If my car wasnt pinging in 4th gear i would probably enter. But looks like the car needs a bit more attention then i hoped. :P So for the minute i am beign sensible and keeping my money in my pocket as the car is driving fine...and the fix to the pinging, wheel alignment, gearbox fluid and tyres all means too much dollars pre drunken bahviour in San Sebastian.

Ive just notice about 63 cars are entered!!!

hows track time gonna be with that many? im guessing everyone will only get a couple of sessions and thats it?

We will get at least 4 sessions, generally 5 sessions as most people pull the pin late in the day so you rarely leave feeling short of track time.

13 GT-R's and counting :down:

Yeah 63 cars for Sandown is bugger all so there will be plenty of track time.

The weather looks great too so thats a nice change. Will be nice to drive with some grip! Certainly better than my last few track runs.

    • 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?
