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.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
