Get the standard factory Skyline mats from 51jay or anyone else who has some for sale, they look good, and they have a nice little metal "skyline" badge thingy on them :P

My car came with a full set in them, even in the back and over the hump. If you don't want to look ricey or get ones that don't fit quite right, then they're your best bet. Very hard wearing too. My cars done 130,000 and the mats still look brand new.

Joe,

The aluminum is starting to grow on me, but I don't know if it is considered too ricey?

See'ya:burnout:

pwptf , aluminium looks good but not the checker plate, looks too ricey and ya seen any race or Rally cars that are good with it in ?

Go the punched or drilled hole look .

Not hard , just takes time and a drill press.

Cheers

paul, try get some genuine skyline mats, they are secured by little ring/hook things that they attach to on the floor so they dont move anywhere... they'll save your carpet, they look decent too :)

i got the original skyline mates with my R33 and i think they are great they are nice and thick, good color, have a cool skyline badge on them and have hooking tabs to stop them moving forward under the peddle.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
