It wasnt just the 34 that skyrotted in value, the 32 and 33 did as well. 5 years ago, you could pick up a decent R32 GTR for $20k here in the states. Now, that car has more than doubled in price...

[@jasonn2284]

I know it doubled but do you know why?

[@buildingcarsissohard1813]

@jasonn2284 Many factors but the biggest one is supply and demand. The kids, us, who grew up around these things are now having the type of income it takes to afford them. Then of course there's social media clout and all that

Don't forget that on top of the car cost you have part cost and availability. Nothing is cheap on these cars, though thankfully Nismo Heritage is reproducing many of them. Absolute dream of a car to drive, plus it's really the last of the "good ol' days" where the computers were modern enough to make it run well but not integrated into every aspect of the car like modern cars. Much easier to modify and tune this way.

[@brettro8210]

We are living in an age of excess when a GT-R is going for this amount of money. They are amazing and I've driven all the BNR (BCNR) range both stock and highly modified and I love them but not at this price, it's really just a wank to purchase one of these for this, everyone is just jumping on the hype train. Porsche GT3 or the Datto for the money, I know what I'd pick.

[@JH-jo9wt]

Someone needs to make a spaceframe chassis floorplan version laser scanned where you just add the parts like what Dodson did with the R35 chassis. Save hundrds of kilos increase the torsional rigidity x 3 and have a way better car $200k sucks when your going to change out every part bc lets be real every decent GTR makes over 1000hp and that costs $$

[@monibstar]

would love to get one someday but will there be spares and parts for it and will they also be expensive 😮

[@HandMadeWrath]

@@oler777 based on what? Drag racing?? Vettes are notorious for handling like shit. Either way man this is like saying who cares about owning a 69 charger when a 2009 hell cat is faster. Thats not the point at all. Some people want the r34 cuz its their dream car. Nothing more nothing less.

[@oler777]

@@HandMadeWrath so you have a skill issue? Just because you don't know how to drive a rear wheel drive car to its limit that's your problem so if you look at lap times and compare the 34 a car made in the 90s to the C5 Corvette another car made in the 90s. You get the same times as long as you take the run flats off the vet. I'm not gonna compare it to the C6 anymore because that's a car that won 24hrs of le mans so wheres the 34s win there based on the fact that the hellcat didn't come out in 2015 I don't think you know anything about cars so saying something is notoriously hard to drive when you have a never driven either of them means I'm wasting my time talking to a mongoloid. And if your dream car is a 90s Datsun, you need to have bigger dreams.

[@oler777]

@@HandMadeWrath that absolutely is not the case nobody's talking about a 69 charger and comparing it to a 2009 hellcat one because one didn't exist in two because that's not what we're talking about. Nobody's talking about Old versus new we're talking about a car made in the same year doing the same laps times around the same tracks using different techniques. 2002 c5 vs 2002 34
