Top 5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Buy a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R


Top 5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Buy a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R

The Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R is one of the most iconic JDM cars of all time. But before you go rushing into the turbocharged dream life, maybe — just maybe — it’s not for you. Here’s why...



1. Everyone Will Stare — and Ask Questions

If you buy an R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, be prepared to turn heads everywhere. Gas stations, red lights, parking lots — people will stop you just to ask, “Is that a Skyline?” or “How did you get that here?”

If you hate attention, the Skyline R34 isn’t your car.



2. It's Not Cheap (And It Won’t Be Any Time Soon)

Want a clean, legal Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R? You’re looking at six figures. This isn’t a budget tuner anymore — it’s a collector’s weapon. And with more demand each year, prices for GTR34 Nissan Skyline models keep climbing.

Looking for a cheap JDM project car? Look elsewhere.


3. It’s Too Fast, Too Smart, Too Addictive

Between the RB26DETT twin-turbo engine, ATTESA AWD, and the iconic Multi-Function Display (MFD), the R34 isn’t just fun — it’s dangerously fun. Once you experience a proper pull in a Skyline, your daily driver will feel like a golf cart.

Life before an R34 GT-R is calm. Life after is expensive and full of boost.



4. People Will Assume You're in Fast & Furious

Own a Skyline R34 Nissan, and someone will call you Brian O'Conner at least once a week. It comes with the territory. If you’re not cool with being asked about the *Fast and Furious car* 24/7 — or if you secretly wanted an Eclipse instead — stay out of Bayside Blue.



5. Because Once You Buy One… There’s No Going Back

The R34 is a gateway drug. Today it's a Skyline Nissan GT-R. Tomorrow it’s a built R32, an R33 sedan, a GT-R N1 track build, and then a garage full of Japanese legends. The Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R isn’t a one-time fling — it’s a long-term obsession.


So... Should You Still Get One?

If you're afraid of attention, speed, admiration, or turbo noises echoing through tunnels — then no, this car isn't for you.

But if you want to own a piece of JDM history, feel connected to the road like never before, and drive a legend that still breaks necks worldwide... then maybe you can’t afford not to.
