Model guide · Updated monthly from the auction floor
The car that earned the name Godzilla — and the last Skyline generation that's still genuinely attainable. Real auction prices, every variant, and what a 30-year-old GT-R hides from listing photos.
What they really cost
Hammer prices at Japan's major auctions move every week. These are the working ranges we're seeing for clean, honest cars — before auction fees, our service fee, and shipping.
| Variant | Typical auction range | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| GTE / GTS (coupe & sedan) | ¥0.8M – ¥2Mapprox. US$5–14k | The honest entry ticket to R32 ownership. Sedans are the hidden bargain. |
| GTS-t Type M | ¥1.5M – ¥3.5Mapprox. US$10–24k | RB20DET turbo, rear-drive, GT-R brakes on the Type M — the drifter's classic. |
| GTS-4 | ¥1.5M – ¥3Mapprox. US$10–20k | GT-R's ATTESA 4WD with the RB20DET — rare, underrated winter-country pick. |
| GT-R (BNR32) | ¥4.5M – ¥9Mapprox. US$31–62k | Godzilla itself. Condition and originality spread the range wide — we grade in person. |
| GT-R V-Spec / V-Spec II | ¥8M – ¥15Mapprox. US$55–100k | 1993–94 homologation specials, BBS wheels, bigger brakes. Documented cars command the top end. |
| NISMO / N1 editions | ¥15M+collector territory | 560 NISMO road cars, ~245 N1s. Provenance is everything — talk to us first. |

Can you import one?
Every R32 is past the 25-year mark — the whole range, GT-R included, is federally legal. California adds its own emissions hurdles.
Well past the 25-year threshold. We ship to our compliance partners in AU for registration — door-to-door is our home game.
No age restriction, and R32s over 40 years away from historic status still enjoy simple registration. RHD, naturally.
Individual approval per country — and early R32s qualify for Germany's H-plate historic registration (30+ years), which eases the process. We prepare the documents.
Not sure about your country? Ask us — import law guidance is part of the service.
Before you bid
An R32 is at least 30 years old. The gap between a cherished one and a tired one is enormous — and invisible in listing photos. That's why we put hands on the car before you commit a yen.
Not a mockup — the actual gallery delivered for a recent R32 GT-R inspection. Eight timed videos, strut towers, engine bay, gauges. Straight to your WhatsApp.
Proof, not promises
