Does anyone know what the OEM Super DOT 4 "Special" fluid for R35 is? I need to carry fluid to the track, so thought i would pick up a bottle. The dealership want about $180 for a litre. Now i know i can just flush the whole system out with Motul 600 or something, but for the moment i just want to bleed the calipers after a track day.

Anyone know?

I tried to Pm you but for some reason it won't let me, it's not just dot 4, it has a lower viscosity (spell) for the VDC system, if you replace it you "might" have an issue with the VDC. Maybe someone who has actually used a race style dot 4 could give you an idea it would cause an issue.

We've had one guy come in at work who bleed his system with non gen fluid and was having vdc issues. If your getting pre/post track checks from your nhpc they'll bleed them then, otherwise I havent heard/seen any non gen fluids around yet.

funny you should mention the VDC light though

bleed brakes last weekend with AP600.

the VDC light popped on for me momentarily at one stage of turning on and off but have driven all week without any issues and no more warnings

any good qual dot 4 will mix with it fine. any of the 600degree dot 4s will be good. RBF600, AP600 etc. all fine.

actually....I've tried all the top line brake fluids and got best results from the motul rbf600. the best thing about it is that it is about $30 a bottle from motor bike shops.

I have used ap 600, caltex (dark horse!), motul rbf600, brembo whateveritwas, agip. motul 600 performed best.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
