Are Skylines still rare?

So when I first purchased my R34 GTR in Jan 05 I knew I was buying a car of high calibre, however I wasn't quite ready for the huge amount of attention the car would bring....

Literally 15mins after picking the skyline up from the dealer I had a van pull up alongside me on the M25 giving me the thumbs up! 2 miles later a ferrari tailed me for a couple of junctions and then after parking in town a swarm of kids surrounded the car with their mobile phone cameras clicking away.....(no exaggeration) The months that followed meant I could never leave a shell forecourt without someone coming over for a chat or passing through the town centre without a few waves or beeps. Did I care? No not really.

So is that still the case? I wondered if any of that cult following around the skyline was fading or if it was actually getting stronger. I must admit I still hardly ever see another skyline on the road let alone another R34. There really is nothing else which I have driven which feels as good or looks as good in my opinion.
