GTR daily driver

[louis110]

Has anyone seen an older car with the electronic rust proof systems?

I may end up scrapping my plan, but I wanted to keep my GTST as a summer/track car and get a GTR as a daily. Originally I was going to rust proof it yearly (krown etc) but my father recently had the electronic rust proofing installed so I was curiously if anyone has tried it on an older car?

The electric module works in theory, but practically speaking, a commercial unit with such a small power draw seems like a marketing ploy more than anything.

The above link is a document created by the module company, but they do back up their claims with lab tests from outside parties. But obviously take those tests with a grain of salt.

If I were you, I'd get the Krown rust proofing for sure, and augment it with the module if you don't mind spending the extra money (i don't think those modules cost too much anyway).

Cause a lot of other drivers are retarded and I'd rather have them slide into an r32 than my r35. Yeah its no ferrari, they're too slow (I hope with the mods its faster than the 458, atleast in a straight line)

[GTRDemon]

why not drive the r35 all year? Its newer and most likely built to withstand higher tolerances of rust, i understand it costs ten times more than an r32 but hey it aint a Ferrari

[Speeddm]

Guys they arnt made of glass and sugar. Drive your cars thats what they were built for.

Well if you live somewhere where it gets down to -45 they aren't going to salk the road seeing as its useless past -20 or w.e the temp is. I'm personally buying an r32 for year round use since I can keep it in my garage and don't have to worry about cold starts. I've always loved r32's and I think it will look great parked next to my r35

It's financially retarded... So your gonna buy a 8-10k GTR and its going to stay in top shape for 1 year meaby (rust etc.) Afther 1 year you can A) scrap de car (8k in the gutter) B) try the rebuild/replace the rusted parts $$$$ and it wont stop rusting.
A 15-20 years oid race car (without any agressive maintenance schedule) is not a daily driver...

Cat 4 = Category 4 meaning high quality. Near showroom condition.

nissans are made from paper thin metal. if you live in an area where they salt the roads expect it to turn into a rustbucket in a few years.

Please buy something lower than cat 4, PLEASE. Keep the mint GTRs off the snow for the love of god. Those cars rust if you look at them wrong.

Seriously, the parts weren't designed with snow and mind, a lot of crevices and exposed gaps makes it very rust prone to canadian winters. Trust me, your rear fenders will crack and bubble in the first year if it touches snow.

Again, take a beat up GTR on the snow, keep the mints off the snow!! It would break my heart.

i'm gonna sound like a huge noob but i don't care i have alot to learn lol what is cat 4, like as in category 4? what does that refer to

My friend is selling a geo metro if you want......400 saftied

AMEN to that !!! :P

Oh god please dont....

Find a $900 beater, thats what im doing so I dont have to wreck my purty gts-t...

Maybe if they didnt salt the roads, and you had snow tires and stock suspension is alright, but that salt is nasty stuff.

[MarusGTR]

thats true but do you think it would be alright if it were washed regularly? a friend of a friend owns a Silvia and tried driving it in the winter and said it was just murder to the body, but he said his friend drove his GTR in the winter and it was fine in terms of that

*le sigh* I won't even ask...

Btw, general consensus is that washing it doesn't actually help, because the salt that's over the paint is inert until is gets soluble in water. So when you wash you actually can make it worse by spreading saline water around.
