It's always in there and mostly causes no problems.

probably because Skylines get bought up by dealers. In later hopes of selling them at a profit. Yet they let them rot outside for years before off loading them.

or Australia or British market cars.

There is no way you would find rust like that on a japanese market car that was owned by someone that drove it on the streets. the JCI inspection alone would ensure it was well maintained.

It's a common problem with all cars.

Well my '97 vw golf shitbox doesn't have it

how about every post 2006 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra having rust everywhere?

>>17138131

depends how you care for it. my 79 Supra, 91 Crown, 91 Sambar, and 00 Silverado all have no rust because i wash them often. when i was a mechanic we had some 3-4 year old vehicles come over from Ontario that had frame rot already

every make has rust issues somewhere down the line. Chevy Malibu were know for major rust around the gas cap that GM refused to recall, every post 2006 GM pickup has major rust, Dodge Sprinter are basically rusted out right off the lot like Mazda Protege, etc.

No shit it depends how you take care of it. It depends on a lot of things. Some cars don't get water or dirt there at all.

Doesn't change the fact that making sure the strut towers are rust free is step 1 of a lot of cars. Not specific to the Skyline whatsoever.

anyone who tells you it's always in there is lying to try and get you to buy a shitty rusted car

>Mostly causes no problems
You're a fucking idiot lol
All rust causes problems and if it's in a structural area it causes major problems.

If patching strut towers isn't in your comfortable skill set you shouldn't be buying cars with rusted strut towers unless you're a ricer who doesn't care.

But finding one rust-free is like finding a needle in a haystack.

>cor ed we've got ourselves a proper jap super drift car here pal in sha allah

I saw a 2013-ish Ram pickup today and the rocker panels on both sides were open and rotting.

Was pretty sad-looking
