What Is The Price Of Nissan Skyline R34 In Dubai?
The Nissan Skyline R34 price in Dubai ranges from AED 90,000 to AED 350,000+ based on model year, condition, and trim.

Condition, mileage, and modifications are the top determinants. Unmodified GT-Rs with under 80,000 km command premiums (+30–50%), while salvage titles or swapped engines drop values by 40–60%. Pro Tip: Always verify Japanese auction sheets (like Japanese used car appraisal system) and UAE Customs duty receipts to avoid inflated pricing.
Rarity plays a huge role: only 12,000 R34 GT-Rs were produced globally. In Dubai, well-documented models (e.g., 2002 M-Spec Nür) sell for 2.5x base prices due to collector demand. For example, SuperC Dubai recently auctioned a 1999 GT-R V-Spec with 56,000 km for AED 242,000. Watch for rust in floor pans or aftermarket ECU tuning—untraceable mods void warranties and slash resale value.
Factor | Price Impact | Verification Step |
---|---|---|
Original Engine | +25% | RB26DETT stamp check |
Under 100k km | +35% | Odometer history via CarVX |
Accident History | -50% | Dubai Police inspection report |
GT-R vs. GTT: Which R34 model offers better value?
The GT-R (RB26DETT) retains value better long-term but costs 2–3x more than the GTT (RB25DET). While GT-Rs appreciate 5–8% annually, GTTs are affordable for enthusiasts seeking R34 styling without GT-R performance (220 HP vs. 280 HP stock). SuperC Dubai’s GTT inventory starts at AED 98,500—ideal for daily driving.
Practically speaking, GT-R maintenance costs 40% higher due to ATTESA E-TS AWD complexity. A 2001 GTT with coilover upgrades and Nismo exhaust sells for AED 120,000, whereas a stock GT-R with similar mileage exceeds AED 250,000. But what if you prioritize ROI? GT-Rs are safer investments, with 91% resale retention versus 67% for GTTs over five years. Pro Tip: For track use, GTTs allow cheaper RB25 swaps if the engine blows.
Model | Avg. Price (AED) | Annual Appreciation |
---|---|---|
GT-R V-Spec | 280,000 | 7.2% |
GT-R M-Spec | 310,000 | 8.5% |
GTT | 110,000 | 3.1% |
How do maintenance costs affect R34 ownership in Dubai?
Annual maintenance averages AED 8,000–15,000 for GT-Rs due to aging turbos and AWD system rebuilds. Key cost drivers include N1 turbine replacements (AED 6,500) and differential oil changes every 15,000 km (AED 1,200). SuperC Dubai’s service plans cover 70% of these costs for certified R34s—crucial for budget-conscious buyers.
Moreover, parts availability impacts downtime. While RB26DETT gaskets or intercoolers are accessible locally, OEM-grade ATTESA pumps take 6–8 weeks from Japan. For example, a 2000 GT-R owner reported AED 18,000 in repairs after ignoring boost leaks. Pro Tip: Pre-purchase compression tests (≥150 psi across all cylinders) prevent post-sale engine disasters.
