thanks so much Josh.

 

I think the exchange of a petrol tank might be fairly easy for a mechanic  but its the traps for those not familar with this car is my concern and how they put existing parts back together.

Hopefully I may get a reply or two.

 

 

Two Turbo swaps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that doesn't sound good. how many km did each do.

I am just on 150K with original turbo

What was price labour ,if you don't mind me asking?

Cost me $500 to swap turbos. My original blew seals so i sourced another stock in GC to replace it. The one i got that was told was in GC was definitely not so ended up sending the one i pulled out to Hypergear for highflow. Then had the highflow installed so thats why i did it twice

Anyone will be able to swap out a fuel tank unless they are completely brainless. Don't forget to  help by running your fuel low! And depending on mileage it would be a good time to fit a new fuel pump.

Well actually I haven't met any brainless mechanics but have met many sloppy overcharging and some dishonest mechanics who didn't bother to complete the job properly.

These are the people I would prefer to avoid

      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.

      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.
