Same thing ? :O

For Tristan:

How to properly repair rust, something which whoever did the dodgy-ass job on your 180 should take note of (Note: not the job Dave did last weekend, that shit is legit. I am talking about whoever did the original abortion). Bought to you by Garage 31.

Step 1: Actually remove all the rust.

Step 2: Apply paint. For best results, this should be the same colour as the original paint and done by someone who knows what they are doing. But at the very least paint it with something, to prevent MORE rust.

Step 3: Profit.

Result:

Big thanks to Dan for coming and doing the major bits of painting last night!

After lunch, all the panels will be going back on. Then its a trip to the paint shop tomorrow to try and sort out the dodgy ones...

agreed - grinding back, and exposing the rust - and not treating it at all is a piss weak effort, much can be said about such questionable workmanship

however,

another thought for rust (not removal, but maybe containing?) is when u have a small amount of rust from where the paint cracked when u rolled your guards - simply cover it with some clear nail polish - and it will contain it, until u are ready to remove it and fix it correctly (usually done when car is re-sprayed)

i am going to do this once it stops raining and it is dry ;)

the job you've done in the pics looks quality mang!

ps, also ordered some epic headlights - hopefully ill actaully be able to see more than 10metres in front of me hahahha

Yep, I've been busy fixing all the rust from guard rolling too. I sand the rust off, and then hit it with touch up paint.

But good call on the nail polish, that should stop it rusting at all if you apply it as soon as the paint starts to crack.

im going to dodge the f**k out of you

    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
