ok so before the next track day go and get about 3 litres of $4 brake fluid and flush the system well before putting in the Motul RBF600 in.....also might see the condition of the pads as well and then see if it needs changing and what to get next

Let me know when Krishy lol

Your just too good at reading my mind Lukey Boy

if the motul stuff your going to use Krishy is synthetic don't use mineral oil to flush your system use the same type of oil albeit a cheap brand

Thats a good idea

if anyone is after hardcore brake pads, i am an authorised agent in SA for Endless braking products :) (Car Toys is the other reseller)

PM me if you need more info

cheers - Kim

I've asked my mechanic that and he said it's not worth doing, should flush with the same fluid you intend to run in the system. Took 3 litres (BMW fluid $10 at trade per 500ml that has a boiling point of 302c) to completely flush my previous boiled fluid out (brake pedal to the firewall last Mallala before the course).. aprox 500ml per corner and whatever left over to fill ABS unit, lines and master cylinder resouvior. Castrol make a cheap DOT4 called Super Response (or Super DOT4 I can't remember), has a boiling point of 280c and was about $10 per 500ml at Repco last I looked.

There was 3 newish supras n 1 old school and a 86 chasing me in the mountains section.

Great shots Martin although next time I'll get out of the car and improve them (by my absence) or maybe I just have to work harder on my 'Gun Metal Steel' look.

Nice to see some Supras & the S15 as well. It was fun having a mixture of cars out there.

Technically you can get away with flushing the system with 1litre (when it's rbf600 $30 a bottle, I've got 2 unopened bottles in my garage), mechanic is bit of a perfectionist which is why the 3 litres (when its cheap fluid I don't mind)

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
