You got rotted floorboards?? Id suggest cutting out a big section of it then welding in sheetmetal and grinding it down smooth...por15 then paint it....and for rockers...nissan sells them...if you got DEEEEEEPPPP pockets

Naw, the rockers are fine, tiny bit rusty. The floor is what I was surprised at, seeing as its the rockers that are a HUGE thing with these fourth gens. Theyre rotted near the front wheels, and here in good old wisconsin, we are very liberal with salt, LOL. Sometimes it feels like driving on a gravel road in the winter, NO LIE! Must be from salt being tossed at the underside! But yeah, I'm not worried abvout the other stuff. As a matter of fact, you can see the holes in my "Scary Bits" album on my profile.

Also, i am a REALLY good patcher, so this will not be a problem. I had a good teacher.

I find this weird that the only other place related to problems with rust on 4th gen maximas is the core support. I've got mostly surface rust, but then again, I got spalsh shields under the car, so it probably got spared a lot of the abuse from salt and such. I have rust in the weirdest spots. I shouldnt be surprised. This kind of **** happens to me a lot, LOL. I get the oddballs I guess.

Im having the same prob with my 95 the hose from the sunroof drain broke and it rusted out everything.... and i was wondering what is the best way to go about this.... btw im new to the org and was hoping i could get as much help as possible tryna get rid of all the ugly first before i start with the engine modding :]

From reading up on rust issues in the numerous forums on here, I can honestly say you need to inspect all these places to see if they're rotten:

-core support
-rocker panels/wheel wells towards the rear
-bottom of quarter panel near trunk of car (drain hoses like to break there )

Still more research to do, but this is a start. best thing i can say now is to keep doing your research. Look up EVERYTHING concerning rust repair. Hope this helps.

boostplz!

thnx... yeah i core support is all bad im planning on doing that some time soon... im just trying to find a day i can take apart the ol' max and really inspect everything!
