Hi guys,

Due to difficulties in my RB26 engine buildup I am offering up my pistons + rods for sale.

Apexi 86mm V-Max SPL pistons - these are the top of the line pistons, rated at 1200ps+ and come with larger 22mm gudgeon pins, rings and a manual in Japanese to stick on your mantelpiece. Rec. retail for these are 240,000Yen - around $AU3000.

HKS step 3? rods - the top of the line rods, only due to the larger pin needed for the above pistons. Made by Carrillo. These retail at ~200,000Yen, or $AU2500.

I bought these at near retail price for my own use. They have not been installed in any motor yet, rods have surface discoloration from sitting around and being handled alot (people always want to "just hold them a minute" supposedly to feel their weight).

Will only part with these for $4000 firm. Please don't try to barter on them, or make outlandish offers as they cost me a touch over $5000 landed here.

      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.

      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?
