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

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
