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.

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 馃槢 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
