Hey guys I have recently purchased a series 1 r33 its got some toys already, coil overs, locked diff, a kill switch (dont know why) and the previous owner told me it had veen turbo previously but they removed it and and did a quick tune..

I am getting my full licence soon and am stuck with what turbo set up I should go with, naturally I dont want too much power seeing as it will be my first turbo car.. would really appreciate you input guys thanks :)

hello! welcome.

probs best to go with the standard turbo or a high flowed unit as good base to get used to the extra power... would hate for you to have an accident.
had a mate of mine go from N/A to a 320kw set up and totaled the car.. you guessed it.. no experience driving with that sort of power haha.

was the car factory turbo or N/A? finding out might be a good place to start. If was N/A, before you turbo it, it also might be a good idea to go around and change the brakes to standard turbo spec ones. youl thank yourself later for it.

best of luck with it

      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.
