I was worried about it too, I didn't want it to feel like it was some kind of FULL RACE CAR STUPIDNESS when I was going out to get milk.

But even at its most severe, it really wasn't. If anything it felt more 'positive' and wasn't too extreme. Fully manualizing it is the most cost effective option, if you can get clutch packs and having the thing lock for fuel economy (lol) that's probably the most important thing to do. If you're using a Nistune, you probably won't need the ECU, the OEM programming of the thing was actually close to what the TCM had programmed into it.

If I had've read the wiring diagram to begin with instead of trusting the mechanics before DTM.. I would have got the Nistune actually working with the GTT ECU in the GT N/A car and never needed Haltechs and the PCS 😛

Car already had a nistune and it has been replaced with a new Link G4X stormX ecu so it doesn't have trans control communicating properly, looking more and more likely to end up going manual valve body

Have spoken to MVand bloke told me would need to change a few things inside the trans mechanically before putting a manual valve body in it, because apparently not supposed to be compatible with the B transmission,  would also need a different/aftermarket shifter to be able to get first gear, and a new stall  converter because it wouldn't be a lock up one. 

Then I would have to ship it to em etc too. So would be a costly experience

      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.
