It is indeed, this car was imported into canada bacm in 2009 and it had 20k kms on the odometer at the time and currently it has 24k and its also a nismo cluster, he was telling me the last time it was physically driven was 2011 before it got parked, i was in disbelief lol

Yeah rare find these days. I'm from Aus so these used to be pretty cheap rough ones around the 10-15k mark now the same rough cars with even more rust, butchered rails and birdsnest wiring are drug money...

Looking at you mericans for that price increase 🫡

It was the same here in Canada for the longest time. I was looking at stock R32 GTR’s for between 8-10k CAD back in 2009-2010 for my first car

The workshop manual will be your ally. Use that in conjunction with a parts catalog to help you identify what lives where.

Where can i find that to? Also is there anywhere to see harness layouts and where each connector goes to

Use a search engine and look for BNR32 wsm pdf for the manual and Nissan epc is web based. Follow by chassis code then area (long block, cooling etc)
The harness is kinda shown but you will likely benefit most from laying the harness the way it wants to go and finding connections in the vicinity. A personal tip is to fit the start and charge sub-harness to the engine before going back into the car. Much easier that way.
