Buying an R34 Skyline GT-R in the US

The R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R (1999–2002) is among the most sought-after JDM imports. Now that early cars have passed the 25-year mark, they can be imported legally.

  • Budget: clean V-Spec examples command well into six figures; condition and mileage swing the price hard.
  • Verify the VIN and build date for import eligibility.
  • Buy through a Skyline/GT-R specialist (see the directory) who can verify auction sheets and handle compliance.
