Well I am moving to QLD in July, finally taking the step.

Odds are I will be staying in Brisbane with family friends until I find a job that will pay sufficiently for me to cover my costs.

I drive an A31 cefiro and will be taking this car over with me when I come.

Question is, would anyone be able to assist me in getting any work in either brisbane or goldcoast. I am willing to do anything work wise(within reason).

Look forward to meeting you guys when I am over

Queensland is the best state in Australia full stop :) I made the move in December from Victoria (eek), and haven't looked back!

Can be hard to find work when you first move up, and I'll admit i was unemployed for about 2 months, but if you're keen and speak to enough people eventually you'll find something. It all works out in the end.

Is it just to be near me? *flutters eyelashes*

Oh and I do believe previous threads have reached the conclusion that a cefiro is _NOT_ a skyline. And now you know.

Its ok summoner, I'm on your side. *random glares at other people*

I'll give the cefiro a go in brutis. He's tasted nissan blood and wants more. (course, he got whupped, but thats hardly the point)

Andrew, old brutis got beaten by a sigma.... :)

But yeah, if you a forklift ticket, you shouldnt have too many probs getting something over here.

A 2.6L sigma with a turbo the size of a small african nation strapped onto it! Damn thing took 4 strong black men to lift into the car and the careful whipping and direction of a trained midget to get it all lined up and even fit in the car!

... And as a conclusion, your honour, I draw your attention to said sigma the very next week with a blown engine whereas Brutis (exhibit A) is still going strongly many months later. I have no further questions your honour, and rest my case. *sits down to applauding*

You were alone most of today weren't you?

Welcome Mark! It'll be great to finally meet you after many years of internet chatting :)

      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.
