The Gran Turismo Turbo is the enthusiast's pick, offering genuine performance in a luxurious package. The Y34 is still undervalued compared to its Skyline cousins, making it an excellent value proposition. Check the automatic transmission for slipping or delayed engagement. Verify all electronic systems function correctly, particularly the suspension and climate control. Low-mileage examples are available from Japan but inspect for typical elderly-owner neglect (flat spots on tires, deteriorated fluids). The Y34 is a comfortable, fast, and refined JDM sedan.
