Is my 1999 P11 (not later P11-144 version) Primera galvanised? If so, what parts of the car?

I don't know but the only rust protection on my 1997 Micra is a thin layer of dirt and an even thinner layer of paint.

My old 1997 Metro was covered in plastic shields and a PVC type covering on the floor. 'Japanese' cars aren't always better quality.

P11 is not galvanised as far as I know. Its not often you see a rusty one though (unless its been accident repair). The older P10 used to rot in the back of the sill, but still not bad overall.

K11 Micras can rust in the front crossmember and in the sills and rear chassis members. A lot depends on how/where they have been kept.
