Midnight Purple 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Might Be the World's Sexiest JDM Sports Car

Personally, I could have given the R35 the edge in terms of overall road presence, but I never found its front-end design all that appealing from certain angles. The rear end looks great on the R35, but the front could use some work, and it’s mostly because of how they integrated those headlights into the fascia.

Anyway, let’s get back to the R34 because we just found an absolutely stunning example, getting auctioned off to the highest bidder. It’s chassis no. 128 of 198, and it’s still wearing its factory-standard Midnight Purple III colorway, which takes on various shades of purple depending on the angle in which the light hits the car.

It kind of looks like one of those Hot Wheels toy cars that changes color whenever exposed to water. I think you literally can’t do any better than Midnight Purple III on an R34.

Now, while the paint might be original, there are some modifications worth mentioning, although rest assured that they’ve all been tastefully selected.

This R34 comes with an aftermarket carbon fiber front spoiler and canards, side skirts, rear bumper extensions, tinted turn signal lenses, clear corner markers, a silver rear wing insert, black-finished Nismo-style fender arch trim, a V-Spec-branded rear bumper, Nismo carbon fiber B-pillar covers, xenon headlights, and a rear wiper.

As for those black wheels, they measure 18-inches in diameter and are wearing 245/40 Nexen N7000 Plus tires, to go with the gold-painted Brembo calipers.

Moving on to the interior, you can obviously see that this is a right-hand drive car, which might be a turn off for a lot of people, but JDM aficionados will love it either way. Here, highlights include the gray cloth sports seats, power windows and mirrors, automatic climate control, a Sony stereo, a carbon fiber-like dash cover, a Blitz boost controller, HKS turbo timer, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the replacement Nismo white-dial instrumentation.

There’s also a custom display mounted in the center of the dashboard for additional information. Speaking of information, the digital odometer indicates approximately 91,000 miles, all added by the current seller. Unfortunately, total mileage is unknown.

Last, but certainly not least, the engine. It is a 24-valve twin turbocharged 2.6-liter inline-six with individual throttle bodies, dual overhead camshafts, and an aluminum radiator. It powers all four wheels with the help of a six-speed manual gearbox, working alongside the ATTESA all-wheel drive system. There’s also an aftermarket exhaust present, which is something you could have bet money on.
