No-Street 1999 Nissan GT-R SKYLINE R34 for $119,990!
No-Street 1999 Nissan GT-R SKYLINE R34 for $119,990!-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

Get ready to get 2fast and 2furious with a 200MPH+ JDM TIME ATTACK CAR JUN AUTO WORKS GT-R! HA, HA, HA!

Okay, right out front, this car is not street legal in the US, but that never stopped anybody, right? I mean, Vin Diesel is all about the clandestine street racing scene, and he's been in, what, three of those movies, so how tough could it be?

The Skyline model name originally appeared on a Prince luxury sedan in 1957. But we're not too interested in those stodgy, old, upright, bank-president specials, we want something a little more modern, and a lot faster. Though Nissan never officially sold the Skyline GT-R in the land of the free and the home of the debt-enslaved, a good number have made it over while still keeping their JDM freak flags flying.


Here, enjoying some rest and relaxation in the Bahamas, is a '99 R34 V-spec, specially modified by Legendary Supercar builder Jun Auto Works. It's sporting the RB26DETT 2.6-liter, DOHC, 24-valve straight six with a claimed 1,000 ponies at the rear tires, and a 200MPH+ top end. For your damn-near one hundred and twenty grand, you'll get that serial-killer of a motor, plus composite doors, hood, decklid and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler to keep the tires on the tarmac, and the air nice and clean for everybody behind you.

But really, they'll actually be beside you, won't they, as this car screams for some drift action? And as it's a track-only ride, you'll get plenty of opportunity to test its polar inertia, and the coefficient of friction of the combined tires' contact patch, in doing so. AWD and the Getrag 6-speed row-your-own will keep you in charge, no matter how you choose to lay that power down. And speaking of which, there's that sentence in red, about half-way down the page: Car Ran 9:40s in the quatermile! No, they can't spell, but sweet jebus, you want this car.

Now back to that price. $119,990 will buy you a nice house, if you choose to buy where there's 7%+ unemployment. That'd also put you behind the wheel of a brand new Nissan GT-R, with enough left over to cover the penicillin shots for all the STDs you'll get due to the car's carnal attraction. And this GT-R's not even street legal here in the states, so cruising Woodward Boulevard, much less the Dairy Queen over in Mount Pilot, is out of the question, unless you want to play Dukes of Hazard with the local po-po. And one last thing to keep in mind, is that the $119,990 price tag requires PayPal. Yeah, right.

So is $119,990 a Nice Price for the hottest thing to come out of Japan since the wasabi doughnut? Or should we be looking up the Japanese for Crack Pipe about now?

You decide!

For $2,500, what this is, I do not know.
For $2,500, what this is, I do not know.
Before acquiring the necessary balance required for mastering a two-wheeler, many of us started out in kindergarten riding trikes. Today's half-a-Sunbird trike speaks to your inner kid, but is its price annoyingly childish? A Ferrari with a salvage title is much like a supermodel with an STD - still high...

If you wanted to go off-roading, you could always get a Jeep, or if you're an anglophile, a Land Rover. But if you like both dirt under your tires and , then today's Mercedes Geländewagen may just be your ride. You might however, find its price lederhosed. Dear backwoods builder...

For $4,000, repent harlequin, said the craigslist ad
Volkswagen's Golf has always been popular, so popular in fact that some people can't bring themselves to own only one. Today's Harlequin edition is a technicolor yawn of a Golf that'd be like owning a bunch. But will its price color your opinion? Speaking of the Germans, yesterday's fun in...

For $14,000, is this Jeep a heap?
Jeeps and the Military go together like boot camp and calisthenics. Today's M-677 Forward Control is a special edition that was built for the military, but does its project status and price have you exclaiming this means war? The American Bantam-designed, Willys-contracted Jeep was the do-all vehicle that helped kick...

For $25,900, omg, omg, omg... oh, 348TS
Okay, let's just get this out of the way- today's Ferrari 348TS is tainted with a salvage title. That being said, it's still a twenty-five grand 348, and the Florida seller does specifically say, Will not be Dissappointed. What could possibly go wrong? Wrong was the opinion of 82% of...

2012 Porsche 911: First Drive
Does the continue to advance the 911's sports-car capability, while making it accessible to the widest possible pool of potential drivers, and without throttling its famous rear-engined motoring quirkiness? Let's drive the new Carrera S and find out. Porsche wanted me to drive the new 911 so badly, that they...
