The R34 GT-R Is Highly Overrated

By the time they’ll be old enough to import nobody will be able to afford one. I hope the streets won’t be flooded with poorly modded GTT’s and GTS’s. I just want a stock R33 GTS-T.

I'm just glad it becomes legal in 2025 because I would be 25 which means I could probably afford it and have low insurance.

You'll have student loans worth more than an R34.

I feel the same way.

But how stock is that R33? That bumper? Those wheels? That wing? Maybe it is, maybe I just never see stock ones.

At a guess I’d say it’s the same AH3 Cherry Red Pearl as my old Z :D

R34 GTR’s in Canada are already outrageous. The most cheap one I’ve seen is low $60k, seen them creep up to low 6 figures. The GT-T’s, & GT-S’s you are still a affordable ($15K-$20k) I’m not a fan of how the R34 looks (I like it in sedan form), I prefer the R33 in looks. You can still get a good R33 GTR for $30k-$40k. Just look at them R34 GTR prices:

Don’t count on it. While R34s have only just become importable and R33s are a little bit too obscure for the average “R.I.C.E.R.” (Race Inspired Car EnhanceR), basically every non-GTR R32 is riced out completely. The only reason GT-Rs haven’t been riced into oblivion is because they’re too expensive.

As a bonus, prices for the previous generations will go down as each new one becomes importable.

I’ve always been a Toyota fan so I’ve never bothered to look up Skylines. I just assumed they would be around the Ł20,000 you would pay for a manual Twin Turbo Supra. NOPE. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Ł40,000! The R34 GTR was fucking sold here, how has it got so expensive. It’s not like they’re that rare.

Don’t fuck college up. Otherwise, we will KNOW .

Isn’t the only attribute of Skylines the fact that they weren’t for sale in the US?

I just want a DR30, I’ll let everybody else fanboi (and wreck) their R34s.

I’d be happy with any non GTR with RWD at this point, or an R30/R31 RS-Turbo.....

Kinja'd!!!

You can have all of our R33's from NZ.. There are regularly posts about buying skylines and they usually include a variant of “No boats” or “No 33's” etc etc. (a R33 is referenced as a boat here in NZ). I don’t mind them when they are done well, but most of them are molested and look a bit crap.

I’d rather just stick with a Stagea myself. Sure they’re not cheap, still in the 20K range, but it’s a helluva lot better than six figures.

This is very true. I’m in Canuckistan and R32 GTS are dirt cheap now. You can easily get one for under 5K. R32 GTR’s I’ve seen for as little as $8500.

R32GTS under 5K

R32GTR 9-15K

R33 GTS 5-7K

R33GTR 12-18K

R34GTS 13-18K

R34GTR 50-200K

I imagine a lot of those R32s have been run into the ground. Not that that would necessarily stop me. If I had 6-7 grand to spare i’d head up to the GTA, find a GTS-T Type M that needs some TLC and drive it back down here. Right now they’re $12-14k here, depending on number of doors.

So...because they’re worth a lot, that means they’re overrated?
