Just want to check if it's still on???. I didn't have time to call to find out today.

I might have to call up CAMS tomorrow to get them to fax a temp license since mine still hasn't arrived yet.

So who's coming tomorrow?

NSW people are soft..............................................that is all

I seemed to be the only person representing our glorious branch of the club. Maybe I should move down to Vic.......:D

Hopefully Anna would have some pics loaded up today and also the vic people will have lots of photos in their section.

Was good to see the Vic guys again

Shame about the weather

you kidding me!!!!??? , half the fun was learning the limits in the rain......

I'd say this is perfect for people to learn about how cars behave in the rain......and how you can a really insane amount of understeer follow by oversteer

really really worth doing it in the rain......fcuk lap times, they mean shit, not when the things you learn in the rain can help you stay alive on the road.

I'm still have a smile from going down the main straight at 200km/h in heavy rain.

that turn (the one where you can see the other side of the track and all the main building and it slopes downwards), is evil.....so slippery in the wet. Locked up there once.....was shitting myself.

that poor fella in the 34

Good day, heaps slippery.

Having a couple of mm toe out at the front and a couple toe in at the back was not optimal in the wet on road rubber. But it was still a fun day out, and say hi to the Vic guys. Those guys have some fast cars.

Good to meet you mate (I was the guy chatting to you in the beanie if you don't remember)

Certainly looked like you were all having some great fun out there, certainly entertaining watching you guys in the rain :P

O Tommo that was your R33 very nice beast. KLR33 was your car matt black and striped out was wounding if you where on the forums.

Thanks mate, I was thinking the same about yours... very clean. I've seen you out and about on the GWH quite a few times late on Saturday nights :D

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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?
