1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR34) — Silver

Registered in February 1999, this BNR34 GT-R passed the 25-year mark in early 2024, which means it can clear United States federal import rules on age alone. That's the first thing most people ask about an R34, so it's the first thing I'll put down.

The car itself: a silver two-door with 110,981 km on the clock, manual gearbox, and the RB26DETT twin-turbo 2.6-litre inline-six at 2600cc. Drive goes to all four wheels through the ATTESA E-TS Pro system. Right-hand drive, petrol.

No repair history.

An early 1999 registration makes this one of the first-year R34 GT-Rs. The odometer figure is neither low nor high for the type; at roughly 4,100 km a year it reads like a car that got used on weekends and put away in between. Silver hides the small marks that a quarter century of ownership leaves behind. Ask for the underside and engine-bay photos if you want to see how it was kept.
