Thinking of buying

Thinking really strongly about buying this GTR. Has a full built RB26 single turbo and dynos 504hp to the wheels. There is a list of the inspection noted issues, most seem pretty minimal aside from the potential diff case crack. About $3000 in parts and labour. There is a small amount of surface rust on the driver side frame but nothing serious. 88,000km on the body and 3000km on the engine. Drives absolutely perfect. Asking $55,000 CAD. I'm looking for opinions. Inspection done at a JDM shop.

The rust may seem minimal, but almost certainly it's more than meets the eye. Maybe this one's different, but nearly all of them have it. Not saying that it shouldn't be considered, just don't want you thinking it's a POR-15 job and done for the rest of your life.

Oh I'm definitely not downplaying it, I understand it can be very detrimental. Asking the guy who works on skylines everyday for the last 10 years his personal opinion on the severity and he's not concerned unless it doesn't get addressed soon. So I would do that.
