TD 42 and td petrol use the same bottom end dan. the 4.5 and the 4.8 petrol jobs are also the same aprt from bore and stroke.

If you are gonna do it grab the 4.5 petrol number. Its a free 500 cc. The 4.8 would be the killer given that it already has the right head but its a bit thin on the ground.

Yeah but the TB45E has a bore/stroke of 99.5/96 whereas the TD42 has a bore/stroke of 96/96

The 4.5 will not rev as high as the 4.2 and the rod length/stroke ratio is right on for maximum torque and still being able to see 8k rpm.

I'm picking up the GT51R at the end of the financial year. :sorcerer:

go check out the trick and mansweto (sp) capri and tell us if a small block chev can crank like that thing

Quite sure. Mouse thats m.o.u.s.e. The rat family are the big blocks. Mouse motors are small blocks. Ya wanna rev get a chev. :P

dude i may be young but i know more about the old stuff than any thing else, and nothing revs like a small block ford.

but people have been having this same disscussion for more years than i have been alive and its never been settled so lets agree to disagree.

    • 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?
