R34 Skyline GT-R N1 Alive (And For Sale) in the States

This listing was spotted on our Twitter feed by RJ’s director of business operations (proof that we’re all car enthusiasts here), and after noticing that it was on consignment with the Auto Kennel in sort-of-nearby Costa Mesa, California, I made my way to see this legendary machine in person.

Since Nissan never released the R34 Skyline GT-R in the states, you’ll only find it in a right-hand drive configuration. The car’s popularity has had a surge thanks to videogames and movies; the late Paul Walker piloted a GT-R in Universal’s (regrettable) blockbuster movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. This particular GT-R, chassis #1223, was campaigned by the Susuki Racing Mechanics Team (Japan’s oldest continuous racing team) in a handful of Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) races as well as the Super Taikyu, both of which are endurance style series.
