I was going through some videos on Youtube and I came across this little piece........if you are a hardcore fan of skylines then I'm sure you would seen the famous Battle Royale between the tuners. The famous battle between the Mines 34 and MCR 34, well, I didn't know their rivalry ran this deep. This would've been back in the late 90s and it certainly brought back a sense of de ja vu. That and the recent get together of their R35 really got me thinking, will the MCR lose to Mines AGAIN?

I feel this video is too special to just throw in the youtube section(oblivion), I just think that us die hard fans should learn a bit about the history behind it all.

Its not de ja vu! it will really happen . . . MCR is kinda slow this days . . .But they will work on it for sure!

wouldn't exactly call MCR slow considering they came with in milliseconds of beating the Mines GTR, just never happened until now. But then again, the 1.01 lap time in the R35 was by Tsuchiya and on a stock car. So I hope they have better luck this time around.

And the fact that the main policy behind MCRs cars is to make the fastest street car with all the options eg: Air con,sat nav,leather and cup holders lol

Other tuning companies take all this stuff out.

the poor bastard has been trying to surpass mines for years now. Here's a theoretical situation, if Mines took their car to the Touge Grand Prix, who would come out on top?

Currently, MCR hold the titles being the only GTR in the top 8 or something. How would Mines fare?

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      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.
