Hey Cobain,

Being from NS, I know as well as you should to keep an eye out for rust or any recent body work. Especially with a NS car. When u take a look at it, check every panel for any signs of damage. For instance, I was checking a sc400 at an auction yard once, found the trunk panels a little loose and some pins missing. So, I took them off and took a peek behind. The left rear quarter panel looked rippled from the inside (must have had a lot of body filler on the outside). I also noticed a fair bit of rust formation surrounding the inner wheel arch. it wasn't until I shut the trunk that I noticed the lines of the panels had shifted and were not symmetrical with each side of the trunk. So thats something else u should definately be picky with, a good indication of its history the dealer might not want u to know.
I watched this sc sell for $7500, I would have paid 2 grand max knowing the damage that had been done. Good luck with the search, and keep an eye out for the 92 JDMs, they're here . . .
