Rust

JacksHereR · 02-10-2009, 10:12 AM

wondering what the 370Z rust protection is like 5 years I think? alluminium doors etc sounds very good and never rusts?. But how protected is the underside? any dodgy water traps? whats it made off? ie alloy arms and stuff?
I spose I should be asking how the older 350z are looking underside and see what components are different?

if I buy a 370z ill be keeping it till the world runs out of petrol or i die:

I always undercoat and rust protect all my cars very worth it.

Shumby lives in Canada where it's a must to rust proof !!!!

just to give an example, my family still has a '89 Pontiac which has been driven every winter since '89 and it is only showing rust now b/c i stopped rust proofing it 2 years ago......lol....and i live in Montreal where the roads are salted day and night...

Come to California to fix such problems. No snow or ice OR saltyness down here! ^^

^^^ +1 The last time it snowed in LA, I think I was 10-ish.

I had rust on the bumper of my first car and took it out with some cola!

Aside from that, I've never had rust on a car.
