Hey guys.

My cars getting older and I just want to look into some ways of safe guarding it against rust. Better to be safe than sorry.

Has anyone heard of ERPS (http://www.erps.com.au)? Looks to be an intresting way of preventing rust from occuring... What do you guys think or reccomend?

Sounds like a load of bullshit to me.

For 30yrs my family has had a holiday house right on the GOR.

10yr old cars, 25yr old boat/trailer etc. They live every day in the sea air, get wet all the time - all are fine. Not a iota of rust on them.

As long as you wash the car, look after it and if any paint chips off to metal - get it fixed - then you won't get rush issues to be honest.

Rust won't get in if you repair any damage etc.

Even my GTSR while it was getting the body work done, only had rush in the area's that had damage associated.

All other area's were 100% rust free. And that's a 25yo car.

yeah most cars are built pretty well from better materials that dont rust as easily these days,

make sure u keep it free of dirt and leaves building up in crevices , keep it waxed. Ct20 truck wash is great stuff as well,

i still find suspension parts tend to rust up over time though, not sure how to solve that.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
