Every Japanese manufacturer worth their salt was coming out with supercar rivalling Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) sports car. Japan in the 90s was the place to be for a sports car. The main reason why these cars from the land of the rising sun are selling for stratospheric prices is simple - nostalgia. Why do these JDM machines from days past make crazy money today?

Remembering that the latest 2020 A90 Toyota Supra is selling only for nearly RM 600k and comes with all the modern technology, a full warranty and most significantly is not a 20 something year old car.

This is not even mentioning the auction record for one of these 2JZ monsters of $176,000 (RM 751,000) for a 70k mile, black-on-black 1997 15th Anniversary targa top manual example. Another example of how crazy the retro JDM market has become is to look at the selling prices of manual A80 Toyota Supras.Ĭlean examples of the A80 Supra are changing hands on the market for close to $80,000 (RM 340,000), with some extremely clean ones selling for nearly $130,000 (RM 555,000). The record for the most expensive R34 to be sold was a 10 mile white R34 V-Spec Nür example that fetched 32,000,000 yen (RM 1.3 million) at the Tokyo Auto Salon BH Auction in 2018.Īnd it’s not just the GT-Rs that are fetching crazy money these days, other retro Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars are fetching sky high prices too. That by the way, is not even remotely the most expensive R34 GT-R to be sold at auction. The V-Spec trim level was only sold for one year in 1999 alongside the base trim GT-R, making this particular example a rare car indeed. Painted in Midnight Purple III, only 132 from a total of 4139 V-Spec GT-Rs rolled off the production line in this fan favourite colour. Selling for 15,105,000 yen (RM602,000), this 20 year old Japanese sports car is now the world’s most expensive V-Spec GT-R to be sold at auction.ĭespite having stratospheric milage at 65,000 km compared to other auction records, this particular R34 managed this record setting price mainly because of its colour. The JDM bubble doesn’t look like it is going to pop anytime soon.Ī Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec has just broken an auction record. By Joshua Chin 0 90s JDM Retro Cool Is Now Worth A Pretty Penny
