The Nissan Skyline GT-R has been against the law in the United States for a long time. The R34 was very popular because of how well it did in the movie “2 Fast 2 Furious.” If you can’t wait for many of these cars to come to the U.S. because of the 25-year rule, this might be the one you want. A beautiful 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec is for sale on Cars and Bids. Notably, the 25-year limit only applies to the first 1998 cars, which means that most R34s are still too new to be imported. But this car is legal because it came into the country under a rule called “Show and Display.” But keep in mind that you can only drive 2,500 miles per year. The R34 GT-R has a 2.6-liter twin-turbo straight-six engine that powers all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. This engine is well-known for how well it works. At the time, the Japanese manufacturer’s “Gentleman’s Agreement” said that the RB26DETT was supposed to make 280 horsepower. From what I’ve heard, it makes about 330 horsepower in basic tune, as you can see above. Its famous Midnight Purple II paint makes it look beautiful both during the day and at night. Because it was a V-Spec version, it also had a stiffer suspension, a better front splitter, and a carbon-fiber back diffuser. The car is almost in its original state with only a few minor changes. The only different things are a new head unit, an M-Spec steering wheel, and an add-on clip-on rearview mirror. Americans should know that this is a right-hand-drive car, so you can expect to be annoyed if you try to use it at the In-N-Out drive-through. The odometer says the car has gone 153,600 km, about 95,400 miles. It has never been a trailer queen because it has always been driven and cared for. The auction ad says it has a few minor problems inside and rock chips and scratches. Some people may judge them, while others may feel freed by it. Getting into and driving a car that’s been used for a while is always more comfortable. Now is your chance to buy the purple Skyline GT-R you’ve always wanted. The highest bid is currently $154,000, but it will likely go up before the sale ends on Thursday night. Even though strange things have happened, it’s impossible to beat the record of $1.18 million from last year. But if you miss out, don’t worry. National exporters are preparing to send many of these cars to the United States soon.
