Spotted Silver R32 GTR in City West Carpark. I love hammering it through there, setting off alarms.

Ha ha that was me and I agree! I got stuck in there the night before - didn't realise they shut it all up at 9!! That was some expensive parking!

Yeh I thought it might be you. Nice ride, first time I have seen it. I am keen as to meet all you SAU tragics once my ride gets through the f**kwit circus (RTA Dickson). What did they Charge you? I got stuck in there with a flat battery once after paying for parking and had to pay again to get my car out and pay for the parking of friend who came in for 5min to jump start me. Robbery!

Good to see you were as frustrated as i was with other drivers on that road, sorry for the fly by i wasnt trying to be an idiot just letting everyone know they were driving to slow for that road.

    • 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.
