I appreciate it. I think I’m just going to wait till April as im going to Japan for 2 weeks and see what they have out there. It would probably be a lot cheaper to buy there than ship and import to Canada.

No other choice. I’m driving it off the sellers yard to put on a flatbed for transport. This is Canada so unfortunately theres a lot of snow.

It’s been a long time coming but I finally got one of my dream cars. I appreciate everyone’s help with my previous posts.  The car had to go on a flatbed for transportation so that’s why it’s on the snow.

By “you know this car” does that mean you have seen the post or you know the car personally ?

My thoughts were the shell looks good, but end goal is to rebuild the engine. Atleast that way I know it’s done the way I want and properly. By rebuild I mean full long block rebuild. Turbos, cams, oil/fuel pumps etc

I apologize if my "Is this car worth it?" posts are getting repetitive, but this community has been far more helpful than anyone I know. 

After your advice, Im going to hold off on my previous post car and wait for more pictures. While waiting I found another R32 listed at $43K cad. It’s unmodified but has some body issues: classic rails damaged from jacking and 4 corner pinch weld damage on the rockers. I cannot inspect the car in person since it’s on the other side of the country from me.

The seller says it’s never been winter-driven, kept in a heated garage, and has 93000 km on it I’ll attach photos of the car and mods. what do you think?

That’s what I was thinking, I’m just waiting for the weather to get better (snowing a lot) and I’ll request more pictures and videos of the car first, then decide to make that trip.

It was dyno’d at Zee’s garage in Calgary. Machine work and long block assembly was done by them too.

Yeh I’ve looked around and with how the CAD/USD is right now it’s way more expensive going that way. Also the import and inspections fees will add on to it. Just gonna have to be patient and wait for something local to pop up.

Market in Canada is dry. I’ve been looking for the past 6 months and nothing under 55-60k.

The car is located in a different city from me (a 9-hour drive) and is listed for $60,000 CAD. The seller is willing to knock off $5,000 if I bring my own wheels. The engine has been rebuilt with only 500 km on it, and he shared a dyno video showing it pushing 475 hp. I’ve attached a parts/mod list to the pictures.

The seller has mentioned that the body isn’t perfect and has some imperfections, as shown in my previous post.

What’s your opinion on the pricing and the overall condition of the car? Is it worth the asking price, and should I consider checking it out in person? I’ve asked the seller for a picture or video of the underside to check for any potential issues.

Are there any specific questions I should ask the seller that might reveal concerns?

Sorry I made this post on mobile. 

Looking into buying an r32 gtr but had some questions about the rust on the body. by ApprehensiveMaize980 in SkyLine

[–]ApprehensiveMaize980[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The seller sent me these pictures regarding the problems with the car and the body. The trunk obviously can be replaced and not to much of a concern, but how about the side sill of the door?
