1998 Nissan Skyline GTT R34

Highlights

• Rare Lightning Yellow livery
• Imported from Japan in 2008
• In current ownership for 13 years; only the second UK registered keeper
• Reportedly never tracked or drifted

The Appeal

The R34 Skyline GTT is one of the most coveted Japanese performance cars of its era, pairing the legendary RB25DET inline-six with rear-wheel drive in a package that rewards keen drivers. Lightning Yellow is among the rarest colours offered on the R34, lending this example a striking presence that sets it apart from the more commonly seen silvers and whites.

This particular car has been in the hands of its current registered keeper for 13 years — a mature owner who has treated it with care throughout. The factory Altia body kit in plastic, Nismo carbon pillar covers, and 19-inch Cruze wheels give it a purposeful but tasteful appearance, while the vendor reports the bodywork is free from dings, dents, and scratches.

Under the bonnet, the car has been thoughtfully developed with a Turbotechnics hybrid turbo fitted by Horsham Developments, a Japspeed intercooler, HKS exhaust, and a Nistune ECU remap. Maintenance has been diligent, with oil changed annually and recent work including a new HKS cambelt and pulleys, water pump, and NGK Iridium spark plugs. With an MOT valid until June 2027, it's now ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
