• Nissan built just 285 examples of the Skyline GT-R M-Spec Nür.
  • GT-R is upgraded with a 500 hp Nismo R2 performance engine.
  • The seller imported the sports car to the States in late 2025.

Once a cult favorite among JDM purists, the R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R has now crossed into full-blown collector territory. Need proof? One just sold for more than the going rate for some used Ferrari SF90 Stradales, cementing its status not only as an icon, but as serious financial property. Yes, certain Nissans are officially commanding supercar prices.

Values for rare R34 GT-R models have been climbing steadily for more than a decade, with the most coveted examples now trading hands for eye-watering sums. Near the top of that list sits the M-Spec Nür. Just 285 were built, making it one of the rarest production variants of the R34.

In the United States, for now, they’re eligible only under Show or Display regulations, which limits how often they can be driven and makes sightings even rarer. That restriction, however, lifts once these cars hit 25 years of age, meaning full legality is just around the corner for early-build models.

Earlier this week, the 2002 example you see here was listed up for auction through Bring a Trailer and sold for $442,000. This isn’t just one of the highest known sales prices of an M-Spec Nür, but it sold for this handsome sum despite having roughly 37,000 miles or 60,000 km under its belt.

Evidently, R34 GT-Rs like this are hugely desirable collector’s cars, regardless of how many miles they’ve been driven.

Nissan made a slew of upgrades to the M-Spec Nür to make it stand out from lesser GT-R versions. For example, it includes a new head gasket, modified camshafts, a new ECU, a larger aluminum radiator, upgraded intercooler, new air intake, and beefed-up engine mounts, alongside an auxiliary oil cooler.

What pushes this example even further up the desirability ladder is the engine swap. It’s been fitted with a Nissan R2 engine, a more serious evolution of the Skyline’s factory RB26DETT, reputed to produce north of 500 horsepower. According to the seller, the R2 was installed just 15,000 kilometers or 9,300 miles ago, suggesting plenty of life left in its performance potential.

A look inside the cabin reveals the car retains the original M-Spec front bucket seats trimmed in black leather. It has also been updated with a modern Eclipse head unit and looks to have been well cared for over the years.

The car is finished in Millenium Jade, arguably the most collectible color offered on the R34, and a key reason for its visual and market appeal.

What happens next is anyone’s guess. Back in early 2023, another Millenium Jade M-Spec Nür sold on the same auction platform for $455,000. That car brought in slightly more, which could suggest the top of the curve has been reached, at least for now.

Still, given how few of these cars exist and how desirable they’ve become, few would bet on prices dropping anytime soon.
