It looks super clean! Leather interior (if factory) is seriously uncommon. The leather looks mint tho.

150k's ain't bad. You don't have a turbo to deal with when the kay's get higher either. :thumbsup:

I love the dibs, too. Hard to enforce though. :D

Do a revs check

Do a Japanese odometer history check

Ask questions about vehicle history, owners, why did it need a respray etc

check steering wheel, carpet, handbrake, sills etc for wear and tear. Those seats aren't factory, see if you can get a look under the leather covers, if they are covers.

Braided fuel lines? A few mods are questionable and need close inspection.

The car looks to have been touched all over. It looks amazing for sure. But sometimes this can be a sign that it has had a few 'dodgy' mods done.

Check the car with a fine tooth comb.

Best intro post ever. :thumbsup:

If you were fully serious (and one day intend to track).

Get a NA R34, then when the time comes.. 350Z brembos, RB30DET, Sequential Box, 2 Way LSD

Because even with a GT-t or GTS-t the factory brakes, gearbox, diff, motor end up in the bin when you get serious.

thanks everyone for your great advice. I'm so tempted to impulse buy just caus of the condition its in, but i reckon i'll just stick it out and wait for something with better value for money

But .... That leather... :wub:

LOL I got a leather set for mine - genuine SIII GTR's - had them restored and re-dyed/coloured etc and never fitted them. Got another set of velour GTR one and put then in and to this day can't make up my mind which ones to sell!!! prob never will...
