i was told by toshi a new rechip 200 bux if u start putting more mods on?.. Hmm..

well thats expensive as hell... and u dont need dyno tuning for a rechip... a good tuner will know what to do without having to dyno it...

everytuner should have maps for certain mods.

But not every car is the same, to get the most out of it a dyno tune would be recomended. Say all that needs to happen is my fuel pressure gauge to read wrong by a psi or two, and it could throw out the tune.

My thoughts anyway.

YO, kursed, sorry to hijack your thread for a second, but i saw your car in the pics of the sydney meetup? your car loks uncannilly similiar to mine, cep't a have different wheels,

anyway, i can't help but notice that your car sits a bit lower to the ground than mine, what suspension you got under there homie? is it stock s13?

hey bro, the cefiro sits on pedders sports ryder suspension, if you want i can dig up the exact part numbers so you can make sure they have the right parts in stock before heading into the workshop if you like. just pm me for it

Like i said... for minor mods like exhaust, AFM, boost and filter u dont need to dyno it... even if it is reading wrong its not going to be any different from before moding... u normally only need to pay for a simple dyno run... never tuning on a dyno... only time u should be paying for a lot of tuning on a dyno is for tuning SAFCs or Power FCs etc.

      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?
