Checked another Autobarn. They have it for $34.99 per 500ml bottle. Sounds pricey. Is that about right? Castrol dot 4 is only $10.

I get it from autobarn in Moorabbin and pay about that.

And if you think the $34odd (for 500ml) dollars is expensive try buying the castrol racing brake fluid....1 litre for about the $120 mark!!

Yeah price is right, good stuff though. Worst bit is I have an amost full bottle sitting in the garage. I had to open it as 1 wasn't enough when I was bleeding the brakes. Apparently its not good to leave it sitting round even though it's done up tight. Anyone know how true this is?

How longs it been sitting there?

I cant see how it sitting there would effect it, I mean it may sit on the shelves for months b4 sold.

Unless its once its been opened then its "shelf life" begins?

But yeah, 100% Autobarn should have it, if they dont ask them to call neighbouring stores for ya so u can swing past there n get.

I know the Scumshine store has plenty of them. :domokun:

Motorbike shops are the go :) I got it there last time and they always tend to have it. Where abouts are you?

Edit - Just re-read your post. Check the Motorbike shops down on Burwood Hwy in FTG near Safeway :)

Yep Try The motorbike shops there.. that's where i get mine from. The one with the Jetski shop downstairs... Don't think i was paying that much, think it was $25 or something, maybe 30...

Yeah I think the reason is the moisture in the air gets into it which is bad. But think about it - what about the fluid in your master cyl that is sitting there with a lid on it (probably not as air tight as the lid on the RBF600 bottle).... so yeah i don't belive it. I've got a half bottle sitting in my toolbox draw with the lid really tight...

Yep spot on ferni....as far as I know as you move up the dot rating (dot 4 - dot 5 - dot 5.1 etc) the brake fluid becomes more succeptable to absorbing water and as we know the higher the water content in the fluid the lower the boilng point etc which in turn means a dodgier brake pedal. This is why dot 4 brake fluid in most everyday cars don't need to be replaced as often as dot 5.1 fluid.

That said as long as you don't leave the container open for extended periods and the cap is on tight it should last a while.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
