I hate to rain on his parade, but there was no LSD available for the '83 turbo. Nissan didn't put LSD's into the Z cars until 1987 in the 300ZX turbo.
The only thing I can see custom in the interior is the speakers cut into the doors, the dash cap to cover the cracks that I assume are there and the shift **** and steering wheel and it looks like his glove box door is broken off unless that's part of the custom interior...
I'm curious why the builder used a T3 turbo. They run out of steam at about 12 psi on these cars.
Where that roll bar is mounted is also curious, since there is only light sheet metal on the floor where the center bars appear to be mounted and it doesn't look like it's tied into the shock towers so it's not really helping the rigidity of the unibody either.
I would also be concerned about the stated mileage. I assume that's the mileage since the build, but the chassis mileage will tell a lot about the car as well.
If the car was built 10 years ago, why does it only have 2000 miles on it? Trouble keeping it running? If it was stored for a long time with no mileage or only sporadically driven, then that will affect the rest of the systems.
If it was built recently, I'd want to know by whom and see the records for the work.
I would look that car over with a fine tooth comb before dropping the kind of money he's asking.
