Rust!

[GTR-N1]

WHAT THE FUUUUUU!!! That's like buying another GTS-T...

What about fish oil or rust dissolver? Would they work?

I think rust is one of the most underrated problems with Skylines.

This is the cheapest way - and probably the most satisfying...

BTW Alfa Romeos always had a reputation of being worse - much worse.

But cars in the salted roads of USA are just as bad.

Cars in provinces of Canada where they use nail impregnated tyres aren't so bad

nope. if I added a set of floor panels at $3k then it would be a part car.

given your thinking on the amount I posted earlier you would still end up with a rust bucket.

rust dissolver - not in the case of these cars.

Chris, if you haven't bought sills yet, have a look at RHD Japan.

I'm allmost certain I saw RHS and LHS for $253.00 Each.

Rust in mine is minimal so far, If i pull the seals out will that give me more of an idea if its gotten into the window area ?

[Chris Rogers]

yes BUT, the lower sills are 4 pieces. I have bought them and they were that price locally. the window areas are a different matter and I would look at it VERY well before pulling it apart. some things require removing a LOT of stuff (and we are talking sheetmetal here.) to access them.

questions , pop past and have a squiz at mine.

Depends on the amount of rust. If its just a little bit of surface rust then just wire wheel the area and use rust converter however if it's rusted through it will need to be either have the holes welded up or a new patch welded in. Fish oil/ rust proofing will only help prevent rust not stop it. I fixed the rust in my R32 2 weekends ago took me a whole weekend to do but lucky i am a panel beater so i had a workshop full of the right equipment to fix it properly and then got the painter to paint it during the week for me. I had to weld new patches in the inner and outer wheel arches

My rust was cause by the old owner in Japan putting on to big of a tyre and hit a bump and dragged the wheel arch down. It would of been an easy fix for him to get done but he must of left it like that for about 10 years for it to rust as bad as it was but is all fixed now and the car looks great with all the rust gone

[Chris Rogers]

same with mine. though I think it had a fairly rough life overall. yet to peel the guards off mine. drivers is definitely going as the rear lower area is pretty much shot.

+1 fpr RHD japan. I got qouted around the 1k mark for front and rear window mouldings and seals.

I just picked up the front one for about 200 bucks. Gonna put a generic on for the rear window when it gets put back in. Very helpful guys to with fast shipping

[Chris Rogers]

I must be on a different pricing tier to you locally then.

I do not pay anywhere near that. as for RHD japan, I deal with nissan japan on a lot of my stuff. shipping is the only issue on BIG stuff as that sits on a boat for 6-8 weeks.
