Used Car of the Day: 2002 Nissan R34

by Tim Healey

Published: March 29th, 2024

Today we bring you an insanely expensive used car -- it's so expensive because it's so rare.

It's 2002 Nissan R34.

Only 750 were made, and only 62 in this color.

This one is a V-Spec II and has a Haltech-Ti exhaust and some NISMO mods.

The New Jersey-based seller appears to be some sort of collector and/or small dealer, based on his Instagram, and we usually try to avoid featuring cars sold by these folks -- simply because UCOTD finds are more interesting when they belong to some average Joe or Jane -- but this one looked cool.

Even at the $340,000 price. Click here if you want to see it.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Buying this as an investment is much riskier than rare 60's era performance cars. If I had the cash for this I'd lean towards a Shelby Mustang or Galaxie Lightweight.

My friend's son has a R34 he races at the track. The RB25 is currently being rebuilt to around 600hp. In a stripped R34 this engine should make it quite fast.

1995 SC PA is concerning, but if it spent most of its life elsewhere and was someone's baby up there and isn't rusty it seems fairly priced.
CanadaCraig I don't see ANY large 'cheap' cars on the market. And I'm saying there should be.
1995 SC I never cared for the fins and over the top bodies on these, but man give me that interior all day. I love it
1995 SC Modern 4 door sedans stink. The roofline on them is such that it wrecks both the back seat and trunk access in most models. Watch someone try to get their kid into a car seat in the back of a modern sedan. Then watch them try to get the stroller into the mail slot t of a trunk opening. I would happily trade the 2 MPG at highway speed that shape may be giving me for trunk and rear seat accessibility of the sedans before this stupidity took over. I ask you, back in the day when Sedans were king, would any of them with the compromises of modern sedans have sold well? So why do we expect them to sell today? Make them usable for the target audience again and just maybe people will buy them. Keep them just as they are and they'll keep buying crossovers which might be the point.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X As much problems as I had with my '96 Chevy Impala SS.....I would love to try one again. I've seen a Dark Cherry Metallic one today and it looked great.
