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.
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.
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.
