best value brake fluid is the Penrite Sin 600deg for about $16 a bottle last time I bought some. Worked great in the heavy GTR at QR which is reknowned for being hard on brakes. Previously with new DOT4 fluid the pedal got long on the 2nd lap. With the Penrite I still had a great pedal after 7 laps - long after the pads had faded.

Super Dot4 is better than Dot4.

I'm glad you gave it a good go though.

sure, and super man is better than a man. and super mario is better than mario. but yet super hicas is not better than hicas. strange.

harry I've used penrite Sin and thought it was pretty good too. not as good as motul but its in the top 5 of brake fluid I have tried, and at $16 a bottle it would be a bargain

  • 1 month later...

So I took your guys advise..

Ran the Penrite SIN brake fluid.. fixed my gympy 4th gear I got from last wakie day.. and got a better set of semi's.. also I removed the dust cover things over the brakes for better cooling..

Weight stripped was:

Entire boot

Back seat

Passener seat

Also sorted was my suspention set up..

I was lucky enough to get assistance from a more experinced driver too..

By the end of the day I was braking much later and harder than last time..

I can also safley say that it was with out a doubt one of the quickest cars on the day through the twisties..

What did all this equate to?

1:18.7!

Who said NA's are slow?

Well done!

That is good!

When did you go down? And who with?

Let us know next time you go and if there is official timing, Im keen :) but I just gotta stop doing this and I'll be quicker :D

I dont think I got one bit of oversteer with the new rubber..

Ill definatly try attend the next SAU track day.. be good to see how I stack up against the turbo's..

BRING ON THE 1:17's! :(

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
