To answer a few questions.

Ok i added my avatar here.

I got the redtop and all the gear for a real good price so i couldnt pass it up. i can always upgrade to a silvertop if i like.

I chose the rb20 over the sr for a few reasons which have been discussed before. also sr20's have been done heaps of times in these cars. this will be australia's first rb engined e21. even if it is a dirty red top! haha

no camera plus engine isnt in was trail fitted now everything is taken apart. i.e diff etc. not easy finding aftermarket parts for these buggers wil post once its all in

There's a guy on eurocca.net who is wel into a project involving a heavily modified 2j and a e30. but thats going a bit off topic.

In reguards to the redtop, i have already pissed off the butterfly's in the manifold. once i get it all in, plated and running ill certainly look t a low mileage silvertop, or maybe build one up outside the car with forget internals and that.

    • 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? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
