Brake Fluid - dot 5.1

[4door_Sleeper]

Hi guys

I have recently had the brakes on my R33 GTSt done, and asked the workshop to flush the system and install dot 5.1 fluid (has recieved good reviews from a few sources). The problem is that when the worksop orderedit in the bottle said - "DOT 4 and DOT 5.1" to which they said something like W.T.F and didnt put it in. They are hapy to flush the system and put in the DOT5.1 (free of charge) if I get it for them.

So my question(s) is/are:

1. Can you purchase brake fluid that is DOT 5.1 (is it also DOT4)

2. If so what brand and from where did you get it?

PS the reason for the 5.1 is because the brakes get a bit of a workout on some of our extended hills runs, and keeping up with the GTRs forces me to be a bit heavy on the brakes.

You can get some Motul 5.1 500ml for ~$11 / bottle

go with the recommended rating for your car. most of the fluid i used (castrol & motul) are dot 4, 5 and 5.1 compactible.
