    How much is this JDM unicorn worth to you?

    Back in 2002 the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nür Edition was an amazing vehicle capable of slaying some of the best supercars from Europe at the time.

    While the Nismo-built N1 and Z-tune models are faster, rarer, and arguably more collectable, the chance to buy a R34 Nür with only 10km from new saw at least two punters willing to shell out over $365,000 ($290,000 USD) to snare the white monster.

    The auction happened during the 2018 Tokyo Auto Salon tuning show on January 12, and it has set social media on fire as to whether a car with only 10km is worth three-times (300%) more than a similar car with around 100,000km.

    As one of the hottest cars of the JDM Turbo Era R34 GT-Rs have been skyrocketing in prices of late and we are looking at the building of a shift in the collector car market from '50s and '60s classics to '80s and '90s rides.
