Here's How Much You'll Pay For Every Generation Nissan GT-R

• Nissan

Nearly every automaker has one or two models that define its image or are so well-known that they become the poster child of the entire brand. The Chevrolet Suburban is the longest-running car name, but the company is probably better known for the Corvette.

Nissan

Nissan Motor Corporation is a Japanese automaker founded in 1933 and the parent automaker of Infiniti and formerly Datsun. Nissan produces a wide variety of mass-market vehicles, including popular SUVs like the Rogue, sedans like the Sentra, and trucks like the Nissan Frontier, but is also responsible for iconic sports cars like the Nissan Z and GT-R. Since 1999, Nissan has been part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance (the name changed when Mitsubishi joined in 2016).

In Nissan's case, the "GT-R" models are the most prolific offerings. Originally established at the tail end of the 1960s, each iteration has been met with immense fervor from the consumer market. However, now that the last rendition of the GT-R model has been laid to rest, we have decided to find out what each generation of Nissan's GT-R models costs.

Average selling price: $95,000 - $114,290

GT-R Coupe-source

The origins of Nissan's GT-R lineage began with a Japanese sports car that had American muscle car styling and made use of the automaker's best technology, internally referred to as the PGC10, but known to the rest of the world as the Nissan 2000GT-R. Offered in sedan and coupe configuration, the 2000GT-R relied on a 2.0-liter inline six-cylinder known as the S20, which was, in essence, the production version of an engine used in the Prince R380 race car.

The Spirit Of The Nissan Z Has Nothing To Do With What's Under The Hood

There are plenty of cute little sports cars out there, but somehow the Nissan Z has managed to become the fan favorite around the world.

Following the merger into the Nissan operation in the mid-1960s, it was exclusive to the Japanese Nissan dealership, the Nissan Prince Store. This iteration of the GT-R lineage was never offered in the United States but would be imported as a gray market car. These days you can easily import it under the 25-year rule. Aside from being the founding member of one of the most celebrated model lines ever created, its asking price on the used market has increased because these cars are incredibly rare.

This means that relatively passable examples of the 2000 GT-R can still fetch a hefty sum on the used market. An example of the 1971 model year is listed on Bring A Trailer, and in 2022, it was sold for just under $200,000. An example of the 1969 2000 GT-R in a sedan configuration sold for $130,000. With lower performance and weaker engines, the GT versions typically sell for under $100,000.

Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110)

Average selling price: > $176,000

1973_Skyline_H_T_2000GT_R-source

This is the rarest GT-R generation, considering that production only lasted a few months, and only 197 units were produced. Although the power source remained unchanged from the first generation GT-R to this generation, the styling was revised, leaning more toward its 1950s American car styling. Unlike its predecessor, this generation never went racing and, as such, was given the nickname "the Phantom GT-R."

Despite never participating in motorsport, this GT-R was the first car in the Japanese market to feature disc brakes for each wheel. So, what is an example of the cost of a 1973 Nissan Skyline KPGC110 on the used market? The prices are eye-watering because it was an extremely rare model in the GT-R badge's history.

In 2020, an example of a KPGC110 was sold for nearly $500,000. Another example was sold in 2015 for $176,000, the low end of the spectrum. A genuine example of the KPGC110 will likely cost more than $176,000 on the used market, but finding a genuine example is the hard part.

Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R

Average selling price: $44,000

1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Nismo Black Front Angle

This generation marks the emergence of the famous "Godzilla" nickname, which would be incorrectly used to refer to every generation of the Nissan GT-R. The R32 GT-R broke the GT-R badge's 16-year hiatus and was a model that dominated on public roads and in the highest echelons of motorsport, which is why this particular model is known as Godzilla.

Moving away from the S20 engine, the Nissan Skyline R32 GT was powered by the legendary RB26DETT. This engine fed all of its power to every corner of the sultry Japanese sports car via an electronically controlled torque split four-wheel-drive system called the ATTESA E-TS.

The Most Powerful Nismo Model Ever Built By Nissan

Nissan's Nismo division has offered up a range of rapid vehicles during its history, but its most powerful was introduced less than a decade ago.

Like its predecessors, the R32 GT-R wasn't sold in the United States but became eligible for import into the States in 2014. The Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R falls into two camps on the used market: lightly modified or heavily modified. A heavily modified example of the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R was sold on Bring A Trailer earlier this year for less than $36,500. In contrast, a more conservative example of a modified R32 GT-R was sold for $49,500. Unsurprisingly, the stock or lightly modified examples of the R32 GT-R are sold for much more. Some examples with less intrusive modifications and in better condition sold for nearly $65,000.

Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R

Average selling price: $62,460

1995-1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Black Front Angle

The follow-up to the R32 GT-R was the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, the internet's least favorite iteration of the GT-R series. Nissan kept the fervor generated by the Nissan R32 GT-R with the R33 GT-R, which relied on the same engine as its predecessor and a new all-wheel-drive system called the ATTESSA E-TS PRO. It was faster, lighter, more stable, and had better performance.

Because of its age, performance, and abundance compared to the R32 GT-R, the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R has a slightly higher asking price on the used market. Like the R32 GT-R, the R33 GT-R can also be found mostly in either a lightly modified or an unreasonably disturbed form. Some clean and highly desirable examples with a few modifications can be sold for nearly $100,000. In contrast, most past auctions and sales on sites like BringATrailer have typically been sold for between $60,000 and $75,000.

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R

Average selling price: $130,401

1999-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Purple Front Angled View

This iteration of the GT-R badge needs very little introduction as it is the most prolific and beloved model in the GT-R series. Like the R32 GT-R, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R dominated the motorsport scene, but unlike the R32 GT-R, this rendition of the badge also dominated on screen, becoming famous for its role as Paul Walker's weapon of choice in the Fast And Furious movies.

Given its storied history, significance in pop culture, and cult following within the automotive world, examples of these on the used market are scarcer than the R32 GT-R and R33 GT-R, with the models available typically being special edition offshoots like V-Spec models. As such, the R34 GT-R is typically sold at a much higher price. Only two months into 2025, three examples of the R34 GT-R have been sold on Bring A Trailer, with the least expensive listing having sold for $144,000 and the most expensive example fetching more than $200,000. Extremely low mileage examples can be sold for close to $500,000.

Nissan R35 GT-R

Average selling price: $96,277

2011 Nissan GT-R - front 3/4 angle

The introduction of the Nissan R35 GT-R caused a stir in the enthusiast community, which called the R35 GT-R ugly, too big, and too heavy compared to its predecessor, especially the R34 GT-R, which is still held in high regard. However, beyond internet experts protesting the R35 GT-R, it was and still is an amazing performance vehicle. The source of its strength is one of the most potent renditions of Nissan's celebrated VQ engine family and commanded an output far greater than its predecessors.

Although having a dedicated community of naysayers, the R35 GT-R can be found on the used market for much less than MSRP, while NISMO variants of more recent model years have been sold for north of $300,000. Typically, examples from the early 2010s are sold for roughly $60,000 to $80,000 depending on condition, mileage, and modifications.

More recent examples are sold at a much higher price, with T-Spec models regularly selling for more than $100,000 and even close to $200,000. Now laid to rest, the R35 GT-R is the last in a long line of high-profile Japanese sports cars.
