust temperature readouts. Output stays at 280 PS, but the ride is harsher and the car follows ruts more readily.

Does a carbon hood make an R34 GT-R a V-spec II?

It takes more than the hood. From the October 2000 update, the carbon hood was a built-to-order dealer option on the standard GT-R, and every GT-R got the aluminum pedals and black cloth seats. A V-spec II will also have ATTESA E-TS Pro with the active rear differential, a front diffuser and carbon rear diffuser, front brake air guides, a two-stage tachometer, and nine readouts on the multi-function display instead of seven.

How is the M-spec different from the V-spec II?

Added in May 2001, the M-spec is a ride-comfort version of the V-spec II and keeps its ATTESA E-TS Pro. It has Ripple Control dampers and a thinner rear anti-roll bar (23.0 mm instead of 24.2 mm). Inside there are heated hand-stitched leather seats and its own steering wheel, and the hood is aluminum rather than the V-spec II's carbon. Nissan built 366, plus 285 M-spec Nürs in 2002.

How rare are the N1 cars, and what do they leave out?

Nissan built 38 V-spec N1s from January 1999 and 18 V-spec II N1s from October 2000, as bases for N1 endurance racing. Both get turbochargers with metal turbine wheels instead of ceramic ones, plus an extra engine oil cooler. They were delivered without air conditioning, audio or a rear wiper, though ABS stayed. The V-spec II N1 was white only, and its carbon hood was left unpainted.
