ok so before the next track day go and get about 3 litres of $4 brake fluid and flush the system well before putting in the Motul RBF600 in.....also might see the condition of the pads as well and then see if it needs changing and what to get next

Let me know when Krishy lol

Your just too good at reading my mind Lukey Boy

if the motul stuff your going to use Krishy is synthetic don't use mineral oil to flush your system use the same type of oil albeit a cheap brand

Thats a good idea

if anyone is after hardcore brake pads, i am an authorised agent in SA for Endless braking products :) (Car Toys is the other reseller)

PM me if you need more info

cheers - Kim

I've asked my mechanic that and he said it's not worth doing, should flush with the same fluid you intend to run in the system. Took 3 litres (BMW fluid $10 at trade per 500ml that has a boiling point of 302c) to completely flush my previous boiled fluid out (brake pedal to the firewall last Mallala before the course).. aprox 500ml per corner and whatever left over to fill ABS unit, lines and master cylinder resouvior. Castrol make a cheap DOT4 called Super Response (or Super DOT4 I can't remember), has a boiling point of 280c and was about $10 per 500ml at Repco last I looked.

There was 3 newish supras n 1 old school and a 86 chasing me in the mountains section.

Great shots Martin although next time I'll get out of the car and improve them (by my absence) or maybe I just have to work harder on my 'Gun Metal Steel' look.

Nice to see some Supras & the S15 as well. It was fun having a mixture of cars out there.

Technically you can get away with flushing the system with 1litre (when it's rbf600 $30 a bottle, I've got 2 unopened bottles in my garage), mechanic is bit of a perfectionist which is why the 3 litres (when its cheap fluid I don't mind)

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
