I have a 95 maxima with about 130k miles in IL. I noticed at the end of last winter that the paint on the passenger side rear wheel well start to peel. Does anyone else have issues with rust? I guess after 10 yrs, its not a surprise for a japanese car...

 

well ma paint isnt peelin but there is sum small spots of rust,...ill post up pics 2morow...i hav a 96 pearl white with 105k milez so yea

 

I have a 97 and I'm not rusting yet, except for my hood where all the rocks flew and scraped off some of the paint, but besides that nope. But my dad's 94 altima has a rust part on it, but he did some stuff to it so it would stop peeling and rusting back there.

 

I have a 98 and im rusting on front driver side fender, and clear coat peeling off but i think my car was wreked before i got it.

 

I have one small speck of rust where paint chipped on my fender, but that's the only body rust. My exhaust rusted through about a year and a half ago, so I replaced that, and just last night the rust finally got to the heat shield over the catalytic converter and it fell off while I was driving. As for body rust I think I'm fairly lucky.

 

Get RUST BULLLET.... it works great

 

Front Passenger Door at the bottom the edges are rusting

 

Mine is a '95 and has lived it's whole life in the Northeast and has not a single speck of rust on it

 

95 w/ 182k. Slight rust on the bottom of both fenders. Undercarriage = all rust

 

96 Champagne:

rust on trunk lid at spoiler joint (fixed)
rust on rear passenger side wheel well (bubbling - looking for a cheap fix)
uncarriage: god awful!

(but i think that's not too bad being nearly 10 years old and spending every minute of it in frigid, wet, salty Minnesota roads...)

 

Even my undercarriage isn't that bad Part of my exhaust was starting to rust through before I replaced it...but that's it.

 

oh yeah, my muffler is pretty bad too. but not the rest of the exhaust.

 

My stock muffler already rusted out. The only other spots I've seen it are in the small rock chips on my hood, some bubbling paint on my roof, and a couple small blotches inside my trunk. Previous owner must have never rustproofed it but I get it done annually.

 

Yep Turbo my wife's 1996 (4th gen) SE (135k Miles) had surface rust on the rear left wheel arch (passenger side in NZ). You just sand it back till you see metal, spray some sort of 'Rust Stop' agent on it and then when you get the chance touch-up paint it.

I think the wheel arches in 4th gens are particularly prone to rusting. Depends, if you live by ocean (saltwater mist) or salt for traction on the roads if you live somewhere snowy in winter.

I hope that's what you're after mate.

 

BTW Supra, have you an RZ Toyota Supra TT? Mean cars if you do bro. I hope she's manual...grrrr...OT sorry.
