2022 Market Review - Nissan GTR 1989-2002
A big disparity (around $52K) between the two Australian-spec R32s sold during 2021 highlights the volatile market for these cars.
Far more common here and usually cheaper are Japanese-spec R32s and also the R33s that have become available in significant numbers. Excellent examples of both have been seen at over $100,000, however an R32 in decent order did make only $80,500 at auction.

R34 GTRs are in a different realm, having made massive gains since 2016. Back then, a basic version cost around $70,000 and we described the pricing as ‘unsustainable’, but the market has changed.
Nurburgring (‘Nur’) versions are following overseas trends, where cars showing ultra-low kilometres have reached US$500K. Our best auction result was $378,500. With values of early GTRs climbing so fast, R35s at $120—140,000 offer some value.
