my wishlist

3" Split dump/front pipe

Hi flow cat

3" catback

AFC neo

SITC if i can find one

get my R33 GTR wheels fixed up, and painted/powdercoated black

possibly get the lowered shocks from SK

and maybe an R34 GTT cooler, or a FMIC with custom pipes

audio wise, its actually awesome, will throw out the non working TV and Nav system, and buy an in dash DVD.

body is good, just gonna give it a nice cut and polish every now and then, and look after the leather.

had the car less than a month (work car) and have done;

* R34 SMIC $80

* metal intake pipe mod $0

* Stock Boost control earth $0

* JJR split stainless front & dump pipe $250

* trans cooler $109

to go;

* shift kit

* cat back exhaust

* some sort of fuel and timing control

* suspension bits.

* air deflector

* ross damper (it's 2kg lighter)

* custom made alloy pulleys for water pump, alternator & power steering.

* timing belt overhaul and a exhaust cam pulley (cams at same time?)

* 16 inch thermo fan

maybe later;

* larger turbo and supporting bits for fuel (nothing too huge).

* cams

* RB30 conversion (have the engine parts lying around)

OR I'll just move onto another GTR by then (be cheaper,go faster)

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
