The Nissan Skyline R34 is arguably the most legendary Skyline GT-R in history. The R34 in particular seemed to give birth to the new millennium. Its computer system felt like something straight of a Playstation gaming system. The bonnet on select editions was made from carbon fibre. It had an LCD screen which showed the driver statistics about engine performance and turbocharger pressure.

A little know fact about the R34 GT-R is that Nissan actually under-quoted the kilowatt output. At the time, there was a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese automakers. It stated that cars on sale to the public should not exceed 206kW. And so Nissan altered the marketing materials to match that.
Sources close to Nissan though, say the actual output was more like 243kW.
That means the R34 GT-R could be the only car in recorded history where the manufacturer understated the numbers. Instead of inflating them.
Illegal in the USA ?
For 2 big reasons: First being due to emissions and second being, police cars just cant catch it
Price:
The modern Nissan GT-R's asking price is upwards of $170,000. And its replacement, when it eventually arrives, is likely to cost even more. By compassion, a secondhand R34 GT-R is practically a steal.
