The Nissan Skyline — and above all the GT-R — is the JDM icon by which every other is measured. The R32, R33 and R34 GT-R share the legendary RB26DETT twin-turbo straight-six and ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive, and worldwide demand keeps climbing. As a licensed proxy buyer with direct access to 120+ Japanese auction houses, KMT Global finds you the exact Skyline you want, verifies its condition, and manages the purchase and export end to end.

You don’t need us to have one in stock. Tell us the generation and grade — GT-R, or the more attainable GTS-t / GT-T turbo — and we bid on your behalf at true wholesale auction prices, no dealer markups, no hidden margins.

Which Skyline to import

The performance generations are the R32 (1989–1994), R33 (1993–1998) and R34 (1999–2002). The halo model in each is the GT-R, powered by the 2.6-litre RB26DETT twin-turbo with ATTESA E-TS AWD and, on the R34, a 6-speed Getrag manual — the drivetrain most buyers want.

If a genuine GT-R is beyond budget, the RB20DET / RB25DET turbo cars — the GTS-t (R32) and GT-T (R34) — are rear-wheel-drive single-turbo Skylines that look the part and tune well for far less. We confirm the exact grade and chassis code at auction before bidding, so you get the car you’re paying for.

Importing a Skyline to your country

For the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia the Skyline is right-hand drive from the factory and fits RHD markets directly — there is no age restriction in the UK or Ireland.

For the United States the 25-year rule applies: the R32 GT-R (1989 onward) is eligible now, the R33 has become eligible, and the R34 passed the threshold from 2024 by model year. Tell us the exact year and we’ll confirm its status before you commit.

Wherever you are, we handle the auction purchase, export documentation, de-registration and shipping, and walk you through what to expect at your end.

What it costs

Genuine GT-Rs — especially clean, unmodified R34s — are now collector cars and prices vary widely with grade, mileage and originality; GTS-t / GT-T turbo cars are far more attainable. Tell us your budget and we’ll show you recent sold data and a realistic target range before you commit.
