The GT-R was never sold in the US for 2 reasons - economics - and the US had the 300ZX.

Z had a long standing history in the US. Nissan didnt need another twin turbo car cluttering their lineup in the US.

Economics - R32 GT-R's were expensive - R33's - R34's.... Insurance would have been a problem - they would not have sold enough cars to offset the costs of legalization...

USA market likes Mustangs............and trucks , SUV's
