You're not gonna get a super clean R34 GT-R V-spec for any less than 60k. The cost of the actual car is already super high, then you have import/duties/shipping, taxes and inspection fees. An accident, rebuilt GT-R cost around $30-40k.

60k does seem like a lot when older r35s are creeping into the 70s... 2010 Nissan GTR

Nissan Skyline GT-R has always been Inline-6 TwinTurbo for a long time, ATTESA 4WD, RHD and all that. (at least from R32)
Good example is Porsche 911.
When Porsche came up with more futuristic looking 911 with liquid-cooled engine, people didn't like it at all.
In fact, air-cooled 911s (993, 964, 930, etc..) are much more popular and retain higher resale value than newer liquid cooled models.
996s are worthless, 997 is getting cheaper than air-cooled 911s too.

R34s imported into vancouver are all being put up for sale. Have seen like 6 on craigslist.
Are importers just buying them to flip them to r34 fan boys?
Would love to see a project r34 turned into a liberty walk version!!

You can get them for 30k in ontario, might as well just get it from there and drive it back if you really want it

I also would not compare the values of R34 vs. R35

I was tempted to get a R34 GT-R and almost pulled the trigger on one, but stopped cause it was not reasonable. Haha, got a Evo VI instead for way less. I'll wait till all the R34's become legal to import and hopefully the prices come down, although I don't see it dropping anytime soon.

Those prices are still stupidly high, my car is as very nearly rare as a VSPEC or VSPEC II (1600 made) but nobody is stupid enough to ask $75k for it.
