General info
The engine runs great with impressive fuel mileage, impressively smooth operation and quiet too. I have been driving the car every chance i get and i can say its quite nice. The car as a whole is extremely solid, brakes well, turns well, accelerates well. The car has no typical upgrades so its as OEM as you can get, every system functions as it should, including a/c, horn, lights, wiper, power windows, mirrors etc.
Body and paint,
The body has a few minor dents and blemishes, paint is in decent condition with a few rust and rot spot as seen in the pictures.But generally,the rest of the body is in great shape.
Interior,
All OEM, no visible damage to any panels etc, the dash is perfect, door cards as well but the fabric inserts are detached in a few spots(can be re-glued) seats are perfect with the expected fading and very comfortable The carpet is in great shape, floor mats as well. Headliner is clean and in perfect condition.
Suspension,Wheels,
Currently sits on a set of SSR SP1 Professors Wheels (17x7+37 offsets), Tein coil overs and OEM control arms, still rides and functions well, no creaks or un-expected noises, it has the 4 lug hubs-(and non lsd diff) etc.
Cons
The car is not perfect and has a few issues- Rust and rot spots, right rear window does not work at the moment but i will be checking it out, left rear door and fender has a small amount of damage, Left front fender has a rot spot, left Rear rocker panel at wheel well has rot and wheel arch has a few rust spots. See pictures.
Perfect car for Rural Mail delivery or RB25/26/SR20/LS series/JZ engine swap with the wiring specialties Universal engine harness.
Please contact me with any questions or request for more info about the car.

I’m not up to date on these things but seems like a good value for what you’re getting. NP

I did not know this was a thing, anywhere, like EVER.
Someone gift me some money..with some extra to cover new wheels.

I saw one in the wild a few weeks ago. May have been this one, but the front bumper was off:

Otherwise very nice but it has the worst engine option. I would rather have one with the puny CA18i.

I’ve seen 2 other cars Japanese Classics have sold (I’m near Richmond, so not totally unexpected), but they were just JDM versions of cars that were sold here, a Fairlady Z32 and an S13 Silvia. Still haven’t seen an R32.
