I usually would use motul 4100 or 8100 or chrono, but repco doesnt stock it anymore, no other place stocks it either, i can get royal purple but its $96 for 5ltrs, i need 7.5ltrs with oil cooler so that starts getting ultra expensive considering i could get motul for $85...

Dot 5.1 brake fluid, can only find repco brand (which they say is penrite but i dont trust generic brands.

Where do people find decent fluids???

Central coast or sydney.

Buy online it seems is the only option and with shipping again its starts getting up there in price... Im used to just buying over the counter... Now i know why i was getting motul oil so cheap at repco, they were getting rid of it...

Ok thks, why do they list motul rbf600 brake fluid as factory line, so if i have braided lines does that mean i can just use motul 5.1 and is rbf600 just if your using std factory rubber hose???

Ok read motul site, 5.1 is specially formulated for abs, i dont have abs, so rbf600 is the go...?

I usually use a litre to flush lines and fill, bleed and top up, is that overkill and should be able to getaway with 500ml to do it. I take all my calipers off and clean, paint and refill all lines like once a year and a bleed and top up after an event...

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
