Another Pom just goes to prove all the cool skylines are in Aus..

Looks tuff, I dont reckon it needs a kit or paint job, 400hp is always good but :(

Dont listen to RBNT or you'll end up with a diesel engine in it

EDIT...

They are not called pickups, they are utes or forbys aiight. :(

I remember paying a fortune for fuel over there in 2000. It was a bit over a pound a litre, which was around $3aud. Fark we went through some coin, lucky we were driving an astra lol. Are you up north or down around the sth coast?

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?

      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.

      '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.
