    When used R34 GTRs were around 50-60k it was a obtainable dream car for me. I had every intention of throwing money at one in 2024. However after money printer started going brrrrr like crazy in 2020 and 2021 that dream is more or less dead, especially when you consider they'll cost 140k+ for a high miles example by then. It's not even remotely worth it to me at that price.

If it's your dream car , and that's what you want to work towards then yes . I seen one here in NZ for about 200k from memory . Was tidy . But that's too expensive in my opinion.

    All the dash readouts in the MFD of the R34 were designed, from layout to font, by Polyphony Digital, the creators of Gran Turismo.

      I see your point, but did you know there are more R32 GTR's made than all the R33 GTR and all R34 GTR's combined? The r34 does seem to be a bit overhyped though.
      Imo the R33 GTR gives the best bang for the buck, ive driven all 3 generations and owned the R33 GTR V-spec for 10.5 years.
      It is better driving than the r32, got almost all the tech of the r34 chassis, while also providing the most interiour space. And if you desperatly want a 6th gear or mfd, you could retrofit both. And all that for 1/3rd of the price

      @@gtrulez I am aware of production numbers. I have been looking to sell 1 of my 240z's to buy an R32 or R33 GTR. But I'm still not sure I really want to do that. For me the R32 GTR has slightly more appeal because I remember it racing at Bathurst in the early 90s. I agree the 33 is more refined, but I find the styling a little bland (probably because you see so many R33 GTSTs about). However I do like the series 3 R33 GTRs and the 400R is an amazing machine. But I also have a Nissan Stagea 260rs (99 model) which as you probably know has an Rb26 and is the perfect family hauler. So I feel I've kind of scratched the itch of a GTR. Plus they only made 1,700 of those!
      I've always kind of preferred the Rx7s and I'm in the process of getting my FD back on the road now. I feel the GTR is a cool JDM icon but it's more muscle / GT car than pure sports car. Where as the FD is as pure a sports car experience as you can get.

      The biggest problem with the R34 is the over-hype it gets nowadays. It was a great car for being more or less a Japanese BMW M3: fast but practical and unique and interesting but not a full blown exotic and all sold for a reasonable price. The reasonable price aspect has been blown out of the water, now you can get a Porsche or Ferrari from that era for less money, so what the hell is everyone doing paying so much for R34s?
      I just said fuck it and got a motorcycle, I'll destroy almost any car and it only cost me $5700 for a pristine used one. It's actually hilarious, so far I've had Porsches, Teslas, and even a Lambo once line up next to me at a red light and "suddenly need to turn right" because they know they'd get embarrassed. You don't feel bad riding motorcyles hard, either, because they're way more serviceable than cars and if you somehow blow an engine a nice used one off of eBay is like $2k max because there are so many out there from totaled bikes.

    Yes, it is not worth the price. But it is still a car I want to own forever in the future.
    The insane markup it has right now... Really, even if it is an emotional investment, THAT MUCH? it's crazy, the price of some R34s and when it becomes US legal, all the rich fuckbois looking to be cool will buy them for whatever price and drive it to insane prices. Ofc, not everyone who's buying it is just a rich "cool" guy trying to flex.
    Hopefully, as the years go by, these guys stash them back into the market (like they always do) and it'll be cheaper then. Although, they might have been modded to hell and thrashed a lot.

    In my humble opinion, the R34 is worthless in terms of performance when you compare it to the R35. But the nostalgia feeling the R34 has is indeed priceless. The price of an R34 will go up in value yes but in terms of costs, the R35 is a much better buy in terms of super cars. You got nearly double the horsepower and torque in the R35 at half the price of an R34.

    I’d say no from my experience but it’s not just the R34 GT-R all of these 90s JDM cars people fan girl over hard are not worth the money of modern day. I’d rather have something that does not need to be built to be competitive and to have fun in. But it’s good for me regardless because the more people feed into the hype and overpay on these cars the higher my chances are of selling my R34 to get into a Gen V Viper 😂

I ended up getting a Gen 5 Viper.

      It's really not big at all, the R34 looks bigger in person, honestly. It had a slightly longer wheel base than the R32 and R34, which made it a little worse on tight circuits but also more stable on fast stretches of road/track. The biggest drawback is the 5 speed vs. the 6 speed manual.
