Brake Fluid

[XrSiSt]

Hey guys,

As for the track day i'm considering changing my brake fluid to something like motul racing 600 synthetic.

Anyone recommend this or any other brand? :?

Anyone know how many litres would i need for a 33 Gtst?

Castrol SRF Racing Brake Fluid. Good stuff but doesn't come cheap. Don't ask how much cause last i bought it was in Nov.

Has a boiling point of 270C which is pretty good.

Race brakes australia has some good stuff... i might head out there and see what they think.

[XrSiSt]

so no one recommends this motul stuff?

[two40]

xrsist, just make sure it has a high wet boiling point. anything above 200C is good.

dry boiling point should be above 250C

[PranK]

what happens if you use normal brake fluid with a low boiling point and it boils?

[meggala]

smoke every where and no brakes

not much fun and an end to your track day

steve, have you seen this happen? besides having no brakes, what damage does it do if any?

[meggala]

no damage and yes I have seen it coming down mount buller not pretty.

you just need a 4 dot brake fluid

cheers

cheers mate.

i've got the 4 dot fluid but i don't know what it means. can you shed some light on it?

ATE make a very good fluid. Almost the boiling point of Castrol SRF but half the price(??). I can get some for peoples with a bit of notice ( via Bro in law)

Just to add this to the records,

After speaking with Racebrakes (yes them again),

I was told that if you put in hi-temp brake fluid, you

should change them every 3 months or so because

they attract alot of moisture.. Which is definately

not good for seals and braking for that fact. :cry:

I noticed Advan at Silverwater is selling Trust racing brake fluid for half price at around $30 a bottle (not sure on size - looks around a litre??) I was thinking of using this next time i change my brake fluid.

If anyone else is about to Advan had 2 cases of it left..... might be a worthy purchase...

PS dont take a credit card into the Advan shop.... you will regret it after wards.....

:lol:
