Sorry but R32 is ugly, if they were available in the US all along, then these days it would just be another old 240SX stanced out drift car owned by dumb kids.
It is possible that these may have eventually ended up stanced out/drifted by kids IF they were always available in the US. But guess what?

The R32 GT-R is a very special car, but it was also a sales success after the Japanese economic boom of the late 80's, and as a result Nissan sold over 43,000 of them.
The high production numbers are the only reason that these aren't worth more. One of the most successful Japanese racing cars of all time, the R32 GT-R.

Those were ruined from the day they came out. Ironically you see less of the 15+ generation ruined by kids because they have gotten expensive (up to mid 40's) but a lot of that general community is a bunch of asshats.

He's talking about the R34 Skyline in general, not necessarily the GT-R version. Plenty of GT-T and GT-X versions for under $15K.

I may take the car to its first auto-cross this weekend. In typical fashion, this was decided yesterday night, so there's no time to prep except for an oil change and a car wash. I'm not a big auto-crosser, but the nearest track is over 200 miles away and there are no twisties nearby so this will be the first time the car is run on a course. I'm looking forward to seeing how it actually handles near the limit and will report back.

Some R34's already in Canada (15 year rule)
Pricing around 15-30 CAD Depending on the model and condition

I think when the R34 GT-Rs become legal stateside, they will probably sell for around 80-100k USD for a clean, low mile example. In case anyone is wondering and if I didn't mention it already, my R32 cost around mid-20k to buy. I could have bought cheaper if I was okay with a gray, modified car with no history, but, because this was a close-to-stock single owner car with maintenance records, there was a slight premium, as expected.

After having the R35 for a few months and tracking it at Road Atlanta, I felt that I experienced everything that car had to offer. Its performance is very impressive and accessible to most drivers, making it too good for its own good, if that makes any sense.
