I'm sure many of you already know this is coming soon, but never have I found a better use for this meme:

Pricing has gone way up on these in the last few years...assuming it's because we're getting ready for import.

I have a friend (co worker) in Japan prepared to look at anything I want...and an importer set up since I ship from Japan to the US often. Just don't know if that's what I want to part my money on. Rarity is cool, but only goes so far. I mean yeah, it would be cool to go through the drive-thru backwards...

[///MPhatic]

Yeah, unfortunately the pricing, and age are going to kill my chances of getting one, but it'll be nice to see them on the road on that RARE occasion.

[Esteban]

Love those cars. Can't wait to see one on the road. Will definitely take pics and post them here.

[nunzo]

Companies have been buying up and sitting on these in Japan for years in anticipation. Pricing is insane especially for Midnight Purple / Millenium Jade / NUR.

[oVeRdOsE.]

I do remember when the law where I live was 15 years, some were starting importing them prior to the 15. R34was around 35-50k $ cad, and we were like '' fck dman, its expensive for a old car''.

R32 were going around 7-10k$, and R33 around 15-20k$ cad....


Some imported them, then the law changed to 25years and they still kept them, only track use. Who's laughing now...

r32 goring around 40-60k$cad now. R34 80-120k $ cad...

I see more and more non-gtr R43 on the road. A neighbour run a 4 door one in the winter.

Couldn’t stop ogling this at my local detailer when I took the M3 in. Caught a glimpse of the front bumper through a door and immediately recognized it lol. First one I’ve seen up close.

Who has bought an old car that wasn't a disappointment?

[NickyC]

Meh, would have been cool to own maybe 10-15 years ago but for me tastes have changed. I've owned all of the big JDM cars of the mid/late 90s and while those were some fun days, I have never had the urge to drive one again.

[Joebie]

As a 90s kid the R34 has a big spot in my heart. Im going to scream like a little girl if i see one of these driving around in the middle of the USA where im from.

I don't have any complaints with mine, puts a smile on my face every time I drive it and I love the way it looks. My wife feels the same way about hers too.

[forcefed]

Overhyped car imo, yes i loved it in gran turismo but gimme a break on these prices.

[R N M]

In Stock form - the R34 or MKIV Supra are just not that great compared to modern performance cars.

They look amazing once modded a bit and you can throw bunch of $$$ at them to bring them up to performance level of current cars.

I do think they will continue to go up in value over time along with NSX, LFA and other halo JDM cars.

welcome to 2002.

car is 20 years old. I had an old built 300ZX 20 years ago. to overpay these days for 30 year old technology? stock they are boring as sh*t. And yes I have been driven in 1. Modding is a different story. But stock, its like a supra, 300ZX, RX7.


Ill pass. Especially for the crazy prices people will soon be paying

that's really what this comes down to... there is emotion there and sentiment from a lot of people just like with the prior gen supra that is outweighing reality...

How is this any more desirable or a better performer than the current GTR which is now also very old lol? rarity and emotion and it kind of ends there... if someone wants to pay $100k for that and get mowed by a G80x... have fun.

You’re also going to draw the attention of dudes. A lot, of dudes. Women will think you’re driving some old beater and all you will be left with are the dudes.

A lot, of dudes.

Soooo disappointing this will be to own.

[Silence*]

They've been running around up here for the last 10 years already. Still a good looking & iconic car to see for sure, but not worth the prices people are paying for them at this point (IMO).
