Nissan

Typical sold price of a Nissan ranges from $2,000 to $68,200, based on 84,338 sales tracked on Hypercars. 32,827 currently for sale.
Nissan Models
Nissan's journey into the collector market began under its original Datsun brand name. The Datsun 240Z reset expectations for sports cars in the early 1970s, offering stunning looks and solid performance at an affordable price. Other models like the 510 sedan built a reputation for the brand in enthusiast circles and on the track, creating a strong foundation for the performance cars that followed.
The brand's collectibility exploded with the arrival of its Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) icons from the 1990s. The Skyline GT-R, particularly the R32, R33, and R34 generations, achieved legendary status through motorsports and pop culture. As these cars became eligible for US import under the 25-year rule, values skyrocketed. Alongside the GT-R, tuner-friendly platforms like the Silvia (S13, S14, S15) and the technologically advanced 300ZX Twin Turbo have become highly desirable.
The Nissan market today is incredibly diverse, spanning from accessible Datsun roadsters to multi-million dollar GT-Rs. Early Z cars and 510s remain popular entry points into classic Japanese ownership. However, the market's center of gravity has shifted to the 90s halo cars, where low-mileage, unmodified examples of the Skyline GT-R and Silvia command significant premiums from a generation of buyers who grew up idolizing them.
Buying Tips
- Rust is a major concern on 1970s and 1980s models like the Datsun Z-cars and 510s. Check floor pans, rocker panels, battery trays, and around the front and rear glass.
- Many desirable models like the Silvia and Skyline GT-R are heavily modified. Scrutinize the quality of aftermarket parts and tuning, as returning a poorly modified car to stock can be expensive.
- For JDM imports, verify all importation and state titling paperwork is present and correct. A car without a legal title is a major risk.
- Check for common issues on specific powertrains, such as timing belt service on the VG30DETT in the 300ZX or the health of the turbos and ATTESA all-wheel-drive system on an RB26DETT-powered Skyline GT-R.
- Originality drives top values. Unmodified, well-documented cars are increasingly rare and command the highest prices, especially for hero models like the GT-R.
Prices span a massive range, from under $10,000 for projects to over $1,111,111 for ultra-rare models like the Nismo 400R.
