Odo readings and actual Km's may not be the same. But for general wear there are a few things you should look at that will give you a much better overall condition of the car.

Check Dash vinyl isnt bubbling excessively

Steering wheel isnt excessively worn

Rubbers on Brake and clutch pedals arent badly worn

some tend to rust around the rear quarters and rear windscreen

Also check the condtion of the drivers seat.

I tend to assume when I see a Skyline that has both Aftermarket steering wheel and drivers seat- that this car would be a higher mileage unit.

It'll be nice to get one without rust.

If it's from the north island of Hokkaido (with salted roads in winter) it'll have rust.

welcome to sau! refer to the link below for common issues with r32s (rust spots etc)

There are a few things to look for in any car- make sure the machanics are running fine, check if it has been hit hard (most have), Km (anything under 150km is bs, so make sure estimate wat they actually are), bushes are really common to stuffed but most are rwc items (and expensive)
