Cant tell difference in brake fluid colour, how much per caliper?

I'm going to replace the fluid in the GTR, anyone know roughly how many ml i should pull through each caliper for a flush?

Usually one bottle (500ml) is enough to do it all.  If you are worried get two bottles, it is cheap enough.

For what its worth my brake fluid comes out looking black as night so if it is still the same colour as what you are putting in it shouldnt be such a drama, surely?

lol that's what I thought too....if it's the same colour you may have been able to leave it a bit longer :)

I generally use half a bottle for the first corner (right rear) then the other half of the bottle for the other 3.  The line to the rear is by far the longest

Currently has 280 degree fluid and it goes off a bit at the track (pedal gets deeper and heel/toe becomes tricky), so I bleed some off and the pedal is hard again. Comes out completely clean. I'm going to change to Motul RBF600 (triple the price but 310 degrees) because i dont want to have to bleed it at the track.

      Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)

      Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day

      have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose

      Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
