Common Questions
When does the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R become importable to the US?
The R32 GT-R was produced from 1989 to 1994. The earliest 1989 models became eligible under the 25-year rule in 2014, and all R32s are now legal to import. The R33 (1993-1998) is fully eligible, and the highly sought-after R34 GT-R (1999-2002) is just entering eligibility, with the last R34s becoming legal in 2027. Each model year must be individually confirmed against its actual production date.
What is the difference between an R32 GT-R V-Spec and a standard R32 GT-R?
The V-Spec (Victory Spec) has active limited-slip differentials front and rear, firmer suspension tuning, and ATTESA E-TS Pro with torque-split bias toward the rear. The standard R32 GT-R has viscous LSDs and a more neutral ATTESA E-TS setup. V-Spec production was approximately 1,453 units.
What is the difference between R34 GT-R Nür and standard R34 GT-R?
The R34 GT-R Nür (short for Nürburgring) was the final 2002 production variant. It has an N1-specification RB26DETT engine ready for competition tuning, specific gold-tone interior trim, unique 'Nür' badge, and was produced in very limited numbers as a farewell to the R34 generation.
Can I import a Skyline R34 GT-R to the USA in 2026?
Yes. The 25-year rule made 1999 R34 GT-Rs legal to import starting in October 2024. Each year, another model year becomes eligible. Importing requires working with a licensed JDM import broker who handles auction purchase, shipping, and customs compliance. Budget $100,000-300,000 for a clean example.
Key Terms
BNR32 (R32 Skyline GT-R)
The chassis code for the 1989–1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R, the car that ended Porsche's dominance at the Bathurst 1000 and earned the nickname "Godzilla." It introduced ATTESA E-TS AWD and HICAS four-wheel steering to the GT-R lineage.
BNR33 (R33 Skyline GT-R)

The 1999–2002 Skyline GT-R, widely considered the ultimate evolution of the R32-generation GT-R. Featuring a revised RB26DETT, a Multi-Function Display, and improved ATTESA ET-S Pro AWD, the R34 is among the most coveted JDM collector cars.
