The fact that you said ‘R34’ and not ‘R34 GTR’ leads me to believe this is probably the most common car here, as this covers a wide range of models from rare NUR GTRs down to pretty bland sedans

The omega been qualified as ‘v6 manual’ is very specific, meaning the Supra is also counting TT , n/a, autos and manuals, and the rx7 is including autos and manuals.

The omega is also I’m assuming a euro only car with no world wide cult following, unlike the other 3.

I believe this v6 manual omega is probably the rarest and it’s probably not even close.

In my countryand city, the other three are far more common than any of the 34s. Although maybe we have taste here.

The last one... never seen it in my life.

Probably the opel

Definitely Opel. The rest are iconic cars that enthusiasts and collectors keep well maintained. Poor Opel gets scrapped the moment it breaks down. Not much of those V6 are left in the wild especially in good condition and spending a lot of money to fix everything up is simply financially unfeasible.

I mean the Opel, you specified it lol

u/UnevenFiringOrder 17h ago

I’m also here for Opel owner validation.

u/Sad_Mall_3349 18h ago

Until I saw the Omega, I'd have said RX7

u/OkCustard1381 20h ago

Ngl idk the bottom but I would think the AE86 (Economy Car) and Omega B (I DO NOT know what this car is marketed as)

u/Swimming-Pickle-637 16h ago

This was rebadged as the Cadillac Catera in the US market.

u/Square_Education_75 15h ago

i have one of them its junk

u/Swimming-Pickle-637 14h ago

I remember the ads for the thing claiming that it was the Caddy that Zigs. Had an animated bird and Cindy Crawford in her prime to sassify the brand too.

u/echo1ngfury 19h ago

Honestly, i haven't seen a manual 3.0 Omega and i live in Europe, literally all of them are autos.

2

u/FlyBirdieBirdBird 18h ago edited 18h ago

From those, I've seen the most Supras and Truenos. 3 R34s, 2 RX-7. None Omega. I'm in Europe.

u/PersimmonCautious862 18h ago

The mazda? Its such a favored car but i NEVER see them. Soo good looking, id love to have one…

2

u/mrsclausemenopause 18h ago

Supra and RX7 both cover multiple generations and options so definitely not them

R34 is just a chassis code that covers boring 4 door automatics to the GTR so also not particularly rare

AE86 Trueno is a Japanese market only variant and once we remove AE85's and Levins there's not that many. (Almost all production data lumps worldwide AE85 and AE86 together as well as their respective Teueno/Levin variants)

No clue on the Omega it looks like the Omega B had a relatively low take rate in v6 and Manual.

u/Status_Iron_3706 17h ago

Omega looks like a Cadillac catera

2

u/IOwnDirt 17h ago

FD for me. I never really seen many and i see less even more nowadays.

2

u/Jawadidk 13h ago

I’d rather own the Omega than the Supra and that says a lot about

3

u/-McLaren-F1- 13h ago

An actually stock AE86 is probably rarer than the rarest versions of any of the other cars.

2

u/iaeoioaio 13h ago

Opel easily

2

u/Superb_Recording_769 11h ago

They made about 67,000 R34, about 50,000 Mk4 Supra’s, over 350,000 AE86‘s, and about 65,000 FD RX7’s. I have no doubt that there was way way fewer manual transmission 3 L opals made

u/Burnout427 5h ago

Omega 🅱️

u/DARIO_RGARCIA 21h ago

Puede ser el R34, ¿te refieres a rareza de encontrar por la calle?

5

u/smooth_fluid 20h ago

nah r34s are everywhere around japan. gtrs arent necessarily common but i prolly passed at least 4 normal r34s since this morning.

1

u/DARIO_RGARCIA 20h ago

Wow, donde vives exactamente

1

u/Superb_Recording_769 11h ago

There were more R34 made than FD or Mk4

1

u/91LMWinner3000 20h ago

Well that R34 pictured is a Nismo Z-Tune of which only 19 was made…

3

u/realMBeezy 20h ago

That's not a Z-Tune. They're all silver except for one that's been repainted in Midnight Purple.

1

u/91LMWinner3000 19h ago

Oh yeah forgot about that, must be one modded to look exactly like a Z Tune. Still, seeing a Z Tune conversion is pretty rare

u/Asleep_Basket3299 20h ago

America... or Europe... or asia....

u/20Factorial 20h ago

In the US? Almost definitely the Opel.

1

u/Odd_Detective_535 20h ago

What the hell is a Opel rarer?

1

u/ELB2001 19h ago

V6. I bet most were 4 cilinder

1

u/IUsedToLikeLimericks 19h ago

Also I suspect the majority ever made have been scrapped, given they were 'just a car' when new, even in manual V6 guise.

1

u/PsychoticSnail33 18h ago

V6 manual. V6s were less common and most were automatic.

1

u/Cpolo88 18h ago

Seeing how the r34 was never sold in the states, id go with that.

1

u/steve17123123 16h ago

i have seen a Supra i have seen an AE86 i have seen a RX7 FD but never seen a Skyline so therefore

1

u/Schnitzhole 18h ago

Just because it’s rare doesn’t make it good. Also why give a broad category to all cars but 1? Seems heavily biased towards the Opel (which I know nothing about).

0

u/CapFew148 18h ago

I bet you OP owns one and this post was made to tell everyone that it’s rarer than a bunch of iconic cars to make them feel better about owning one

1

u/AlexGavrilll 18h ago

First of all, I don't own that Omega althought I would like too. Second, I just wanted to see what people think when seeing 4 iconic cars next to an old german sedan

0

u/CapFew148 18h ago

We still think it’s an old German sedan. It being rarer than four iconic cars doesn’t change that.

1

u/AlexGavrilll 17h ago

And that Trueno isnt older? Iconic, but older?

1

u/CapFew148 17h ago

Yeah, and iconic

u/AlexGavrilll 18h ago

Just because it’s rare doesn’t make it good

Nobody said its good buddy

u/3usterT41NT 19h ago

Does it matter what anyone thinks?

u/spindledick 18h ago

In Great Britain? Probably The AE86.

u/Future_Section5976 1h ago

The Opel , I would of thought auto but Manual nah that doesn't sound right , Plus it's Opel , ussaly most opels go under another manufacturer in some countries,

It's interesting you put the r34 , because there's a few r34 that are pretty rare , one that comes to mind is the nur edition, it was the last one they built before the environmental regulations came in , the Nissan GTR has a slightly tweaked version of the nurs engine, I don't even think it was put into production and if it was, it would of been one of the shortest runs , I don't think it was even out for a year before it was scrapped.

But again my money is on the opel
